    I find it interesting that your nerves and other receptors around your anus can only tell that something is there, but not how much (yes I know about the “taste” receptor). Sometimes I can strain and get a pebble, other times it feels like a pebble in an instant and the whole bowl is filled up. I wonder why there was no evolutionary reason to be able to sense the amount.

      You can sense the girth, but friction throws you off a lot. Something the size of a pea can feel massive (and very, very long), but it’s actually just not wanting to come out and taking its sweet time.
