Did you know that fisting is not allowed in almost all porn?… Production companies might skirt the line by allowing performers to use up to four fingers, but will often check to make sure the thumb stays out.To explain this, [porn producers and distributors] often point to the incredibly vague restriction on ‘obscenity’… Fighting obscenity charges can destroy a business even if you win, distributors and retailers have to guess what might be obscene and avoid it.”
—Tobi Hill-Meyer, pondering the marketplace bias against fisting videos, in a Bilerico Project post on International Fisting Day (October 21st).

and yet straight porn has an overwhelming number of outright sexually violent films glorifying rape, against-her-will group scenes, man on teen incest scenarios, and more.
i’m stunned. the “tone” of films is not called into question, especially with regard to violence, and yet gay porn retailers are really worried about a specific physical act? talk about messed up priorities.

International Fisting Day? =L

There seem to be fisting videos out there… and I’m not sure most gay men are really into seeing fisting. Personally, I don’t find it too sexy or a turn on at all. And I’ve got no desire or fantasies about doing it. But a few fingers, yes…. a totally different world as far as I’m concerned. No offense or judgement implied.

too bad barebacking doesn’t have the same status.

I can’t imagine its being particularly fun to watch, even for those who enjoy participating.
If there were a large market, they’d be willing to risk (or fight) obscenity charges to reach it.

Ditto.

Ugh to each their own ive never been interested in this specific thing.It looks like it hurts like a bitch for one and secondly it just looks ugh.As I said though to each their own if its someone elses pleasure more power to them .

I’ve always thought if it gets to the point of needing all that down there, a person has probably ignored several messages from fate telling them it was time broaden their interersts beyond sex.
Not only is it dangerous -don’t let anyone kid you it’s not- who wants to be so relaxed down there that there’s no longer sufficient tightness to pleasure another guy’s penis? After all, his fist can’t have an orgasm.
Rob
LMAO there are TONS of fisting videos out there.
There’s nothing illegal about filming fisting in porn even if it’s done by a professional studio.
I have seen a lot of fisting porn where they use their entire hand, arm, and go up to the elbow or shoulder. There are hundreds of them that do this. I have even seen fisting in porns where it isn’t the main event in the porn but yeah there’s a scene where it happens.
When a porn is made by a studio background checks are done and everyone that’s going to be in it or on film knows what is going on and this includes fisting porn.
I am not sure who Tobi Hill-Meyer is but he could have searched online and found tons of fisting videos made by professional studios and yeah you can even find Heterosexual anal and vaginal fisting videos. He’s talking out of his ass and being a total prude.
If we’re talking about amateur porn just go on Xtube and look at all the fisting videos you can find among all sorts of categories: Gay, bisexual, hetero, and even lesbian. I don’t like lesbian porn at all since it doesn’t turn me on at all but there’s even vaginal and anal fisting in lesbian porn and it’s not illegal and it’s done by pro studios.
I have even been to places that sell gay and bisexual porn like adult bookstores and porn stores and yeah you can easily find fisting porn in these places.
Fisting is NOT dangerous if you know what you’re doing and do it very slowly to someone. You don’t just shove your hand or arm up there and you work your way up to fisting someone with multiple fingers, and gradually longer and wider toys. It actually takes a lot of time and it’s not fast even if it’s edited in porn to be that way.
If you engage in any fisting both anal or vaginal sex make sure that the person is cleaned out, and that you are wearing gloves either latex or non-latex if the person is allergic to latex, make sure that your fingernails are cut, trimmed, and don’t have any sharp edges, and go VERY VERY VERY slowly with lots of lube.
No not everyone can take a fist. I am a fisting top and I can’t even take more than a finger at times when I have tried putting stuff up my own ass. I’ve never fisted a woman’s vagina but I have had some hot dreams about it and I have bisexual and hetero male friends who have fisted a woman’s vagina.
If you don’t like fisting or watching it done then don’t watch it. It’s that simple.
I get majorly turned on watching fisting but I don’t want to see what’s called a Rosebud, prolapse, or a blossom. Friends of mine who are fisting tops feel the same way and like to see a man’s ass or even a woman’s pussy get fisted but they don’t want to see a prolapse. I have other friends who are into fisting and they happen to find the prolapse or rosebud to be hot and that’s their thing.
Fisting is WAY more common as a sexual activity among gay and bisexual men and even heterosexuals than people want to admit and are willing to admit or think about.
There’s nothing gross or nasty about fisting. Like I wrote earlier, if you don’t like it or don’t want to see it then don’t watch it.
I personally find anal and vaginal fisting to be very hot so I will continue to watch it in porn, and I will continue to buy fisting porn DVDs.
What’s next, some hypocritical person claiming that consensual BDSM being filmed as porn as now being “too extreme”? *rolls eyes*
Zee
eww…Fisting.
Chad
Kurt, Fisting when done safely as described above is NOT EVEN CLOSE to barebacking and how dangerous BB/raw anal and vaginal sex is.
There’s such a thing as having safer sex, perhaps you have heard of it? Or have you been living under a rock for the past 30 years?
divkid
you’d need a whole lotta time on your hands… to get such a lotta hole on your hands.
too much like hard work…
really, who could be arsed?!
Dave
Fisting isn’t something I’d watch in porn, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be out there for those that want to watch it. I have far more of a problem with scat, but that’s out there, too. I at least understand how fisting can be pleasurable (but not why someone would want to watch).
Scott
Would fisting even be considered sex since it doesn’t usually involve a sex organ? What could ever possess someone to want someone’s arm up to the shoulder in their rectum/colon. Unless you gotta camera on the enda that thing, you ain’t goin’ that far up my chute.
Talk about sloppy seconds, if someone’s trying to get their dick in there later.
steve
I can barely even read comments about it… eww
Ogre Magi
Wouldn’t it effect how you poop?
j
@Ogre Magi: It would certainly effect your sex appeal. Goodluck finding someone who isn’t into fisting to touch that.
tmy510
gawd you people are sick.

