This is a problem I have with abyuse: The yukkuris will be undergoing some horrible fate and not even react to it as much as you would expect. They say yukkuris have a low pain tolerance yet a fully grown human man experiencing proportionately equal tissue displacement would be in too much agony to even do anything except, maybe, scream. This image is one of many where the yukkuris are horribly maimed and act like some kid who got their toy taken away...
It depends of the author, some yukkuris show way more agony than this marisa while being in the same situation and other yukkuris writhe in agony with even less stuff done to them. And yukkuris get in shock way more than humans, in fact their minds tend to break way more easily than any human, doesn't help that their psychology prowess is so bad that they get physically ill easily if they feel "unease".
Another thing to consider is that, they are made of dough and filling, humans are full of organs, nervous systems, muscles, etc. So we have more pain triggers, you basically would feel more stuff in pain in the same situation than a yukkuri would because each organ, muscle and vein have their own nerves ready to pang in pain when something happens.
Yukkuris aren't really more durable than humans, they just have less pain triggers out of being a simple lifeform, less pain triggers, less pain if stabbed through, burned, etc.
But again, it also depends of the authors, I had seen yukkuris agonize with way less because the author felt like it.
Regarding physical sensation... try imagining it like this :) The pain in human torture is like curry, it's complex with so many taste mixed together. The pain in yukkuri torture is like diving to a bowl of chilli, it's one-dimensional pure agony. But hey, their taste for food is also one dimensional.
As for the lack of reaction, yes they're more durable, and often the expression reflects that. But inside, they really perceive it as something big (their low tolerance)

Yeah, sometimes a yu can get a lil cut but they act like if they had their arm cut off or something. It's all part of their extremely weak psyche, as I said once, they were never meant for proper competition as in "life competition" like the majority of animals and creatures in the world are.

You're not thinking of it properly in terms of total size. How big is a 'lil cut' to you on an adult yukkuri?
No really, I'm talking proprotionally, a small cut for them and they whine and act like if they had lost a limb, not just a "cheek" long cut or anything.
It's rare to find a yukkuri stabbed slightly or cut slightly (in their terms) that doesn't break out in pain and tears like if they had lost an eye or something.
...yukkuris get in shock way more than humans, in fact their minds tend to break way more easily than any human, doesn't help that their psychology prowess is so bad that they get physically ill easily if they feel "unease".
Yes this makes sense as yukkuri are extremely emotional creatures in terms of behavior and drive towards actions, and thus, more susceptible to emotional damage leading to psychological destruction. Conversely, this would also make their pain reaction far stronger; suffering and the unpleasant feeling associated with injury of any sort is a subjective response mediated by an organism's emotions.
Another thing to consider is that, they are made of dough and filling, humans are full of organs, nervous systems, muscles, etc. So we have more pain triggers, you basically would feel more stuff in pain in the same situation than a yukkuri would because each organ, muscle and vein have their own nerves ready to pang in pain when something happens.

This... cannot be... I need to see them suffer the way a human would in this situation or more to satisfy me >:(
I understand that a human needs different kinds of pain to better assess the extent of damage because different injuries may remove different kinds of functionality from his or her body. Because yukkuri paste is multi-functional, that is to say, it is analogous to MULTIPLE human organs combined into one magical substance, it should feel pain that is analogous (in terms of human pain) yet all at once in one horrifically agonizing mix, like Salem said. This, combined with their highly emotional nature, would explain the yu's low pain tolerance (in that some works depict them having a strong reaction to seemingly minor wounds like zidana said).
Err... what I mean is that... Try this. If a writer feel the pain of human tortured, he can write long description of it. But if that writer feel the pain of yukkuri tortured, he'll probably just write one huge "PAIN" on spread page.
It's excruciating, but also "tasteless" (nothing to describe other than pain). It's also overcomed with the emotion of wanting to run away from that pain as fast as you can.

Okay, enough with that and lets try something more practical. Although creativity is boundless, most artist would find challenge in breaking the wall of trying to convey enough suffering through the face of comical creature such as yukkuri.
By small wounds I mean small pricks or how they over react when they hit themselves with something, like the famous "footsie pain" even if they don't get stabbed with anything or get a gash in their skin, yet they act like if their "footsie" got ruined.

Yes I understand that but this artist at least had some decent attempts at showing us more than the usual low-distress-looking "ich hurdz" while crying, such as http://yukkuri.shii.org/post/show/49957
Also despite all I said about the beanpaste bringing about a mixed yet, as you said, 1 dimesional pain, there's still the possibility of different pain triggers for organs such as the eyes, penipeni, mamumamu, anaru, base of hair, etc but ehhhhhh I don't feel like getting into that. I guess in the end the structure of a yukkuri's nervous system is up to the artist :\
Well a funny thing about eyes, peni, mamu, anyaru and even tongue is that yukkuris seem to react with more pain if you attack those than if you just pierce their whole bodies, even more agony if they are those yu's with paste core and all that.
