I was going to suggest the same.

Miles, I think the suggestion is that sexual pleasure translates to  
stimulus of sensory thingummies (organs, receptors, nerves, whatever)  
and hence more the sensory stimulation higher the sexual pleasure. And  
sensory stimulation (and capacity for it) is a measurable/quantifiable  
thing. All very reductionist, of course, and potentially wrong. But  
again, that's not the objection raised!
