50 percent more pain

[DougBTX]

The soft part of my finger rests on the pointed bit, and the cap presses down on my nail. As Breen moves a slider that goes from 1 to 20, my finger is pushed down harder and harder. "Tell me when it gets to be too much," she says.

It reaches about 13 before I yelp. "OK, too much!"

Breen's eyes are shining. "One of the things Dr. Komisaruk discovered is that women who are stimulating the anterior vaginal wall can take 50 percent more pain than they can when they're not," she tells me excitedly. "If they have an orgasm, their pain threshold rises 100 percent."

Unfortunately I'm neither stimulating nor orgasming and my finger is still squashed. "Could you take my finger out please?" I gurgle.

"Oh, sorry!" Breen says, releasing me and warming again to the topic. Her doctoral work indicates that a woman with lingering soreness from a back injury can get up to a full day's relief by using the stimulator once a day for several minutes.

Komisaruk and Breen hope to someday develop a painkiller based on this quirk of the female body. Komisaruk has even patented a small sequence of amino acids associated with the pain-dimming effects of vaginal stimulation. "In rats we've determined that our analgesic is more effective than morphine," he says.

A new drug for pain is great, but I'm looking for orgasm in a bottle. When am I going to get my pleasure pill, and how will it work?

I'm sure this isn't news to people in this forum, but just so you know scientists are working on it too
