Same sensation, merely in different areas. Joel Send a noteboard - 07/01/2011 11:26:29 PM
Separating it from touch, or at least from a sense of pressure, then arguing that it's a different sense based on where it occurs is a bit like saying awareness of my socks is a different "sense" than awareness of my shirt. Just because pressure on the bladder alerts us to the need to urinate and pressure on the colon and rectum to the need to defecate doesn't make them different senses.
You wouldn't want to be standing up and then suddenly discover you were pooping, now would you?

Geez, how drunk was I last week...? :<img class=' />

If we limit touch to pressure, yeah, pain and temp have to be separated. Joel - 07/01/2011 07:04:05 PM 687 Views

I'm not sure how you can equate the feeling of pain with touch. Legolas - 07/01/2011 11:40:36 PM 667 Views
Because I think of pain receptors as being grouped with tactile ones. Joel - 07/01/2011 11:58:48 PM 864 Views
