I used to not like spicy foods and now I do. Why?

Sitting here eating a bag of Chip's Fuego (pretty spicy!) I brought home from Mexico, I got to thinking that 5 years ago I would have been scared to even try one. I just was not a Spicy Food Person. Like, at all. Now I love spicy food. Why? Is it age? Did I grow a new tongue? Scientific explanations, speculation, all welcome!
