Sorry if I'm jumping into the conversation and if it's totally unrelated, but I just had a quick question and wanted to get all of your responses to it.

I've been reading stories for quite a while, probably before I should have, but the last year or so I've been trying to find out what my real interests are (and yes, I've begun the enrolling process in the Academy). But regarding the reality of stories...if you read about something, and it makes you excited, is that at all a telling factor in what you would be interested in if it were to happen in real life? Here's an example in case the question is confusing...let's say I've been reading stories that contain spanking, and they've all excited me. Would it be reasonably safe to assume that real-life spanking would also excite me? Or is there really no way to tell/judge my reaction until it actually happened?

Thanks in advance,
~Lily
