The debate about which sex has the highest threshold of pain It leads almost from the beginning of human history. Men believe that they are capable to endure much more pain than women, so the stronger sex is involved in wars and engaged in all sorts of dangerous things. Women are convinced that it can cope better with pain, to prove that lead natural childbirth.
Now scientists have found a scientific like the answer to this question, which can complete a century of debate. Still higher pain threshold - Men. And they are much less likely to express their suffering and tears, cries, because they want to appear before others courageous people. Gender stereotypes requires men stoically endure any injuries, wounds and sores, keep a straight face. Women also have a right to shout and demonstrate greater sensitivity.
Pain specialist Dr. Osama Tashan invited 200 British and Libyan volunteers for the study. He subjected them to varying intensity of pain to determine the magnitude of the pain threshold. It was found that men endure more pain. They rarely complained about it and were inclined to endure even strong anguish, unlike women who are not afraid to appear weak.
In addition, the threshold of pain, as it turns out, is different not only between men and women, but also between people of different nationalities. The British could not bear so much pain, so much suffered during the experiment Libyans.
