Fisting for Escorts: Part 1

By Rik Jammer, Palm Springs

I fuckin’ LOVE fisting. I love giving it. I especially love getting it. It’s my sexual passion. (It better be, see’n how it’s kinda my job!) Knowing how I feel about handballing, my buds here at HOOK asked me to write something about it. I tried to think of all the things I thought a sophisticated rentboy oughta know and came up with this article. Well actually this article and one more, ‘cause I got a lot to say.

What’s so great about fisting?

Well, if you’re a bottom and you like big cock, imagine yourself being stuffed with the biggest one there ever was, only this one can twist and turn and move and hit all your joy spots in a way that regular cocks can’t. Imagine being a huge, slutty party hole, desperate to be filled. Or imagine becoming your partner’s vessel: totally open, offering everything that you have, inviting him deep into your being. If you’re a top and you love butt, think about what it would be like to totally own your man’s hole, to fill him like he’s never been filled before. Think about stretching him till he’s wide and gaping and delirious, and controlling him from the inside. Or think about holding his heart in your hand and being connected in the deepest way you’ve ever been. Fuck, yeah!

Done right, fisting is one of the most intimate, spiritual connections that two men can ever share. To be able to offer and accept such a great gift is a life-altering experience. That’s why the act fills me with such passion and why I love to initiate new men into the fold.

What is fisting?

Simply put, fisting is the art of manipulating your man’s butthole with your fingers to produce sexual pleasure. (OK, you can do this with chicks’ butts and vaginas, but we’re not talking about that here.)

Now that’s not so scary, is it? I bet you already do this all the time. You may even do it to yourself when you’re bored. Well, what makes fisting ‘fisting’ is that a large part of (or your entire) hand makes it inside the butt. To me, that means four fingers and part of the palm. A purist would say it has to be a whole hand, but the way I see it, since you can produce many of the same effects with almost a whole hand, that counts too.

Most guys who can take a whole hand prefer it to be elongated and as scrunched together width-wise as possible, but some guys like to take it balled up like a fist. Hence the term ‘fisting.’ Most guys who are freaked out about fisting are so because they imagine how painful it must be to have some guy punching his way up their lil’ butthole. But that’s not the way it works (unless that’s the way you like it). Fisting isn’t supposed to hurt. It’s a sensual act, not a violent one. If you already know how good it feels to have a couple fingers up your butt, you’re well on your way to understanding how awesome it is to have a whole hand up there.

Myths about fisting

Once you get fisted, you’ll never be able to enjoy a regular dick again.

So not true. Yeah, I love getting fisted, but I love getting dicked just as much. They’re just different assplay flavors. Sometimes you’re in the mood for one. Sometimes you’re in the mood for the other. And sometimes you’re a pig and want the entire buffet!

Fisters have to wear diapers because their holes are so sloppy that they can’t stay closed.

Aw c’mon, my friend. Don’t you remember them saying the same thing about taking a dick up your ass? Your sphincter is designed to pass turds as big as a fist and snap back as tight as a drum, and it does. (That’s the street way of saying that there is no link between incontinence and fisting.) I can say, however, that experienced handballers do tend to be better at relaxing their asses than others. And by and large, I think that’s a pretty good thing.

Fisting is dangerous.

Unfortunately, there is a grain of truth here. If you’re with someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing or is really high (see below), you can get your colon perforated. This is pretty hard to do, but not impossible. The same risk exists when you play with dildos or put anything else up your fudge tunnel, but we don’t see people recoiling in horror whenever a studpuppy pulls out a rubber dong and wants to play bury the bone! The reality is that fisting is a game for educated adults who are in charge of their faculties.

You have to be really high before you can get a hand up there.

Give me a minute here to mount my high horse. OK, there.

Let me be absolutely clear: if you have to be really drugged up before you can get a hand up your hole (and I’m not talking about poppers), you have no business getting fisted. Period. If your body can’t handle a hand without a boost or an anesthetic, it’s telling you that handballing isn’t for you. And if you go ahead and do it anyway, you’re likely to get hurt. Bad. Let me tell you a story.

I was on a play date with this really hot couple that was majorly into tina. They each did a line and a booty bump and then one of them hopped into the sling and begged me to make him my sloppy whore-cunt. Well, that suitably seduced me. I love sloppy whore-cunts.

I gloved up and was slowly feeling my way through the territory when his lover urged me to pick up the pace. Then, with the lover’s help, the whore-cunt started bucking my arm, literally punching my way up his colon. Something didn’t quite feel right, so I pulled out. Gobs of bright red blood were dripping off my hand. They insisted that this was normal and that they would just switch places in the sling. It took me an hour to convince them that something was really, really wrong.

To make a long story short, whore-cunt had knocked a whole in his large intestine and had to be rushed to the hospital for colonic bypass surgery. He got to spend months collecting his shit in a plastic bag that was attached to a hole in his side while the diverted part of his colon healed. If we had taken any longer to get to the hospital, his leaking waste would have so infected the inside of his body that he would have died.

It drives me crazy when so-called experienced fisters try to seduce new bottoms into trying it by getting them really high. Not only is it dangerous, but if the newbie likes it, it creates this association between the pleasure and the drug that makes him think he can never have one without the other—which is just bullshit. Almost anybody, except those with (uncommon) tight bone structures, can get a hand in their hole. People have been doing it for centuries. You’ve just gotta overcome the mental block and practice with a patient, skilled top. And trust me, the journey is well worth it.

I don’t know much about handballing, but I’ve got a client who wants to get into it. What should I do?

Well, first thing, check in with each other about your experience levels. Be honest, because if you’re not, you’re likely to end up with one of those pissed off clients who starts posting negative reviews all over the web. If the client isn’t experienced and you’re not either, you’re better off referring him to one of your buds who’s good at popping fisting cherries (or bottoming, if that’s what he wants). But if he’s got a fair amount of experience under his belt and is looking for a top, he may be more interested in your über-studliness than your experience level. In that case, he’ll probably talk you right through it. Then all you need to do is familiarize yourself with safe fisting practice and go for it! And that’s what part two of this article will be all about.
