I actually hold a similar opinion with respect to pornography in general.
I am not into spectator sports as I consider them to be such a pale shade
of participation that it is usually not worth the time spent. In a more
general sense, I've never been interested in living any part of my life in
a third person role. Considering the fact that one could experience the
much, much richer first person experience with roughly the same investment
in time, I personally do not understand the fascination with nude
photographs either.
Of course, there are some things for which it is simply not possible for me
to participate in a first person role, but I find that I have a hard time
maintaining interest in experiences that (for now) cannot be had within my
personal realm of experience.
