Viking, within the rectum, where is that trigger point based on the following polar coordinates:
12 o'clock is towards the prostate
3 o'clock is the right hand side
6 o'clock is behind you
9 o'clock is the left-hand side
The reason I am asking is that in many people, the pudendal nerve and an anal nerve run at about that height by the rectum wall, and if bothered, pressing on them will produce a hell of a response.
But like you said, there are also muscles there. And I think that they can pull on the tailbone, which if rigid, will end up pulling the fascia back into the pelvic cavity, bringing the penis along with it.
penis shrinkage??

* Age:33 Onset: February 2004.
* 99.9% IMPROVEMENT in 2.5 Years with the first year being the really hard part
* Current Symptoms: Mild irritation of perineal muscles on occasion. Relieved for days at a time by a specific stretch (see below).
* Initial Symptoms: Terrible penile, urethral, rectal, and perineal burning/aching with addition afferent sensations.
* Current Treatments: Deep stretching of the legs and pelvis. Most effective: Deep psoas and levitar ani stretch using the first phase of the "pigeon pose" from Yoga. When a deep pulling is felt in the middle of the pelvis next to the upper rectum, symptoms are completely alleviated for several days.
* Past Treatments Hyperprotection of the perineum for 1.7 years, Walking, Rectal biofeedback, Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, Conditioned deep relaxation practice, Men's Multi-Vitamin and an Extra B-complex pill, all seemed to help.

I just want to comment on the comment about penis shrinkage.
Like I have made mention of in the past, stress is what triggered my problems. Just recently I had a panic attack, something I have never had before. I noticed that during this attack that my penis did change in shape a fair bit from what I would think to be normal to really small and flaccid, with little elasticity. Among that the colour changes it went through was something else, reds/blues/greys, once I was able to relax it began looking as normal as it could of looked. But also I have never given my penis as much attention as I have since being diagnosed with this, so for all I know the colours and shape sizes were always there.
I think that Webslave hit it on the nose with what the non-Westerners call Koro.
Try and relax.

Needadvice,
That's very true, and I agree.
During a panic attack and or latent anxiety several things will happen related to the flight or fight response. For one, your body will tighten the pelvis to prepare for combat. Secondly, boodflow to the intestines/pelvic region is decreased and is diverted to the extremeties (again, for combat purposes).
