This happens with all stimuli, its called desensitization. [animal cruelty] Go get yourself an earthworm and a toothpick. Gently prod the worm. Assuming all is well with the worm, it will squirm furiously at being prodded. Wait a couple minutes and prod again, it will probably squirm about as much. Repeat a few times, though, and you'd be surprised how short a while it takes for the worm to all but ignore it.[/animal cruelty]
