I’m writing about this because
a) I got a question about it in my Recon inbox and
b) somehow even after years and years of practice I still monumentally fuck this up.
Be sure to check out my concise, user-friendly plan at the end – I know I’ll be printing, laminating, and sticking it to my fridge. A few parts in this one:
- Nutrition
- Exercise
- Time
1. NUTRITION
Talk to any experienced fister and they’ll have their own tips and tricks for optimising their douching time, including the kinds of food they eat in preparation for that.
Important points
- Eat less = douche less;
- Your poo will mirror what you put in your mouth. If you want it to come out in a clump with no pain, eat potato, pasta, rice etc. Bits of vegetable come out in bits (what a surprise!). Corn seems to have no end in sight, as do nuts and seeds. Obviously stay away from spicy food unless the anal pain of Montezuma’s Revenge turns you on.
- Take a fibre supplement regularly (psyllium husk or similar), and especially on the day leading up to your assplay. Your stool will clump much better, making it come out quicker and also pain-free (the longer you douche, the more you upset your colon, douching out all that good slime and bacteria and making it raw. After an hour and a half at it you can more or less forget about it calming down again). I cannot stress enough how a fibre supplement changes my douching experience. Two teaspoons a day should do it.
- Use the douching technique in my previous post. Less water inside, more natural bowel movement = happy colon.
Not eating
Lots of fisters tend not to eat at all before and during a session, which is understandable. I play with guys who seem quite happy going the whole day without food if they’re fisting in the evening, but I’m a sucker for that nice full feeling not only in my ass but also in my stomach. I exercise a fair bit, and my body Is always reminding me about how much I love to eat. On a fisting day I subscribe to a diet that is light, and full of the right foods for my douche:
- Carbs, like potatoes and pasta;
- Vitamins and water.
- Energy rich snacks during the session: cookies, sweets, energy drinks, coffee, tea etc.
Towards the end of play I start to eat whatever the fuck I damn well please, because I won’t be douching again later. Last time towards the end of a group session I was the guy eating a sausage roll in the middle of the room while the action happened around me. In retrospect not my finest moment, but it had been a while since I ate something solid. Bear in mind of course that food going down into your stomach triggers the digestive system to work everything down, so don’t be surprised if you want to poo after eating.
Weekend-long sessions
But what if your session is a whole weekend affair, or you’re on holidays and plan to be getting an internal high five on every day of the week? Well, my dear little hand puppet, you’re going to have to get used to ignoring your stomach’s hunger signals. If you let yourself stay hungry for a couple of hours your brain will actually put the feeling on hold, especially if you’re otherwise occupied. In this case, just as for a shorter session, make sure you stay hydrated and keep some kind of stimulant coming in. Sugar, energy drinks, coffee and (green or black) tea are super helpful in this case.
But I’m an Athlete…
If you’re a hard-ass when it comes to your nutrition, just time it wisely; for example, if you’re an athlete and need to perform, you might want to take a break from the fisting during a competition period. If you need your body to be in top form all the time, make yourself a schedule such that you’re taking in lots of carbs before a fist and fruit and veg afterwards. Of course, it’s not always nice to plan your sex, but hey, welcome to fisting. Spontaneity is rare. Also, for people concerned about their nutrition: do some reading into ketosis. It’s where your body feeds on its fat stores after 12 hours of not eating. It’s really good for maintaining your figure and comes highly recommended for anyone without an eating disorder. I deliberately achieve ketosis overnight on most regular days (my schedule allows for it- coffee in the morning and then breakfast around 11am), and fisting could be seen as another opportunity for it. Again, know that your body runs reasonably on the nutrients, not all the extra stuff that actually makes you full. You can kind of train your mind to deal with it.
2. EXERCISE
I’d say generally sport doesn’t disrupt my sex. I gym a lot, and if I do leg day before fisting then I do have problems stretching them out or using them for support in certain positions (also they’re more prone to cramps), AND THEY GET TIRED REALLY QUICKLY. I’ll instead do leg day (/cycling/running/pick your leg heavy sport) in the days following a fist rather than before. The same goes for arms if you want to be holding your legs up for a long time. On the other, hand if you’re really into your sport, your legs and arms should be pretty well trained that they don’t feel exhausted after a regular gym workout.I enjoy exercising because it feels like it brings balance to my body and satisfaction to my mind. If I don’t exercise, my body suffers and I feel a bit sluggish. If this is you and you want your mind to be at ease while you fist, just exercise as normal in preparation.
