My first thread, so be kind.

Since visceral sensation is limited to pressure and pain, and the beginning of epidermis is past the external anal sphincter, how do you know the difference between flatulence and feces before it is passed the point of no return?

Simple. Quick increase in pressure vs. long and sustained. You gotta factor in time. 😉

you can never be too cautious, though. sometimes one can become to confident that they are going to simply pass gas, but a fecal surprise follows.

Is that why your screenname is Bad Ass. Seriously, you've really gotta pottytrain yourself 😉

Doesn't viceral also detect stretch? I would think the stretch from some air would be a lot different and smaller than from feces.

Also, the pressure from air is constant on all the receptors. The pressure from feces is almost constant, but I bet your body can tell it's a solid from the fact that it's not a perfect circle.
