Is lowering the gaze really that difficult for men?

As a hijabi woman, when I mention that wearing hijab in hot weather is tough and that men have it easier because their awrah is smaller and less hot to cover, people often respond by saying men have to lower their gaze, which is really hard. So I'm curious: is it actually that hard? Do men still feel strong desires around every attractive woman even after their teenage years? (English isn't my first language, so forgive any mistakes.)

No, not every attractive woman. After youth, it becomes more controllable but still a test.

Yes, it is hard. We are visual creatures. The struggle is real, but we must strive.

The hijab is hard in heat, I agree. But lowering gaze is also a constant battle, sister.

Men in my family say it's a lifelong effort. They still notice but learn to look away quickly.

As a woman, I can't know, but from what men tell me, it's difficult. May Allah help them.
