Last time, David Brandenburger #214 said this to Stuart Lauderdale #50 @18:

 DB#> Not true friends. Pain & pleasure are simply viewpoints in
 DB#> relationship to the individual & their GOAL(s). From a PHYSICAL
 DB#> standpoint, pain & pleasure are INTERPRETATIONS of "PRESSURE". For
 DB#> instance in sexuality, B & D - S & M people PERCEIVE "INTENSE PRESSURE"
 DB#> as pleasurable. One can also TRAIN one's body to have increasing amouts
 DB#> of PRESSURE as, at least NOT painful and possible as pleasureable.
 DB#> Also LOVE(ing) can be PAINFUL. My wife is a quadraplegic suffering
 DB#> from many problems. I perceive PAIN everytime I light her a cigarette &
 DB#> she smokes it. I  have pain every time I have to give her an injection.
 DB#> I FEEL her nausea when she does. If I didn't love her I would NOT BE
 DB#> attune to these sensations. DAve B.

Pressure, huh?  Simple as that?  Why does fire give you pain?  No pressure
there.  Why does a bright light hurt your eyes?  No pressure there either.
Therefore, there has to be a different definition of pain than the one you lay
forth.  The one you laid out only seems to apply to sex, which is definately
your favorite subject.
