Okay. Now I'm thinking.

This says that redheads need more anesthesia than other paitents because of a greater sensitivity to pain.

Now I -really- want to experiment if this can also be translated to a greater sensativity to pleasure. (Really, this is almost a given, since the study primarily characterizes it as a sensativity to -sensation-, but I want to know!) And in my case, since I have some red, but mostly highlights, does that mean that I don't experience quite as much pleasure as my redheaded, luscious, lovely, sinful, sweet...er. Um. Sorry. Rambling. That is to say I might not experience quite as much pleasure as my redheaded partner, but we still experience more pleasure than we might if we were blondes or brunettes?

Damn, but science turns me on some mornings.

Ditto. Although I did require extra anesthesia during an operation last year. But, after the accident that mandated that operation, I needed no painkillers for four days immediately following (I got morphine the day of, under protest). When I did need painkillers, it registered more as "that might start smarting kinda soon" than as "just bring the firing squad, please."

And heck, getting whapped in sword class hurts, yes, but not badly enough for the world to stop. Except when I got hit over the kidney that time... well, those five consecutive times in six minutes.

Eew.

We have... informal swordclass... as in, people pick up pipes or whatever vaguely long object and square off in the hallways just for fun. ^^;;;
