Seven Tips and Pointers

In my quest for an elbow-length insertion and beyond, I've learned the following things that are useful as the bottom in a fisting session:

1. Understand Your Biology.

Even though we are all humans, our anatomy and physiology vary greatly. The position and structure of the lower digestive track may be different based on ones' genetics, weight, body type, or surgical history. How a body processes pleasure, pain, stimulants, and digestion also affects fisting receivership. In order to go deep, one must get familiar with his body and adjust activies accordingly. This process will take time and can be assisted by a fisting coach.

Be patient! You will learn with every session.

2. Clean Up.

A common barrier to going deep is intestinal cleanliness. Concerns about the state of your colon may affect your mental ability to relax and open up for depth. There are several things you can do to eliminate this barrier:

• Recognize that shit happens! While the scent of fecal material is often the termination point of a fuck, it isn't necessarily the end of a fisting session. Tops realize it's sometimes the price of participation and are more understanding. Oftentimes, it's just another trip to the shower mid-session-especially based on the effort and time it takes to prepare for a session.
• Enjoy a long hot shower. A nice hot shower prior to fisting can relax your body and give you time to clean out. Remember that the simple clean-out for a fuck is not sufficient for a forearm--shit is the enemy of lube. Make sure the right tools for the job are available and sufficient time is allotted to accommodate depth cleansing (see Wash and Go).
• Manipulate your bodily functions. You alone understand how you process different foods. Some bottoms advocate fasting or liquid diets on the day of a fisting session. Others suggest controlling fiber content or may have no dietary restrictions at all.

  Avoid eating just prior to fisting session. New food in the stomach will start your digestive process by inducing involuntary peristalsis in the small intestine and mass movement in the lower intestine. As a final tip, some over-the-counter anti-diarrhetics, such as Immodium ID, can be used to temporarily stop movement of your digestive track.

  You may also want to urinate beforehand to prevent a hand from forcing the piss out of you!

3. Set the Atmosphere.

Controlling the environment around you affects your mental and physical capacity for depth insertions. While we all don't have a play room, there are some basics you can control such as linens, temperature, background noise, and interuptions.

• Bedding and Linens. If not sling fisting, it's smart to have a set of spare sheets dedicated strictly to fisting. This eliminates the worry of stains from lube on the bedding. Additional towels, light blankets, or blue-pads that are postioned underneath the bottom is helpful when using Crisco or j-lube as lubricant. Setting out fresh wash cloths (dry and wet), hand towels, and body towels prior to starting makes cleanup easier during and after the session ends.
• Temperature. Part of the pleasure sensations of depth-fisting is the warmth of an arm inside the colon. Setting room temperature to at least 75 to 80 enhances the overall experience by eliminating cold shocks. One of my best sessions was outside in the mid-summer, Southern heat. Although we were sweating like pigs, there was no body contractions due to temperature changes as we fisted. And of course, we were both pigs anyway, regardless of the sweat.
• Background Noise. Some prefer the soundtrack of porn or the vocalization of others getting fucked or fisted. Those sounds can biologically affect mood and increase willingness to go deeper than ever. However, classical music can relax the sub-conscious; thus allowing focus on the pleasure of each inch and the elimination of barriers to depth.
• Interruptions. Set a time and location where there are no interruptions from the postman, the gardner, or the husband.

An occassional, unexpected fisting in a grundgy dungeon or public location can also be arousing, but generally ends up terminating at shallower depths.

4. Communicate with Your Partner.

Unless he's a long term ffuck buddy, you'll need to direct him on position, speed, lubrication, and internal sensitivity. If he isn't willing to listen to your basic commands and instructions, he can't be trusted respect your limits. Your life is truly in his hands (or is it his hand is truly in your life?). Additionally, discussing and understanding his level of arrousal can also affect your level of arrousal and your ability to open up.

5. Grease the Machine.

See Lubrication.

6. Apply Mood Enhancers

Room odorizers (AKA Poppers) may have the ability to relax your rings and descending colon. Experiment with different brands and varieties to see if they work for you.

And... ...you can probably go shoulder deep on Crystal Meth, but you can't tell WTF has been ripped up inside you until you're in the hospital. It will lower your inhibitions and your natural ability to protect yourself. Avoid all of the alphabet soup when playing. See Full Sensibility.

7. Assume the Position.

Just like fucking, there are multiple positions that facilitate fisting and depth fisting:

• Sling. Inside a sling, you will most likely be on your back (supine). Your guts will reposition position themselves based on your anatomy and the angle of the sling. Tops will generally need to be on their knees or on a small stool if elbow depth is the desired goal.
• Doggie. The furniture used with this position will affect how the top enters your hole. If on a fuck bench, he may sit or kneel on the floor. If on a bed, it is usually easiest if the top is also standing, sitting, or kneeling on the floor.
• Bed (Supine). I find this one of the easier positions for depth, especially when your ass is at the edge of the bed and the top is kneeling or sitting on a stool. If your bed accommodates it, the top can fist you while he sits on the bed or lays on his stomach (prone).
• Squatting.This position works best off-mattress, for example on the floor, chair, countertop, or bathtub rim. It is also the easiest position for training for depth because the squat position realigns your bowels in a straighter path for stool elimination. The top should rest his elbow on the hard surface and let the bottom control the speed of entry and depth of the arm.

Of course there are many other positions one can use--experimentation is required to determine the best for you.
