I would view this as a challange, no – you are right, it will not lead to any aveiros that I can think of. But as someone previously mentioned, it IS a control thing. I would suggest to view it as a nisayon, see how long you can hold out, try and overcome the teiva before just giving in. Play a game in your mind, challanging the yetzer back- showing him who is in control. Not that this is something major, but to show the yetzer hara that if something more major should come up you are up for the challange, you have practiced!! If you are still having debates perhaps ask your Rav if it would be considered breaking a Neder. Dont forget – one slip doesnt mean forget the entire thing! Just bounce right back into it. Am yisroel relates to people like you who face these challanges daily, in this manner and in many others. Am yisroel thrives on a challenge – go for it, put the yetzer to shame! Hatzlacha!
