Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

For the same reason people find some kinks appealing in fic but not IRL. You can find something arousing without necessarily being interested in experiencing it yourself. For instance, sorry for the slight TMI but, I find S&M really hot in fiction (even in RPing), but it's definitely not something I'd like to experience IRL, be it as a dom or as a sub. I doubt anyone who is into tentacle porn would like to have it happen to them, either.

I don't really see why fiction, especially romance and smut, should necessarily have to do with what you already have IRL. That's boring. Something that you don't experience in life is much more interesting -- that's why there's a shitload of accountants but not so many novels describing the thrilling turmoils of accounting...
