Enjoying the threads about reality and fantasy (
viewtopic.php?t=23557) and realistic writing (
viewtopic.php?t=22121) and wanted to post a related but different question:
1. What is something you enjoy reading/writing about but DON'T like doing/being done to you in real life?
And
2. What is something you enjoy in real life but DON'T like reading/writing about?

For me it's:
1: I like reading and writing stories with long-term bondage and complete ownership. Its fun to conceptualize what being trapped in someone's house/prison/farm for years would be like, and it's fun to read about people who get kidnapped and turned into permeant bondage slaves. "Luke's Crew", "How I became the college dorm slave", and a lot of work on metalbondnyc's site are some of my favorite M/M examples of this. Irl though I enjoy having my own life, seeing friends and family, and doing normal stuff too much. The longest consecutive time I'd want to be held captive is probably a weekend.
2: I love escape challenges in real life but really struggle to write them. I've read a few really good escape-challenge stories (notably "Rope Gulch" and an old escape room one I can't remember the name of) but I don't search them out like I search out stories with torture and long-term bondage, despite the fact that in real life I actually enjoy escape challenges more.
