Sexual exploration offers unique sensations and experiences. One such practice is fisting, a form of sexual activity that involves the insertion of the hand into the vagina or anus. While it may seem daunting or unconventional to some, fisting is an intimate practice that many people incorporate into their sexual lives. Understanding what the art of fisting involves, how it is performed, and its safety considerations is important for anyone considering exploring this activity. In this article, we will delve into what fisting is and guide you through this new way to feel pleasure.

What does fisting mean?

Fisting is a sexual practice that involves inserting the hand, usually up to the wrist, into the partner’s vagina or anus. This act is part of consensual sexual exploration, often within a trusting and communicative relationship. While it may seem extreme, for some people, fisting is the best way to explore deeper levels of intimacy, pleasure, and trust. The term “fisting” comes from the shape the palm takes, resembling a fist, though in practice, the hand is usually shaped more like a duckbill to facilitate easier insertion.

Gay men mainly practice this sex activity but is as enjoyable for women. 

How do you fist?

The art of fisting requires patience, good communication, and, most importantly, consent from all involved parties. If you try fist fucking for the first time, you should start this new sex practice with caution. Here’s a step-by-step guide you should know about:

Communication and consent

what is fisting

If you want to start fisting, have an open conversation with your partner. Discuss boundaries, safe words, and comfort levels. Fisting should only be attempted if both people are fully comfortable and enthusiastic about it.

Preparation for fisting

Make sure that the receiving partner is relaxed. Start with plenty of foreplay to increase arousal, which can help with relaxation. Use a lot of good lube, as it reduces friction and makes the process smoother. You can opt for a water or silicone-based lube, don’t hesitate to re-apply if you need to. You don’t want to risk anal fissure. 

Did you know you can also use poppers for anal sex? Indeed, these small nitrite bottles work just like a vasodilator and relax anal and vaginal muscles for easier penetration. For this kind of sex practice, we recommend amyl poppers nitrite-based, the best strong nitrite on the market. 

Get the right position

The receiving partner should try to find a comfortable position if they want to relax their body. Common positions like lying on the back with legs spread or squatting help relax. The fisting partner should be in a position where they can move their hand easily without straining themselves.

How to begin?

Just begin by inserting one or two fingers inside the vaginal or anal cave and gradually add more as the receiving partner becomes more relaxed and comfortable. The palm should be shaped like a duckbill, with the fingers straight and close together. Go slowly and communicate throughout the process. The goal is not to cause pain but to feel sensations and pleasure.

Full insertion

Once the partner is comfortable with the fingers, continue to gently insert the rest of the palm. Take your time, and make sure that the receiving partner is fully relaxed and enjoying the feeling. Remember that fisting is about mutual pleasure, don’t rush.
 

During the act

Keep communication open. If the receiving partner is feeling any discomfort or pain, stop immediately. Fisting can be an intense experience, so it’s crucial to make sure that it remains pleasurable for everyone involved.
 

Withdrawing the hand

When finishing, gently and slowly withdraw the hand, reversing the process used for insertion. This can help avoid discomfort or injury.

Is fisting safe?

The primary danger of fisting is physical injury. The inside of the vagina and anus are delicate tissues that can tear or be damaged if fisting is done too forcefully or without sufficient lube. To minimise this risk, always go slow, apply plenty of lube, and listen to your partner’s feedback.

There is a risk of introducing bacteria into the body during fisting, particularly if the fisting partner’s hand is not clean or if the act involves the anus, which has more bacteria. To reduce the risk of infection, thoroughly wash hands before fisting and consider wearing fisting gloves. Using a new glove or thoroughly cleaning the hand before moving from the vagina to the anal area or vice versa is crucial.

But if you take your time and discuss, all should go well. Fisting is an incredibly good sex practice when done correctly.
