Many people have heard of fisting, also known sometimes as handballing, where the entire hand of one lover is inserted into the orifice of another. Vaginal fisting is of course where the entire hand is inserted into the cunt or pussy or vagina, while there is also anal fisting which involves inserting the whole hand — or even much of the arm — up the asshole.
Fisting can seem to one like a much more extreme sexual practice than it truly is in reality. For one thing, the practice is associated largely with sexual extremism or at least with lesbians and with gay menÂ… for vaginal and anal practices respectively. One may also imagine that fisting causes terrible damage, causing huge loose gaping vaginas or assholes that can never tighten again or be enjoyed by others as they were before. Of course, one would have to wonder then why these practices are so common if so.
First off, fisting can be very safe. Tightness returns naturally to these orifices which are used to being stretched for various reasons. In any gender, it is a great idea to practice kegel exercises in order to strengthen the pelvic floor muscle that is responsible for tightening.
The next thing to know is that fisting is a sport that involves a lot of patience and a lot of lube. Getting a good personal or sexual lubricant for the job is crucial — a nice thick one which lasts a long time will help a lot.
Next up, one should consider gloves for use in fisting. Latex gloves or non latex gloves for those with allergies, are a great choice. They add smoothness to the entire experience and retain lubricant much better — this has the double benefit of making it easier to fist someone but it also adds to clean-up, preventing santorum and other residue and it can also add to the pleasure of the recipient who may very much enjoy the slick texture. Skin has a tendency to pull in unpleasant ways sometimes.
The most important thing in fisting is to go very slow. Gently begin by fingering the pussy or asshole and then gradually, slowly, adding more fingers. Always be sure to reapply lubricant frequently, even with vaginal fisting one needs to be aware that one’s fingers will be blocking the flow of normal vaginal lubrication!
