Fisting: Technique, pleasure and the right hand position

Fisting is without question an incredible pleasure—but also a real challenge. One of the key factors is the position of your hand during the experience. But hold on—does fisting always mean shoving a full fist into someone’s ass? Nope! Most pros don’t just slam a clenched fist into your hole. Fisting is an art form with countless techniques, and a classic "fist fuck" rarely happens in its purest form. Especially in the beginning, the fist takes a back seat—most of the time, fingers glide in one by one. But don’t worry—we’ll show you the hottest hand positions to help you and your partner last longer and enjoy more.

The Classic: The Duckbill Technique

In the world of fisting, the duckbill position is one of the essential basics you should master.

Here’s how it works: Bring the tips of your pinky, ring, middle, and index fingers together and touch them with your thumb. From the side, the shape looks a bit like a duck’s bill—which explains the odd name.

The advantage of this technique: your partner can gradually get used to the stretch. Your fingers enter gently with the tapered tip, instead of blasting the entrance open with a sudden fist. This is essential for beginners, as the sphincter is often tense. A generous amount of lube—and optionally a relaxing anal spray—keeps everything smooth. And remember: don’t rush it! Take your time and enjoy the play.

From Duck to Fist: The Next Step

When looking at fisting toys, you’ll mostly find two shapes: duckbills and fists. So is it fist-fucking after all? Well, yes and no. The fist is involved, but it only comes into play once the anus is properly stretched.

Once you’re fully inserted with the duckbill technique, you can slowly curl your hand into a fist. The beauty of the duckbill is that you don’t need to adjust much—just fold your fingers inward, and the fist is formed. If your hand is already deep inside, there’s no need for additional stretching—you’ve already conquered the hardest part.

How Deep Can You Go? Fingers, Fist, or the Whole Forearm?

What exactly counts as fisting is up for debate. For some, it starts when five fingers disappear into the rosebud. For others, it’s only fisting when the hand goes in up to the wrist. And then there are the hardcore fisters, for whom the wrist is just the beginning—because deep fisting means going up to the forearm.

But be careful: the colon doesn’t just go straight up. The final stop before things get tight is the rectum. From there, the colon bends to the left—a fact you need to consider.

Tip for optimal angle:
- If you're fisting with your left hand, your partner should lie on their back. Your motion goes upward, toward their cock, before rotating your hand 90° to the right.
- If you’re using your right hand, they’re best lying on their stomach. You’ll then rotate your hand to the left to follow the natural curve of the colon.

This helps avoid resistance and creates a deep, but safe experience.

Double Fisting: Two Fists for a Hallelujah

Double the pleasure? When it comes to fisting, this is the ultimate challenge! But your partner needs to be well-prepared—two fists at once are intense, even for seasoned bottoms.

The trick is gradual progression:
1. Start with your right hand in the duckbill position.
2. Once you’re deep enough and the anus is well opened, bring in the second hand.
3. Let the left hand rest on the right, and follow gently, step by step.

Double fisting does have a hard limit: you won’t get past the sigmoid colon, as that would require at least one hand to twist unnaturally—which would be just as uncomfortable for you as for your partner.

Important tip: Always keep your fingers close together. Rogue fingertips can be unpleasant or even painful. So: stay in control!

Conclusion: No Duckbill, No Fisting

Whether you end up fucking him with a full fist or sinking in both hands—the duckbill technique is the key to success. It allows for gentle stretching and prevents injury from sudden or jerky movements. Only once your hand is securely in the rectum should you transition into a fist.

With the right technique and a bit of patience, fisting becomes not just intense but an unforgettable experience—for both of you.
