Women less sensitive to pain than men

Women tend to forget pain they suffered more quickly than men, confirmed a new study in mice and humans, challenging the widely held belief the fairer sex are more sensitive to pain than men. The study, by researchers from Canada’s University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), showed men and women remembered earlier painful experiences differently. While men (and male mice) remembered earlier painful experiences clearly, women (and female mice) did not seem to forget.
