Anal anatomy may not be the most glamorous topic but it’s well worth knowing your way around.<\/p>\n
The anus is made of two rings of muscle, and it\u2019s about 1-1.5\u201d (2.5-4cm) long. The external muscle is the first one that you would come to if you were touching somebody, inserting a toy, or a finger. This is skeletal muscle, which is the kind of muscle you can deliberately control. For instance, when you contract your arm muscles, you move your arm bones, which is why it\u2019s called skeletal muscle. Most people can squeeze and relax the external muscle.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The internal anal muscle is \u201csmooth muscle.\u201d This is the kind of muscle in your blood vessels, your organs, and in the iris of your eyes. It\u2019s controlled by the part of your nervous system that manages all the things you don\u2019t really think about much, like your heart rate or how fast you\u2019re breathing. That\u2019s important because it means that while you have some influence over it, you don\u2019t have control.<\/p>\n
For example, if someone tells you to take a deep breath, you can probably do that. But most of the time, you don\u2019t pay much attention to it. And if you\u2019re worried, it\u2019s a lot harder to take that deep breath because your nervous system is responding to the stress.<\/p>\n
The internal anal muscle does much the same thing. If you\u2019re worried, angry or stressed out, the pelvic floor and the internal anal muscle tighten up. It\u2019s the same reflex that makes a scared cat or dog tuck their tail between their legs. And it\u2019s the reason that someone who\u2019s angry all the time is sometimes called a \u201ctight ass.\u201d It\u2019s literally true.<\/p>\n
