small thing (not the thumb, the one next to it)goes easily into external anal sphincter but only the first 1 cm of it goes easily, and then it becomes so hard when it reaches internal anal sphincter.

Hi
Welcome to Health Care Magic

This is Very Normal as the Internal anal sphincter is usually harder, except if u used some lubricants as KY Jelly or others to introduce the pointer finger.

Thanks
