I saw a post on the net about a self test. supposedly, if you squeeze the glans, your anus should pucker instantly. If there is a delayed reaction, there might be nerve damage. I tried it on myself and my anus didn't puker at all. No responce whatsoever. Has anyone heard of this self test?

When I first went to a urologist, he made me bend over and reached under my butt and grabbed my glans. Not sure what the result was but after he did that ( which was after I explained my 10 year struggle with ED), he prescribed daily Cialis. I now assume he saw my anus pucker.

Found this on Wikipedia:
Penile nerves function
Tests such as the bulbocavernosus reflex test are used to determine if there is sufficient nerve sensation in the penis. The physician squeezes the glans (head) of the penis, which immediately causes the anus to contract if nerve function is normal. A physician measures the latency between squeeze and contraction by observing the anal sphincter or by feeling it with a gloved finger inserted past the anus.
I have diabetic induced ED so it is likely I have suffered from neuropathy in the penis so I probably failed the test.
