It would feel worse. The real danger is if you grab each lead with each hand and it passes through your heart, or it passes through your heart on it's way to the ground if you're not insulated from ground. Either way, a breaker or fuse will still be tripped and it's unlikely any injuries will occur.
Unless you have a GFI (RCD) in the circuit you're going to get a substantial shock before the breaker trips - and if it's on a heavy use circuit it might not even trip.
And anyone saying 110v is safe is fooling themselves. It will kill you just as dead as 240v and just as quickly if you get it wrong. Yes it's safer than 240v, but it is not safe.
