    I can handle 7 for quite a while. Above that only brief periods.

    Pretty high, but after a while, I need to take a couple of Advil.

    Fortunately I can say I haven't had too many physically painful experiences to even gauge. (Emotionally may be a different answer --  ha!)

    :)

    Well awhile back I got swarmed by a street gang in Vancouver - I probably got kicked and punched 100X but didn't cry so I think my pain tolerance is pretty high. Cheers!

    It depends on your calcium intake. Take a calcium pill with every meal and you can withstand a sore tooth until you get ready to take care of it.

  • Fairly low tolerance. I don't tend to complain about pain, but that doesn't mean I'm not sensitive to it.

    Sometimes I groan in the anticipation of pain. Low.

    Low tolerance- I've been told this by a nurse who changed my bandage dressings when I was healing after a surgery one time. And my wife says I'm dramatic every time I'm ill also. lol

    I think my tolerance for pain is pretty good.  When I was quite young I read an article that was saying Eskimos actually enjoy pain -probably not true- so I thought if Eskimos can enjoy pain so can I. My brother and I were going to the dentist quite often at the time probably because we never got into the habit of using a toothbrush and our dentist was an ancient guy who never used anasthetic. I psyched myself to endure pain of the drill or a tooth pulled but not really to enjoy pain. One time his drill hit a nerve and that really stung but only for a few seconds. He was cheap too -I remember my dad handing him a dollar for a tooth pulled.(this was during early fifties).
    A project I was doing a few years ago required I use a lot of boiling water and sometimes I got splashed on the legs, painful but lasted only 5 or 10 minutes but made me wonder how it would feel to be burned at the stake. If I was burning at the stake I would try to inhale the hot gases as deeply as possible so to quickly go unconscious and die but then I would at least have that off my bucket list: to see what it is like to be burned alive.

    This bullet-ant ritual is supposed to be an 11 on the scale.

    The  site says to complete the ritual the boy has to put his hand in the bullet-ant glove 20 times. WOW! 
    I think i'd rather do that than be kneecapped though.

    Physical pain is not fair.

    Physical pain is applied to our sense of touch/feel; one can also be tortured via sense of hearing by terrifying,  awful sounds that could make you lose your sanity,  or visual torture so horrifying that you might want to tear your eyes out or smell/taste so awful you puke your guts out literally. 
    I think I would prefer physical pain -it's nicer.
