Sex and no pain

My BF slaps me hard during sex, but I never feel pain. Yet, any simple argument with him makes me cry. Why is this?

During sex, the body releases many chemicals that increase the threshold for pain sensation and heighten the sensations of love, affection, touch, and hug. Some of these chemicals are like opiates. That is why during sex you may not find pinching, spanking or pulling your hair painful.
