I think that's the difference. Someone who does enjoy it will quickly build a tolerance to that level of spice.

My cousin once drank from a Sriracha sauce bottle like it was a water bottle because he enjoyed the flavour that much. He regretted it when he realized that his mouth had built more tolerance than his other end, though.

How does one build up a tolerance on the other end?

Spicy enemas. Or by regularly consuming so much spice that some makes it to that end, since binding to a heat receptor uses it up, as I understand it.
