not necessarily, immunity to pain might just nullify nociception or the sensation of disconfort generated in the brain, not the other forms of touch perception
I would take immortality if I could give it up voluntarilly, otherwise invulnerabilty

Right but there's more than just immunity to pain. I look at Superman, someone who can literally bathe in the sun's plasma without much if any discomfort and yet can somehow feel Lois's warmth. He can't feel a grenade exploding next to him yet when people tap him on the shoulder he can feel that clearly. It doesn't add up.
intensity of sensorial perception is logarithmic in nature: a 1000 fold increase in the intensity of the stimulus (sound potency), for instance, only causes a 10 fold increase in the intensity of the perceived sensation (perceived sound volume) - this is a real biological property of living organisms. SM's senses can make sense simply by operating the same way over a wider spectrum of stimuli
