Since everyone whom is posting on this is in a very light-hearted mood, you should probably
know that many ER doctors use 'the anal wink' to evaluate the patency of the spinal cord in accident victims with lower limb paralysis...By inserting a lubed gloved finger into the anus and tapping either of the male glans or the female clitoris, this autonomic reflex is a cardinal sign that the spinal cord is still patent to the pelvic region.
Care is taken not to vegelly stimulate the area as it not only increases the chances the patient to vomit and aspirate but also increases intracranical pressure...Heres a wink for you...LOl
