It can have its benefits if you want to really get to know your Beast. You can actually speed up the desensitization with repeated, intentional taunts, in effect wearing out the Beast. For example, Elvis could force his Beast to come out and play by watching YouTube video reviews of his favorite German beers. It wouldn't feel pleasant, but it would raise the stakes and ratchet up the beat-down on his Beast.
Instant work out. :-)
