I asked my boyfriend if he got any strange sensations ever when he has to go (he DOES have IBS-like problems), and he looked at me like I was crazy until he realized why I was asking. I don't think I have any problems like IBS, so the whole sensation thing does make me worry that it is a sign of current damage and a precurser to larger problems down the line.

Thanks for bring it up, I was about to do the same!
