The perineal reflex is usually referred to as the anal reflex. A noxious or tactile stimuli will cause a wink contraction of the anal sphincter muscles and also flexion. The stimuli is detected by the nociceptors in the perineal skin --> to the pudendal nerve, where a response is integrated by the spinal cord sacral segments S1-S3.
