Pain and poses

Men and Women and
Pain DIFFERENCES?
Are these WORTHY topics...

But not all women are turned off by pain, perhaps? Or are some more sensitive than others? 

And not all men are the same, perhaps? 

Everyone's body is different! Right???)

Hmmm

But perhaps there are trends...

"The Need For Physical Pain 

Interestingly, boys and girls experience pain differently. For boys, physical pain can be a stimulant fueling mental clarity. On the other hand, physical pain for girls can be a narcotic, making them feel hazy and confused. 

I’ve seen this in myself. Some of my greatest insights have come while pushing myself to the extreme while doing yard work or while exercising. This phenomenon is also seen in endurance athletes who push themselves through pain for many hours at a time."

Who wants to add more pain?
Who wants to feel more hazy and confused?
MAYBE IT COULD USE MORE RESEARCH???

"Men and women, in fact, can be so different in the way their nervous systems process pain that someday there may be “pink pills for women, and blue pills for men,’’ he says. The lopsided research exists solely because of “inertia,’’ he adds.

Others agree, among them Dr. Roger B. Fillingim, lead author of an exhaustive 2009 review of sex and pain research published by the American Pain Society. In that paper, Fillingim, a pain researcher at the University of Florida, notes that while the National Institutes of Health now require routine inclusion of both sexes in human studies, much animal research “continues to eschew females.’’ Given that pain is mainly a female problem, he adds, this means research “that excludes females is incomplete at best and invalid at worst.’’
