Before I tried fisting, I was utterly mystified - and a little intimidated - by it.
I had a partner who wasn't interested in doing it, but I was definitely overwhelmed at the prospect.
Was it safe? Would I end up damaged? Would it hurt? Or would it actually feel good?

I attended a sexual workshop where I witnessed a fisting demonstration,
and a lot of my questions were answered.
It didn't seem painful at all. Actually the women who took part in the demo seemed to enjoy it.
However, even after that class, I didn't take the leap right away. Instead, I continued to read about it.
My partner and I felt comfortable enough for me to trying it. I contacted the group leader and she recommended a
male member that would show us the right way. We went to his apartment the very next night.