PC Muscles and the asshole
Some side info about tension and relaxation around the ring: I attribute my snap-back asshole to my active childhood of middle and long-distance running, as well as happily walking everywhere. I have a vice-like grip compared to most other assholes and find it hard to relax my PC muscles, which are a group of voluntary and involuntary muscles around your groin area used to stop your body from just letting go of waste willy-nilly (look them up). You can learn to actively relax the PC muscles, though most exercises you’ll find are rather for flexing i.e. strengthening them. I recommend trying the flexing exercises because then you’ll know what it is to contract as well as relax them (obviously for fisting we want the latter). Personally, I additionally need to keep at the stretching if I don’t get fisted for a period, otherwise my ass goes back to being tight like it was when I was 15. Which. I. Hate. Currently I train a couple of times a week both on depth and width.
3. TIME
Stuff gets in the way of your perfect fisting weekend. You need to be strict and not let it. Don’t give into the temptation to stay out late drinking alcohol the night before, and don’t go out sightseeing and then be too tired to fist later. This has happened to me more times than I can count. Food belongs under this subheading too – not only what you eat but when you eat it – and can make or break your date. Prior Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.What commonly happens to me: I meet up with my fist partner for a weekend of sex in combination with partying, seeing friends, exploring a city and just enjoying each other’s company. What often happens is our sightseeing takes longer than planned, our friends invade our fisting space and time, and we get lazy or aren’t mindful and eat the wrong food. This combination will ruin your fisting. Make a clear plan, have your friends know about it, and you’ll be on your way to anal orgasm heaven. If need be, hire a hotel room even in your own city just to get away from the stresses of everyday life, to let you switch off and enjoy. After all, it’s a hobby so it requires investment of time and money.
PLAN FOR A FIST WEEKEND
Friday
- Lunch:
Enjoy your last decent meal, preferably as an early lunch. Still observe the food guidelines, because this meal is what will first come out on Saturday morning when you douche. Be sure to take your fibre supplement. Meet friends, have a nice social time. Keep alcoholic drinks to a minimum or refrain altogether. If just two of you, do something relaxing together like going for a walk or watching a film. - Douche:
One short round each of douching, a few hours before your next one. I find it helps get things going, and will shorten your douche later. - Dinner:
Have a light meal without anything suspect. Pasta bake or similar will do. No tomatoes, no corn, no leafy greens, no seeds, no nuts, nothing spicy, no meat, just…don’t. Seriously, ugh. Fibre supplement again 😊 - 19:30 Douche:
Give it a little watering, and let your insides do the work for you (refer to my previous post on short douching). Don’t go spending hours in the shower. Prepare your fisting space in between rounds. - 20:30 Fist.
A nice gentle warmup for each of you. - 23:00 Go to bed early.
It’s Friday, you’ll probably be tired from a long day anyway.
Saturday
- 09:30 Wake up.
Sleep in if it helps you feel refreshed. This will be your major fist day. If you get it tomorrow too, that’s a bonus. - 11:00 Douche:
one very short round, again to promote flow for later. - 11:30 Breakfast:
Porridge. Or Bread with cheese, spreads. Eggs are ok, but not ideal. Fibre supplement. - 12:00 Douche:
With the right amount of fibre, the correct food and not too much water, your body will really do this job by itself. Just give it a little encouragement with warm water at the hole and occasionally inside (not too deep), and it will sort itself out fairly quickly. Refer to my previous entry if you’re not clear. - Afternoon from 13:00 Lunch:
Snacks. Cookies, bananas, smoothies, love. Before or between your fist sessions. - 14:00 Fist:
Fist. Fist fist fist fist, fist. Then fist some more. Width and depth are best done now. - 20:00 Dinner:
Same as lunch. Plus something nice and carb-rich again. I most often skip dinner here. - 22:00 Dessert:
More fist. Probably now you can just go all night and be super happy. Mix it up.
Sunday
- 10:00 Breakfast:
Anything you want. Whatever you eat now will come out late evening at least. - 10:30 Douche:
Again in short rounds. Should be pretty easy because you didn’t eat much on Saturday. - Afternoon – Final fist:
yes please! For me this is more often for depth than for width or punching. Slow and intimate.
- 17:00 Go home, you big wet, sloppy mess.
