Spicy foods? aquired taste?!

Question: Can you develop an acquired taste for spicy foods? if you are new to them even mild will burn, but ive been eating almost solely spicy foods for a while and can eat spicy graded sauces without batting an eyelash, is this truly an acquired taste? i cant remember a time however that spicy foods tasted too hot for me. also, would it be possible to even develop a spicy taste for habeneros? or something even spicier?

i've been eating spicy food since I was like 10. I honestly don't remember if It was acquired. I think you become less effected. I ate level 10 curry and it was spicy but not that bad... now It's not spicy enough. I recently bought Bhut Jolokia in a ground form... it's hot but I can eat it without a drink or not finishing my plate..

if sure the more spicey foods you eat the more used to the heat you get until you develop an iron gut
