"For too long pain has been seen as sensory, when really it’s an emotion"

A very interesting article on pain in yesterday's Times magazine - read it here:

Just to quote again: "Why is it that the aches and twinges felt after running a marathon or giving birth can be enjoyable when other comparable physical stresses are not? How does the context of pain act as a physiological trigger? And, most tantalisingly, can pain be mentally repositioned so that it is a neutral experience, or even a pleasurable one?"

I think fellow spankers would say "yes" to that last proposition!

A most interesting thesis indeed..and I tend to agree...perhaps we can explore this further at our 'workshop' on Tuesday.....
