Definition: The insertion of the hand and/or arm into the anal/rectal cavity.

Why do It:
1. Feelings of closeness between top (fister) and bottom (fistee).
2. Incredible sensations for both top and bottom (pain games)

Myths Expelled
It is absolutely possible
It won't kill you


How to:

It is quite feasible for a newbie to go straight into a fisting if they are aleady pyschologically prepared for the event. Some Tops, however, might prefer to "train" by getting the fistee to wear butt plugs and increasing the size of butt plug over the weeks prior to the proper fisting. This can add a feeling of anticipation and help in the psychological preparation.

Preparation
1. A clean rectum
An enema is recommended about 30mins before fisting is attempted, some also fast 12 hours previously

2. Lubricant - KY is suitable although Liquid Silk/Boy Butter is much better

3. Latex examination gloves (double pair). Always use gloves as infection is a risk as some blood is inevitable as well as faecal matter

4. Short nails for the top
The anal cavity although stronger than most guides will suggest can be punctured via sharp objects. Trip to the hospital will result.

5. Poppers (Amyl or Butyl Nitrate)
These can be very helpful in relaxing the fistee's demeanour and certainly add to the experience, there is some anecdotal evidence to suggest it helps relaxes the anal opening (sphincter muscle).

Note: Poppers were originally designed to help people with Angina (Heart Disease) and the following precautions should be taken: a) they should not be used if the parties have heart or circulation issues, b) If there is decreased lung function, especially in the fistee, then they should not be used as they affect the bloods ability to carry oxygen.
If the fistee uses an inhaler they are definitely not to be used and if an asthma attack commences the reliever (ventolin) will NOT stop the symptoms although a joint (cannabis) will alleviate the symptoms.

6. Positions
Whatever is comfortable for the fistee. Personally I find it easier if the fistee is on their back but on all on fours is also quite common. The fistee must be comfortable and able to relax is the only rule.

Getting in:
1. Lube up both hand and anus
2. Start with one finger, gently teasing the muscle to relax, then add fingers slowly until all five fingers are accepted with no severe discomfort.
3. Slowly start to push the whole hand (fingers extended, thumb tucked across palm) inside feeling with your fingers the contours inside, it is quite common for there to be a change of angle (towards the spine of the fistee) as you start to move in. Note the base of the hand is the largest part and the fistee will start to experience the more extreme sensations, some encouragement/a sniff or poppers to the fistee may be required in order to relax - If you are determined to get in, then this should be ignored because providing the hand is lubricated then no damage will result (if you have already got all five digits in) and its just the final stage and once to the wrist, the sensations will abate.
4. Once in then its what ever seems appropriate, its quite common to close the hand up into a fist up and start gently up and down movements (getting more rapid as the fistee learns to accept) or to turn the hand while inside (this can be painful).
5. To Withdraw, hand should be opened (fingers extended, thumb tucked across the palm), and as before the base of the hand is the hardest part for the fistee (so again encouragement/poppers might be appropriate) and slow withdrawal is the order of the day.




Danger signs

Fisting is edge play in that serious injury can result. If the following physical signs are observed then the play should stop/be re-evaluated. Also damage may not be apparent so after the fisting session the fistee should be warned to watch out for the following after symptoms in the first week following the fisting. Although the below may seem worrying its very rare.

During session
1. Popping sensation especially when already inside and moving around.
2. Blood - some blood is expected, but a glove covered in blood or blood seeping from the anal opening means a tear and activity should stop.
3. Breathing difficulties (especially when using poppers).

Post session (Post 24hrs and within 1 week)
1. Stomach or abdomen cramps post 24 hrs after the session that does not abate.
2. Abnormal Temperature
3. Shock symptoms (note it is very common for shock symptoms to be observed during or immediately after the session this should not cause undue concern.

After Care

Do not attempt to put anything (butt plugs, creams, anticeptics etc) into the rectum after the session as it will be too raw.
Go to A&E if there are stomach cramps a high temperature or anything abnormal in the post-24hr to 1 week of the fisting.
Issues post 24hrs are of concern under all circumstances. Small tears will heal with no real problem (it just looks scary)

Long Term Effects

From what I gather from the web and a surgeon friend of mine a lot of the long term effects depends on the type and frequency of fisting.

If done safely and infrequently (1 per month seems to be the general opinion for this) no long term negative effects appear to be likely. If not done safely then incontinence is a risk.
Primarily if there is regular trauma (i.e. tearing regulary - you run a higher risk in the long term).
The point my surgeon friend made was this - its like having a baby - the muscles are designed to expand to cope with it - do it too much or have excessive trauma then you'll have problems later.

However this article extract may be helpful, although it talks about constipation the points it makes are similar to the effects of fisting

"Constipation causes the muscles of the anus and intestines to stretch and weaken (the anus is the opening through which stool leaves the body). The weakened muscles will prevent the rectum from closing tightly, thus resulting in leakage of stool (the rectum connects to the anus). Weakened intestinal muscles will also slow down the bowels, making it difficult to pass stools and further worsening the constipation.

Chronic stretching of the anal and intestinal muscles can also make the nerves of the anus and rectum less responsive to the presence of stool in the rectum.

The ability to hold stool and maintain continence requires normal function of the rectum, anus, and the nervous system. Additionally, the person must possess the physical and psychological ability to recognize and appropriately respond to the urge to defecate."

Other symptoms - stools are likely to become larger with more girth as the rectum has been stretched.

Safety:

Occasional gentle fisting, where a lot of lubricant is used and the hand is inserted gently, is very unlikely to cause problems. Punch fisting (where the closed fist is inserted and rapidly inserted and withdrawn) or insufficient lubrication is likely (long term) to damage the ability of the anus and rectum to work effectively.

Note: It should be mentioned that non-gloved fisting is very risky for both due to HIV, hepatitis and other blood contamination risks etc.

On a personal note - I have been doing this for over 10 years with no bad effects apart from increased size of stools.
