Isn't it time we removed filth like this from the internet? Also a fictional act such as the one described herein is hardly "encyclopedic". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.63.147 (talk) 11:25, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No it isn't time we removed material like this from the internet, neither is it fictional.--feline1 (talk) 18:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Besides. oh IP user, Wikipedia is WP:NOT Censored for anyone. Even kids; don't like it? Don't look at it :) Thor Malmjursson (talk) 01:07, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to point out the Obvious. This person did a search to wind up on this page in the first place and apparently is interested in learning more about this "filth". I do have an issue with the page though, there is no section on the safeness of the act. Is there any risk of anal muscle injury to the fistee? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.116.149.212 (talk) 18:35, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fictional act...? I beg to differ. I have personal experience with fisting being a completely possible act... o.o Jcmcc450 (talk) 02:09, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fisting (sometimes called handballing -- why isn't that term listed in the article?) is potentially lethal. The inserter must have closely and smoothly trimmed nails that are thoroughly pared, and his or her hands must be extremely clean. A tear or puncture of the rectal wall could be fatal. There is probably little danger to the anal ring, though, as it can stretch a ridiculous amount when the insertee is thoroughly relaxed. If you don't believe this, rent some videos.

Updated to include reference from the book Trust, the Hand Book: A Guide to the Sensual and Spiritual Art of Handballing K8 fan (talk) 18:21, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad people can come to wiki to learn about these things. until today i didn't even know fisting existed. i would never do it though 65.183.212.114 (talk) 01:10, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The real-life images on this page are too obscene for Wikipedia. They should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.10.61.128 (talk) 13:38, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History of anal and vaginal fisting?

There should be a section in the article about the history of anal and vaginal fisting.

Changing image of male fisting

I there is a better quality image than File:Anal fisting being performed on a male.jpg to illustrate male anal fisting, and that is File:Self Fisting.jpg. It can also tie into including the possibility for self-fisting which is not currently covered in Techniques. Considering the current image is being partially obscured by large buttocks and is a poorer quality image, what are your thoughts on replacing it?

Seems better. Zenomonoz (talk) 03:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done, added a blurred version on commons Zenomonoz (talk) 05:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Pabsoluterince (talk) 07:41, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does it really need a citation?

"Double fisting can be done using three ways: By inserting two hands in the anus, two hands in the vagina, or one hand in the anus and the other in the vagina."

This is one of my added contents on the article. But it got deleted for lacking a citation. But does this really need a citation?! Aminabzz (talk) 17:06, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given the logistics and practicality of what is involved here, I'd say yes. HalJor (talk) 19:40, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citation clean-up

Hi @Chris Capoccia, thank you for your help cleaning up the citations. In glancing over the changes you made, it looks like they were mostly just minor formatting changes. However, there were two changes that I think merit discussion:

The Red Star Saloon image I retrieved in July 2024 is now behind a paywall / log-in screen. At the time I viewed it, it was titled "Red Star Saloon S.F." and its unique identifier in the archive was UC1STO551521. After your edits, it now simply says "Unknown." I think it would be helpful to re-add the name and unique ID, for reference. Do you agree? Or is the DOI sufficient?
Same question as above, except for the citation to "One Way" (which is still publicly accessible): should the name and unique identifier (UC12333964) be re-added? Or is DOI sufficient?

i went back and looked at the URLs. the one for Red Star had the wrong DOI, but also the crossref info is weird for both of these so Citation bot filled them out with "unknown". Anyway I picked better data. — Chris Capoccia 💬 00:00, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
