according to the international best seller Da Vinci's Code sexual intercourse (i think Dan Brown referred to the traditional sense of sex, anal probably not included) between a man and a woman has always been a very important means to acquire inspiration. Based on some unknown source of "scientific research"(can't imagine what scientists DON't do these days), when the Man is having orgasm he experiences about five seconds of thoughtlessness, absolute emptiness of mind which certain religious groups claim to be the purest moment when mortals can communicate with God.
Throughout history, it seems that many successful artists find this method useful as well, which explains the notorious relationship between the art circle and the little magic word called "love", or another magic word called "affairs". Cos c'mon, Picasso definitely had to protest, we are talking about an issue of life and death here! Without having sex I may lose job and my paintings will never worth as much as they do now!! Picasso left his wife (not sure about which one) and his children (not even sure about their authenticity) two hundred million U.S. dollars after his death, sorry, "immediately" after his death. And now we all know that he worked really hard for it.
It even works for people in politics. See how Bill clinton is much more popular than George W. Bush?
