'Fisting' is a method of penetration into the vagina or (rarely) anus that is rather disturbing...it consists of the partner balling up a fist and shoving it completely up and inside the vagina (or anus). It is considered a fetish because it can be extraordinarily painful, and generally the recipient of such a technique is usually turned on by pain, or is so frequently inserting objects into themselves that the opening has become wide enough to allow somethign as large as a fist to enter. Fisting does not only incorporate the fist, as the insertion can go further, in some cases up to the forearm. Fisting is usually seen in fetish and bizarre porn and is not a recommended sexual practice by any means...it goes without saying that the consequences can be life-threatening. However, strangely enough, many people find it an enjoyable alternative to regular intercourse. For a person to be fisted, it usually takes a long time of preparation, because no opening is naturally large enough to take an object that large. However, since women naturally expand and contract as they give birth, the action of fisting is essentially the reverse of giving birth...the interior of the vagina expands as the fist goes further inside. Again, its an unusual sexual practice that isn't really recommended, but many people enjoy it. There are books available, even on www.Amazon.com and www.bn.com, that are devoted to the 'art' of fisting and how to safely and efficiently do it.

Actually, fisting is a method inwhich the hand is slowly inserted in the anus(gay)and rounded into a fist. While inside, the fist is used to stimulate the prostrate; producing an incredible sexual experience. There is no forcing of the hand into the anus, and little to no pain. If you are trying this for the first time, there maybe some discomfort. That is why lubrication is extremely important and necessary.
