While the book was interesting, I don't think reading Watchmen was a "new experience" for me. It definitely wasn't as new of an experience as the author of the article described it; I wouldn't say reading the book is like sex at all.

Sure, the graphic novel was different from regular novels, but it wasn't really "new." In fact, for the most part, while I was reading, it felt just like reading any other book; the only difference was the way that it had to be read (following the pictures rather than textual descriptions). Maybe it's just because I've read a few comics when I was little, but it just didn't seem that new and exciting -- no more than any other book that I have read, at least.
