Things would require no risk to do are not interesting.

For example, the reason why porn is mostly uninteresting is because it takes no risk. Unless, someone else is at home. Text much more risk to try to pick someone up, go to the local bar and nightclub. Social risk taking is a noble one.

Also, the reason why I love powerlifting so much is that it is real risk, in the realm of your own body.

Also the reason I love cryptocurrency, and crypto-speculation is the risk and the balls that takes to speculating it. Why? It is the most volatile, and perhaps the most risky thing to put your money on.
