October 21st is International Fisting Day, we thought we’d take the time to explain one of more commonly misunderstood sexual acts \u2013 so let’s plunge right in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is Fisting?<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re just starting out, it\u2019s almost more important to start with what fisting\u00a0isn\u2019t<\/em>; namely, it isn\u2019t making a literal fist and shoving it into someone. (Hey, we love\u00a0sexy euphemisms <\/a>as much as the next person, but they sure can make things confusing!)<\/p>\n

Fisting is the act of putting your whole hand into someone\u2019s vagina (or anus), but rather than using a fist, you actually use more of an aerodynamic, fingers-pressed-together shape. Try making a duck head with your hand and then straightening it so it’s straight in line with your arm. l<\/p>\n

Is that all there is to it? Not so fast\u2014literally!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fisting is a much, much more delicate art than the name would suggest. In fact, if you\u2019ve been frantically and secretly Googling advice on fisting, you\u2019ll have found out that a lot of people describe fisting as one of the most intimate sexual acts there is, and rightly so; when done correctly, it can provide some mind-blowing pleasure\u2014but it requires a lot of trust, and even more patience.<\/p>\n

How Do I ask My Partner to Fist Me?<\/h2>\n

Fisting is one of those sexual acts that a lot of people joke about, and even more people assume only niche adult actors<\/a> are willing to do, never mind enjoy it. However, as more and more sexual taboos are becoming, well, less taboo, you\u2019ll learn that a lot of those sexual acts you\u2019ve taken to be punch lines are actually something that a lot of people get down to. Remember, never yuck someone\u2019s yum, even if it\u2019s not your thing!<\/p>\n

That being said, fisting is, at least anecdotally, more popular among women who sleep with other women\u2015though of course that doesn\u2019t mean you should jump into your first girl-on-girl encounter\u00a0<\/a><\/u>with fists-a-flailing, because it certainly isn\u2019t for everyone.<\/p>\n

The key to fisting\u2015and indeed any sexual act\u2015is to communicate clearly<\/a>. If you want to be on the receiving end, it can be as simple as using your own hand to guide your partner to insert more fingers while fingering you, or straight up ask.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re worried about fisting being \u2018bad\u2019 for your vagina; keep in mind this is the same part of your body that is designed to let an 8+ lb human through it and in fact, will expand to about 200% of its original size when you\u2019re properly aroused.<\/p>\n

You can give yourself some practice with larger toys if you like, but as you\u2019ll see in your guide below, full arousal makes all the difference when it comes to trying fisting for the first time!<\/p>\n
