It's not some intellectual matter to dissect. It's not that spicy food hurts less or tests better to me than to others but that I love the pain and the challenge and how far I can push my tolerance. The "not minding the pain" aspect. My limit is when it gets so spicy you spend the next 8-12 hours in pain like you drank acid. Find yourself a nice old thai place and make a special request "make me cry" and they will oblige. All good things hurt at some point.
