Which part of the article was bullshit evpsych theory about how your brain evolved to enjoy badly-written erotica?
Just like any narrative language, erotic fiction is transporting. It just happens to transport you into experiencing sights and sounds that are emotionally charged and sexually arousing. If you were Anastasia Steele in flagrante delicto, your pulse would race, you'd start sweating and blood would flush your sexual organs. Reading about Anastasia Steele in such a state leads you to actually experience a little of the same.
Consequently, reading smut is arousing.
There is no "big deal," per se.
You are suggesting that everything the writer says in that blog is common knowledge.
Thinking about sex turns people on! THIS IS NEW INFORMATION!!!!
