など無いも同然だった in this scene


narrator depicting a defloration scene

> 深々と肉棒の打ち込まれたAの股間からは、彼女がついさっきまで純潔だった事を示す赤い血が、傷口からあふれ出して太ももにまで垂れていた。
>
> しかし、Aの感じている痛みは、外からも見える傷口だけではない。むしろ苦痛という点では、処女膜が裂けた痛み **など無いも同然だった** 。
>
> However, the pain that A was feeling, wasn't only a outwardly visible wound,
> but rather the matter regarding her suffering was, without question, that
> there was was no pain from having her hymen split.

this is cannot be correct has she has already said that it hurts like hell,
but it is how this sentence seems to read.

Thank you




Where did that "without question" come from? ないも同然 is a set phrase that means
"virtually nonexistent". など here is similar to なんか, a way to make light of
something. The sentence implies she is feeling some stronger pain, which is
making her physical pain almost negligible.

> 処女膜が裂けた痛みなど無いも同然だった。  
>  The (physical) pain of torn hymen was virtually nonexistent _(as compared
> to her psychological pain)_.
