Fisting offers enormous feelings of pleasure through stretching and can be enjoyed by both women and men. A good preparation and a slow stretching is essential. It is important to use good protection and especially high-quality lubricants.
Is the whole fist really used when fisting?
Basically, this question can be answered with "yes", since fisting means fist intercourse. However, this does not have to be meant completely literally in every case. Also the insertion of several fingers or the stretched hand is generally already called fisting.
Especially beginners in the field of fisting should start small at first and gradually feel their way forward. While especially in the beginning often a few fingers are enough, you can gradually work your way up to the stretched hand or the so-called duckbill position of the hand.
Basically, every fisting lover must develop and get to know his own preferences. It remains important that the passive part remains relaxed and pain-free during fisting. The use of fisting lubricant is recommended in any case.
What should I consider as a fisting beginner?
Two factors are especially important when fisting. A relaxed atmosphere with a lot of trust in the active part and good fisting lubricant. Choose a comfortable and relaxed position in which you can optimally relax your abdomen.
For vaginal fisting, resting your pelvis on a pillow can provide the perfect positioning and relaxation.
Equally important is very good communication with your partner. After all, fisting should always be absolutely painless. So it is important to proceed slowly and pay attention to the verbal and nonverbal signals of the passive part.
Likewise, hygiene is enormously important during fisting. In any case, think about the use of disposable gloves. These hardly affect the sense of touch and sensation, but provide a much higher level of safety. The hands of the active part are also protected by the gloves.
Because the fisting lubricant could quickly absorb into the skin and thus make the hand rough and dry. So it would come in the worst case to pain during fisting. Therefore, gloves and good fisting lubricant are crucial factors for a relaxed experience.
What is the best way to start vaginal fisting?
Due to its function as a birth canal, the vagina is very stretchy by nature. Nevertheless, a slow and careful approach is also advantageous here. Take your time and increase the number of fingers or the pressure only carefully.
Also when fisting vaginally, you should always use fisting lubricant, even though a vagina provides moisture on its own. Only through a good slipperiness can fisting be properly enjoyed.


Ideally, you should start by using one or more fingers during extensive foreplay. This way you can not only promote the natural moisture of the vagina, but also already apply the first fisting lubricant. Now slowly increase the number of fingers or the pressure of your hand.
You should refrain from all jerky movements or the use of force. You can also use disposable gloves for vaginal fisting to prevent the skin from drying out due to the fisting lubricant and to make the act more beautiful and relaxed.


What are the specifics of anal fisting?
The number of potential risks is significantly higher with anal fisting than with vaginal fisting. This is due to the structure of the sphincter and the intestine and can only be countered by caution. Use here in any case again significantly more fisting lubricant and work even more slowly and carefully.
The great advantage of anal fisting, however, is that both women and men can take over the passive part. Thus, ideally, both partners can communicate with each other much easier and mark the boundaries more clearly.
Too vigorous or hectic movements can damage the sphincter muscle. This can lead to a so-called anal fissure - a tear in the intestinal mucosa. This can lead more quickly to an infection or even damage to the sphincter muscle, which can have long-term consequences.
Therefore, you should always proceed with absolute calm and relaxation and give yourself and your partner enough time. Because muscles are indeed enormously stretchable and can therefore adapt to a wide variety of demands, but must first learn what is required of them.
From the first attempt to successful fisting, quite a while can pass, during which the sphincter muscle must be gradually stretched further and further. As the sphincter muscle becomes accustomed to regular stretching, the comfort level during fisting also increases significantly.
The muscle relaxes more easily and the passive part can fully enjoy the tickle of the many nerve endings of the anus. Even orgasms are possible through fisting.
Should I empty my bowels before fisting?
We recommend emptying the bowels before both vaginal and anal fisting. During vaginal fisting, pressure can be exerted on the bowels, which can quickly lead to cramps in the woman. Relaxed fisting is then no longer possible in most cases.
During anal fisting, the bowel should be emptied anyway, since the irritation of the sphincter muscle triggers emptying pressure. So the game can quickly backfire.
Pain and cramping are not part of fisting, but a warning signal from your body not to overdo it. Listen to your body and take a short break. Use fresh fisting lube and gradually feel your way further. You will enjoy it when you feel a whole fist inside you for the first time.
