There's no taste buds in your asshole, either, but that doesn't stop it from burning when you shit out too-spicy food.
Anyway, Grav--the internet says black pepper is hot from the compound piperine, not capsaicin like chili peppers, and thus doesn't sting. Most note it has to be finely-ground pepper to really work, though, so my coarse kitchen stuff is probably useless.