Thanks for the re-post, but I must say that many of the commenters don’t seem to understand what exactly fisting is or how it works. Courtney Trouble just wrote up a bunch of misconceptions which most folks here could probably benefit from perusing: http://courtneytrouble.com/blog/the-truth-about-fisting/
The attached picture seems to be a part of the misconception. It does get the idea across quickly, however, that’s the way someone makes a fist for punching, not the way one makes a fist for penetration. An example of the later can be seen on the image attached to the article on Bilerico. Fisting is not punching. When done right it does not hurt. It’s just a matter of playing with someone who is really enjoying it and asks for another finger, then another, then another, until… oops, you’re out of fingers.
Tobi
Rob, we’re not in disagreement (I’m a ‘she’ by the way). I’m not speaking out my ass, but as a porn producer and a porn performer and as someone who’s done fisting in porn before. I’m not saying that fisting does not exist in porn, but that the vast majority of distributors and retailers refuse to carry it (I can qualify that as the ones that I’ve worked with or that other producers I’ve talked with have worked with).
All I’m saying is that it’s annoying as hell to produce an awesome scene that you’re really proud of and have a distributor insist you go back and edit out the fisting. I can’t fathom what of my perspective you could find prudish, so I’m going to assume that you are responding more to the commenters here than to me and simply projecting their opinions onto my own.
one finger please
i will never understand the appeal of fisting…just sayin…..
Joseph
Fisting to me is one of the grossest sex acts, gay or straight. And I think that alot of people feel that way.
JN
When did GLBT people become such sex negative prudes?
I can understand that anal fisting, or vaginal fisting might not be something you personally want to do but why trash on people who want to do it and practice it?
I personally find fisting to be hot but while I personally do not like rimming and find rimming scenes in straight, gay, and bisexual porn to be very boring and not a turn on I wouldn’t tell other people that rimming is “one of the grossest sex acts” or say that it’s very dangerous and simply shouldn’t be done if two or more consenting adults want to do it during sex.
If you don’t like fisting then don’t watch it. I fast forward through the rimming scenes in porn.
Yes porn can and does include fisting. I’ve seen it in TONS of porn both heterosexual, bisexual, and gay/all male porn. When I’ve seen lesbian sex in porn DVDs I have there’s fisting in those too.
Sometimes it’s in the extras on porn DVDs, and other times it’s in the porn and in the sex scenes and yes actually in the video. There are porn companies that specialize in anal fisting and those videos are pretty much all they make, produce, and sell a lot of.

I have been performing in professional porn for almost 2 years and I always try to talk the producers into filming a fisting scene. And they were always afraid to even film it. Not even for future web content. 😛
I have been fisted for years. Nothing wrong with going poop. Why? Because the act is amazing. To have someone’s hand entirely in my body… and they feel my heartbeat. The exchange of trust and power is incredible! It feels like the only way I can truly relate to when women totally give themselves over to men.

There is nothing natural about fisting, It’s just another form of self
Mutilation. I hope the pain is worth it because after a few years of it, you’ll be wearing adult diapers.
scott609
I don’t think that fisting has anything to do with sex, so calling someone a prude or whatever is ridiculous. I think some people just like to push the envelope (or colon) just to say that they are somehow liberated. I think all it does is make people think there is something missing in your sex life if you have to put an arm up your ass.
As a person who has had to have part of their colon removed surgically, I don’t think that area of the body should be subjected to any more stress than necessary. Trust me, when that part of your body stops working you’ll learn to keep your hands (fists, arms, elbows) off.
