It gets easier the more spicy food you eat. I think your brain just starts muting the pain response because it clearly isn't stopping the painful thing from happening.

Also, spiciness is an easy way to get some flavor into an otherwise bland dish. Handy if you're on a diet.

And it hurts in kinda a good way? Kinda, like wiggling a loose tooth when you're a kid...
