How it happened, I don’t know, but a friend of mine and I were discussing (arguing?) about the muscles in the posterier region. In fairness to him, I won’t say who is of which opinion. One of us is of the opinion that there is indeed a muscle that you can close or tighten up your anus. The other of us believe that your spincter is naturally tight, and you don’t have any muscle to close your anus. In other words if you want to stop pooping, you just stop pushing.
We’ve agreed to let the teeming millions decide on this.
My anatomy book says it’s a muscle, the Spincter Ani Externus. It is a circular muscle which acording to the book , “under voluntary control contracts to close the anal canal and anus and thus prevent defecation.”

Tangent: One thing I heard … I think somewhere on this site … is that if you tighten up during every question of a polygraph test, you will defeat the test. This is because muscle stimulation will mess with a lot of the graphs, and mask any lying reactions you get during questions.

HUGS!

That was a cabaret artist named “Le Petomane”. “pet” is the french word for “fart”. He did an act around the turn of the century where he could imitate the chirping of birds, smoke a cigarette or blow out a candle.
His name was probably the inspiration for the governor in the movie “Blazing Saddles.”

The Algonquin Round Table was a group of literary and show-biz types who met at the Algonquin Hotel (in the 40’s, I think) to engage in sophisticated, witty conversation and drink a lot. Actually, after a few rounds your question probably would have fit right in.
‘…To make anal sex easier, one is often instructed to bear down…’
Ah, yes, I think that is called Visalvo technique or something. I read that men should bear down like this during sex to keep them from coming too soon. Although, I haven’t tried that & have not needed to
