Distribution of warm sensitivity over woman skin was investigated using Thurstone's paired comparisons method on 10 healthy female students. An iron probe 20mm in diameter and 108mm in length was used for the simulator, the temperature of which was adjusted at $40{\pm}0$. $5^{\circ}C$ in a warm water bath. Twenty-two parts on the left side of the body were examined. Warm sensitivity was significantly different among the body segments, that is, higher on the face and trunk and lower on the upper and lower extremities. The correlation coefficients between warm sensitivity and the warm spots were significant in posterior.
