Fisting is a popular activity for those involved in the femdom lifestyle. To prevent any scratches or tears of the mucosal tissue inside the body, the fingernails of the person carrying out the fisting should be trimmed and filed. Ideally the fisters hands should be covered with latex gloves.
When practicing fisting, it is extremely important that the anus or vagina of the receiver be very well lubricated. The fisters should also ensure that their hands are also well lubricated. A thick water based or silicone based sex lubricant is always best especially when using latex gloves. Oil based lubricants can tend to weaken latex so these should be avoided. You may have heard of using mineral oil or vegetable oil for fisting but this should be avoided as it can cause the growth of harmful bacteria. Latex gloves should always be worn as fisting without them has been associated with the transmission of hepatitis A.
