Has the perception of fisting as a "taboo" act changed culturally over the last 5 years?

Has anyone else noticed that while fisting used to be considered an externally kinky and taboo act, it is slowly gaining cultural acceptance?

What makes you think it's gaining wider acceptance? Do you know of or do you do your own research about it?

No research, only my own personal (and biased) anecdotal evidence that brought me to that conclusion. I'm asking the question to see if anyone else has notice a cultural shift in acceptance?

Apologies if the question was worded strangely, but I'm looking for an outside perspective.

I wouldn't say there's been a cultural shift. I would say that fisting has established itself as a niche in porn but that doesn't mean it is any less taboo now than it used to be.

Agreed.

Zity members are still a rare breed.

Fisting in the vanilla world is very taboo.

Fisting has certainly caught on in the porn industry. past that, I think it is still a hard limit with some...and with some it is just a physical impossibility. If you watch carefully, you usually see women doing the fisting....their hands are sometimes so small, it's really not that big of a deal. Personally, my hands are so large that I might really injure a woman if I persisted past 3-4 fingers...especially in her anus.

I will try just about anything in the bedroom more than once.

I have been fisted anally and vaginally (NOT at the same time) by women with small hands and never by my husband who wears an 8 1/2 to 9 glove and 14 ring size. I don't care how many children I have had, how much I want to do it or how relaxed and well lubricated I am. That is never going to happen.

I totally agree with you on the fisting thing. I spoke about this with a gyno doctor buddy of mine and he said some women are just not constructed to be opened like that except in the late stages of childbirth and even then a baby's head can get stuck. As for the anus, again, my hand, balled up in probably larger than a 31/2 diameter ball and putting that up a woman's rear is not all that common. I have reconciled that I probably will not be able to fist very many woman that I might meet. I can live with that.

For me it was never a taboo and i do fist my better part often

Everything can, nothing has to

I got fisted at the swingers club last week. Word spread like wildfire, and I had an audience in minutes. They all looked amazed, and after, a few people asked if I really had a fist in my ass (did they think it was an optical illusion?)

Even in a really open minded place, anal fisting is still shocking.

I was talking about it with my sister, who represents the totally vanilla world. She began with total disbelief, there was no way I had a man's hand in my rectum. I assured her it had happened. Then she started asking the pat questions- How did I stretch my asshole that big? (I didn't. I relaxed it that big). Then, of course- Isn't your asshole going to stay that way? (No! Within half an hour it was airtight again.) She was enthralled, she had heard of gay men doing it, but only in vague terms.

Using her as my very small research group- No, fisting is not more culturally accepted. In the fetish world, perhaps more are trying it, or talking about it.

I feel like it's leaking more into mainstream porn, and therefore, more men aren't freaked out by it. Maybe they never were, but I feel like I've met a lot of men within the past few years who are eager to try it/start working towards it as I buck up and down on their fingers or signal for them to 'add another finger' or 'go deeper'.

I feel like more women are becoming aware of it and aren't nearly as turned off by it either.

Anything involving the anus or rectum will always be taboo.

Sorry, that's just the way it is.

Maybe fisting is less taboo than it once was. I hope it stays taboo to some degree. If fisting weren't taboo, I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much.

I love my wife to make me cum by using one hand to fuck my ass with a huge dildo while she slides her other hand up and down my hairless, well lubed taint, balls, cock, and pubes. When Pam drops the dildo and then fucks me with her fist, it's a mind blowing experience. The physical pleasure of penetration by a huge dildo verses Pam's fist is comparable, but it's the mental aspect of fisting that makes it so good. A few seconds after the rush of physical pleasure from Pam's fist popping entirely through my ass, I start thinking about what's actually happening. It still shocks me. Pam's hand is completely inside me! The mental image I get is surreal. Watching in a mirror as Pam fists me is amazing. I love thinking about how taboo fisting is. I can cum just by fantasizing that Pam's girlfriends are watching and gasping.

Buttwoman, I am so jealous. You get to be fisted while there actually is a crowd watching!.

WildBill2- Although I definately have an exhibitionist streak, I'm just as happy fisting behind closed doors. It just happens that the place I go to meet men has no doors! It has diverted the most common question I get from 'Are those yours?' (Btw- Yes, I have a reciept for them) to 'Doesn't your ass hurt?' Lol.

Back to the original question- As long as the majority can't do it (or thinks they can't) fisting will remain on the fringe. Before the movie 'Deep throat' oral sex was just as much on the fringe, but it changed because everybody has a mouth. Every woman I've fisted, at the start of the conversation, said 'I can't do that'.

I read Susie's comment and knew where she was coming from...I am a large man....over 6' tall and big meaty hands. I have only been able to fist two women in all my sessions. I have only anal fisted one woman. I can get all four fingers inside and the tip of my thumb, but that wrist bone and knuckles just will not go in.

The mature women that I play with all see fisting as a taboo which they love but don't talk about much. Porn has made it where younger women are more willing to try anything that they see in a DVD...I believe that there is little that we do that is considered taboo by most people when you get them to talk.

Fisting - whether vaginal or anal - is apparently illegal in my state. Pornwise, a few years ago, we were at an adult video store looking for fisting videos and were informed of that fact.

I very much enjoy being vaginally fisted.

Actually I had never heard of it till after I got my own hand up my ass then I started checking it out online. I know it feels great.
