> none of that would stop me or deter me regardless of how vividly it was described<

If I take a detached clinical view I can do the same thing, but when I read for pleasure I like to get totally immersed in the story. The moment it becomes personal, I bring my own 'stuff' to the story. I like that it 'feels real', but there are definite limits on what I like to feel.
