Is fisting safe?
Question: My husband and I have great sex. We have had 3 kids together and recently he fisted me. I want to know if this is dangerous to my body or if it is similar to childbirth and my vagina will shrink back to normal? What about internally?
Answer: "Fisting" means different things to different people--anything from more than one finger in the vagina to the whole hand, and once it’s in there, the hand possibly balled into a fist. I'll assume you mean the whole hand and fist because my comments also apply to anything less. IF you're truly willing, and IF both your vagina and your husband's hand are well lubricated, and IF his fingernails are clipped short so he doesn't scratch your vagina, and IF he proceeds very slowly, inserting one finger at a time, thumb last, and IF he forms a fist inside you very slowly, and IF he doesn't push his fist in too far, then fisting is safe. Is shouldn't harm your vagina. Your vagina should revert to normal size afterward, just like most--but not all--vaginas do after delivering a baby. But generalizations only go so far. Be sensitive to how you feel. If you notice any bleeding, or if things seem weird after fisting and doesn't revert to normal within a day or so, then you might want to back off, and ask your husband to stop at four fingers (no thumb) and no fist.
