A member asked:
Is having a tight anal spinther the same as a tight pelvic muscle or are they two different things? thank you?

Different. Think of the muscles as donut shaped, designed to pull the area closed like a purse string. Two separate areas have a separate purse string. There are some shared background muscles, but the closure sequence & muscles difer for the separate areas.
