Fisting and staying healthy? You can engage more deeply and relax better if you know the risks and systematically eliminate them. The worst thing about sex is that it exposes you to all kinds of health risks. Let’s be frank. Since it has become clear that combination therapies work and that HIV-infected men, who often thought they could foresee the end of their lives, suddenly feel healthy and vigorous again, we have been able to talk openly about this; The new medicines enable them to live a fulfilled and carefree life, mostly without side effects. Unfortunately, HIV is not the only pathogen that can be contracted during sex.
Fisting and stay healthy
There are many other diseases that can be contracted, e.g. chlamydia, crabs, hepatitis A, B and especially C, herpes genitalis, coli bacteria, syphilis and gonorrhoea. We will spare you the symptoms of these diseases, because you are better off seeing a doctor if you notice things on your body that don’t belong there (discharge from body cavities, irritation of the skin, unusual pimples or blisters, noticeable discolouration of your faeces or urine). By doctor, we mean one who is experienced in gay sex practices, because a doctor in the woods and meadows can be nice, but might not think of gonorrhoea from a sore throat … There are only two possible side effects of fisting healthy that we would like to discuss in more detail:
Intestinal incontinence
We have already written that fisting doesn’t have to make you incontinent. If you follow the rules of the game and the natural limits of your sphincter muscle. So no negative consequences are to be expected. On the contrary, if you learn to stretch carefully, fisting is more likely to help you control your sphincter muscle.
Genital Warts
In tabloids, it’s often reiterated: The virus causing genital warts can lead to cancer. HPV (human papillomavirus) is highly contagious, with 90% prevalence in a Berlin study of 25-year-olds. Risk increases with multiple partners, particularly among men who have sex with men and those on immunosuppressive medication.
Most people’s immune systems handle HPV without symptoms. According to Dr. Stefan Esser, head of the HIV/STD clinic at Essen University Hospital. Only about 5% show signs like genital warts or lesions, which can lead to cancer. There are currently around 150 HPV types. With about 30 targeting the pubic area or mucous membranes, including 10 linked to cancer.
You can be vaccinated against HPV 16 and 18. HPV 6 and 11 can cause genital warts. These are not dangerous but very unattractive. You can also be vaccinated against these two. And there is now also a combined vaccination against all four types. HPV is transmitted through skin flakes and blood, which is why it is difficult to protect yourself against it. Condoms only cover part of the skin involved in sex. After vaccination, 85 to 90% of people are immune to these viruses.
Only a few actually develop symptoms – and they do so slowly and on the surface of the mucous membrane that they can be removed during regular examinations before they penetrate deeper layers of the skin. PS: Fisting causes skin flakes to be transported from the anus deep into the intestine. So the fistulae can develop symptoms (genital warts, cancer) in these areas.
This is how you reduce the risk of infection
If you follow these guidelines, you will reduce the risk of infection to a minimum.
For the active
- Always use gloves.
- Push your hand only as far as the end of the glove inside the other.
- If you want to bring your cock into play, protect it and yourself with a condom.
For the passive
- Avoid getting fisted in public.
- If you still want to, don’t get fisted by strangers.
- If it has to be a stranger, clarify the hygienic conditions with him beforehand. If he doesn’t agree, look for another partner.
- Don’t let anyone put their hand inside you without gloves. You don’t know where it has been before.
- Never let anyone put a hand inside you that has just been inside your sling neighbour.
- Always bring your own lube and don’t share it with anyone.
- Visit a doctor regularly, with whom you can talk about your sexual preferences and have yourself checked for communicable diseases.
