Pain resistance mechanism

A pain resistance mechanism is the ability of a person to resist pain as a result of a previous event that occurred , this shades the individual from furture pain. The experiences of the past build a wall of protection around the individual that strengthens his defences and prepares him for future occurances. And so he or she develops the ability to resist furture pain or trumatic events.

Such individuals heals faster in events that should ordinaryly pull then down in the furture. The mechanism is developed not deliberately but as a result of past experiences.

These individuals do better then others who have never experienced any issues in their life time.

Beatrice has a pain resistance mechanism, she almost had a near accident but was unaffected.

resistance

Testicles. Specifically, the resistance they provide during a pat-down of the crotchal region by a TSA agent-turned-baggage handler.

"We have to search up your thighs and between your legs until we meet resistance," he explained.
"Resistance?" I asked.
"Your testicles," he explained.
"That's funny," I said, "because 'The Resistance' is the actual name I've given to my testicles."
