Both have slightly different effects, but together, they contribute to that sense of relief. The pudendal nerve controls movement and sensations in the pelvic area, including the anus and genital muscles. When stimulated during pooping, it leads to arousal and pleasure. The vagus nerve transmits signals from the digestive system and other organs to the brain and back. When you poop, muscles in the buttocks and pelvic region relax. This stimulates the vagus nerve, which can make your heart rate and blood pressure go down, leaving you feeling relaxed for a short time.\n
