Anal Fisting

By Ramon Johnson, About.com

Definition:

Sex involving insertion of the hand into the anus. Though possible, rarely is the hand initially inserted while balled in a fist. The hand enters the anus slowly while the fingers are straight and together, then balled into a fist once fully inserted. "Punching" is the term used when the hand is forcefully inserted while initially in a fist. Done properly, anal fisting stimulates the prostate.
