The world of fetish is about expanding your limits both mentally and physically. There are a variety of ways to accomplish both. Some people choose to immerse themselves in the BDSM lifestyle while others just add spice to their sex lives by incorporating acts like watersports and leather into their sexual repertoire. Still there is one fetish that is considered too extreme even for those who live the life 24/7, and that's fisting.
Fisting is a sexual activity that occurs when the hand and forearm are inserted into the anus. This is an act that must be performed with extreme caution, as there are several potential health risks that must be taken into consideration. However while many stories will lead you to believe that fisting is unnatural it is actually quite the opposite. As long as it is done with gentleness and care the anus is quite capable of safely accepting large objects. When done correctly fisting can be a physical and psychological experience unlike anything you've ever experienced.
There are many things to consider if you're interested in fisting. First and foremost you have to exercise patience. The anal cavity is a muscle and like every other muscle it is very capable of expansion. For years surgeons have easily dilated a person's anal muscles to perform surgery. This same theory is applied to fisting only here it is done purely for pleasure and not medical purposes. If you're considering being a fistee, don't rush it. Set your own pace; it may take months or even longer until you are ready to take on a fist but only you can decide that. You should never feel pain. If you do then you are not ready. Never let anyone talk you into taking on more than you're ready for. The feeling of something as large as a fist is indescribable and for a first timer it may be difficult to know if the feeling is pleasure or pain. Trust your instincts. Over time these feelings will be easier to tell apart and your comfort level will increase.
For those doing the fisting the responsibility is just as great as those on the receiving end. The act of fisting is more intimate than any other and so a fister should take the proper steps. A fister's fingernails should always be trimmed and filed if they choose not to use latex gloves. That will prevent scratches or tears of the anal cavity. A fister should take cues from his partner and stop all movement when necessary. Always remember that removing the fist is just as intense as inserting it. Even though your partner may feel like he wants your hand out as soon as possible never quickly pull it out as this could cause great damage. You can control removal by taking deep and slow breaths. Remember it is all about feeling pleasure.
Unlike other fetish acts fisting truly requires both of you to act as one. Through breathing and listening to each other this can be easily achieved; of course lots of lube also helps. Both of you should be heavily coated with a thick water-based or silicone-based sex lubricant. If you're going to commit to such an intimate act, also commit to protecting each other on all levels. In the case of fisting this is done through the use of latex gloves. Fisting without gloves has been associated with some sexual transmitted diseases like hepatitis A and C. Fisting is intense enough without the added risks so always be prepared.
