This does not necessarily follow. I have (ahem, my username is not anonymous but I don't think this is controversial anymore) enjoyed porn of a nature that I wouldn't necessarily participate in. You can also enjoy porn that is completely fantastical and thus impossible to participate in, such as the infamous "hentai", or (I will never understand this) that "my little pony" porn genre, or from an unrealistic (or is it... fantastically realistic?) flash game such as "Super Deepthroat" (introduced a while back to me by a female Redditor who claimed she could ONLY orgasm to it, perhaps surprisingly), and if this article is to be believed, human women are generally turned on by ANY sexual expression, even if they claim not to be, which would ostensibly include scenarios they would be unwilling to participate in: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/fashion/12bisex.html

(To any future employers, friends, clients, interlopers and all others who encounter this after getting to know me... None of this should terribly surprise you. ;) )

Obviously, it does not follow, but it seems likely that there is a correlation. I think it bears examination because knowing yourself is generally a good thing.

I say this because I too enjoy some porn that I thing I wouldn't want to participate in. I found it rather productive to consider what this means about me.
