I think that he was not so straightlaced in those matters as his father. Though certainly much more straightlaced than Fredo, of course
. Mike had many "adolescent crushes", he had no scruples whatever sleeping with Kay before wedding, and if you read attentively everything about the lust, the passionate desire to
possess that he felt to Apollonia, and the description of their sexual life, you would not think that he was modest in sex...
I rather think he had good taste. And the ugly dirty sight that could excite Fredo out of his wits, had no value for choosy aesthete like Mike.
