Question 3

what causes a wet anus?

Accepted Answer

Sh*t + Fart = Shart: The anus is a rather remarkable muscle able to differentiate solid from liquid from gas. In fact, when healthy, one can pass gas while retaining stool. However, if you watch enough adolescent movies, you'll see scenes where someone loses control. Weight loss medication, orlistat, is well known to cause "oily spotting" &amp; inability to control bowel movement. if this doesn't answer your Q, write back

Nerves: There are specific nerves that sense pain at the anus, and these nerves communicate pain  back to the brain just as anywhere else in the body.
