i got one while i was on a very long tier 3 support call. i couldn't shake it. i kinda had to stand up at my desk and do lunges.
fairly weird. not the first time either.
while searching for the actual name of the muscle within my taint i found this
The bulbocaverosus reflex is a polysynaptic reflex that is useful in testing for spinal shock and gaining information about the state of spinal cord injuries (SCI). The test involves monitoring [anal sphincter] contraction in response to squeezing the (head) glans penis or tugging on the on an indwelling Foley catheter[1]. The reflex is spinal mediated and involves S1-S3. The absence of the reflex without S trauma indicates spinal shock. Typically this is one of the first reflexes to return after spinal shock. Lack of motor and sensory function after the reflex has returned indicates complete SCI. Absence of this reflex in instances where spinal shock is not suspected could indicate a lesion or injury of the conus medullaris.
yikes
