Men report greater tolerance associated with a higher threshold in the presence of a female examiner - either a physician or a nurse; the opposite is true in women, whose pain thresholds drop when they are examined by attractive men, and hence their reports of higher pain levels.
En las mujeres ocurre todo lo contrario, ya que al ser examinadas por hombres atractivos sus umbrales de dolor disminuyen, reportando así más dolor.
