The Extreme World of Fisting and Why People Love It

Anal and vaginal fisting is nothing new in the world of sex, but many of us are still unaware of what it is and the intense pleasure it can offer.

Fisting may seem like an extreme and unobtainable sex act best left to professional porn stars, but it can be enjoyed by anyone. Venture into the wonderful world of fisting, and we might just help you discover a new bedroom favourite.

What exactly is anal and vaginal fisting?

Despite popular belief, the ‘extreme’ sex act is not always performed using an actual fist. The basic idea of fisting is fitting as many fingers (usually 3 or more) into the vagina or anus as comfortably possible.

Usually performed with the fingers in a beak-like position, the fingers are slowly inserted into the person to stretch the anus or vagina and stimulate as many nerves as possible. Fisting, like any sex act involving stretching, takes time to build up to and can take multiple sessions for the receiver to get comfortable with a larger volume of fingers inside of them.

 

Why do people like fisting?

As mentioned above, fisting can stimulate a lot of nerve endings. Massaging the G-spot or P-spot can result in intense orgasms, and also provides the fister with the pleasure of feeling their partner’s body contract around their hand.

 

More people are into it than you might think –

Europe had a 36% increase in those who did fisting from 2019-2020.

 

As with any sex act, this sex act may not be for everybody. For some, it is another way to test their sexual limits by inserting their partner’s hand up to their wrist. For others, it may involve only 3 or 4 fingers and last only a short amount of time.

 Because the human hand is adaptable and easily controlled by the fister, fisting offers more unique stimulation than your standard dildo or butt plug. Fingers can be angled, spread, and moved to provide the specific stimulation the receiver wants, without the fear of going too large too soon.

 

Is it safe?

Fisting is often considered an extreme sex act due to the stretching of the anus or vagina during it. Generally, this sex act is low risk for contracting STIs and diseases, however, it can still be dangerous if not done properly.

Vaginal and anal tears can occur and can result in discomfort and a higher risk of transmitted STIs.

To prevent tears during sex (especially during fisting) it’s always best to:

• Ensure the fister’s nails are trimmed short.
• Use lots of lube to ease insertion and removal.
• Use a condom or glove to streamline the hand.
• Go slowly and work your way up to more fingers.
• Douche a few hours before anal fisting.
• If you’re using toys – never use the same toy for both anal and vaginal penetration.

Taking these steps helps to reduce the risk of tears and provides extra comfort so you’re free to enjoy that full feeling.

 

Can it loosen the vagina?
The short answer is no! Despite popular belief, the vagina is very elasticated and will not become loose due to fisting, using large dildos, or having a lot of sex. Since the vagina is designed for childbirth, it can stretch and return to its original size and shape even after the most extreme session.
