Sexuality: Homosexuals and Fisting

Fisting involves the insertion of a fist and part of the forearm into the rectum. The homosexual euphemism for fisting is handballing. Shook et al.¹ provide a photograph of a homosexual inserting both his fists simultaneously into the rectum of another. Alternatively, two homosexuals may simultaneously insert one fist each into the rectum of a third homosexual.

At one time or the other, some private homosexual clubs devoted to fisting have existed in the U.S.A. Such clubs have fancy names such as M.A.F.I.A. (Mid America Fists In Action),² T.A.I.L. (Total Ass Involvement League),² and a Church known as F.F.A. (Fist Fuckers of America).¹

Inserting a fist into the rectum is not easy. Homosexuals use a combination of lubricants and drugs such as amyl nitrite, methaqualone, marijuana, LSD, mescaline, cocaine, wine, and other alcohols to get the job done; the drugs act as both muscle relaxants and aphrodisiacs.^{1, 2} Methaqualone and nitrites are among the chief drugs used by homosexuals because of their alleged aphrodisiac effects and facilitation of muscle relaxation to ease rectal insertion of fists or other large objects.³

Often, homosexuals introduce drugs into the rectum to enable rapid muscle relaxation. Homosexuals that introduce alcohol into their rectum, in the form of a wine enema for instance, learn fast that they can easily get drunk that way. Indeed, the rectal wall rapidly absorbs the drugs, which then enter the rectal veins. These veins drain into the inferior vena cava (a vein), thereby allowing the drugs to act more potently because the inactivation of some compounds that are unstable in the stomach and small bowel is avoided or substantially reduced and so is the liver first-pass elimination or detoxification of the drugs.¹ Rectal administration of drugs can be dangerous. Doss and Gowitt described the death of a 29-year-old homosexual resulting from rectal administration of cocaine by his partner.⁴

Having achieved fist insertion, the movement of the hand and arm within the rectum may continue for two or more hours.² Rest breaks may occur, but the fist is usually left in the rectum while the partners relax.¹ Fisting may occur in conjunction with sexual sadomasochism. Shook et al provide a photograph of a homosexual with a fist inserted in his rectum, a “cock ring” around the base of his scrotum, and clothespins applied to his inner thigh.¹

Fisting is associated with a variety of injuries such as mucosal lacerations, rectosigmoid perforations, and sphincter lacerations resulting in partial or complete anal/fecal incontinence (see here).⁵ Several homosexual women indulge in fisting, too.^{6, 7} In one study, 25% of a sample of homosexual and bisexual women had engaged in vaginal fisting.⁷
