Sorry for the long 7 years wait for this. I bet by now you already know the answers, but there's always new people getting into fisting and this is the perfect opportunity to raise awareness to risk decrease in this kink. So first things first, you have to understand that technically there is no fluid exchange in fisting and that gloves were first introduced in the 1980s during the AIDS crisis. That being said, it's not that bare fisting has 0 risks, but they're minimal compared to regular anal intercourse. Whenever I get fisted I check the top's hands for the size of their nails, then I check for any possible cut or scratch or skinning they have on their hands, fingers and forearms. Like I said, risks are minimal but they're still there. In case of cuts, gloves are recommended for two reasons: 1- reducing the chances of having fluid exchange and 2- avoiding getting bacteria from the rectum directly on the wounds. Let's remember that the rectum is full of bacteria that is needed for the functionning of our bowels and getting them on a cut elevates considerably the risk of infections. Although some tops claim that wearing gloves minimize the scratching of nails on the rectum's walls, most commercially available gloves are not thick enough to prevent any damage of this sort. So basically wearing gloves does not replace getting your fingernails cut. Even by wearing them it is recommended to have them trimmed as short as possible. Now just as a small trivia, when AIDS and HIV were spreading in the early 1980s there used to be a sex club in San Francisco called The Catacombs. They were the ones who first introduced the use of gloves in this kink. The health inspectors said that their club was very clean but they still needed to provide condoms, even if they said they didn't do regular penetration there. But in order to keep having their gatherings they'd needed to provide protection. They put condoms available everywhere and members were like "what do I do with these? Put one on each finger?" and that's how they came up with the idea of wearing latex gloves and veterinary gloves for deep fisting. After the rise in popularity of PrEP people have once again ditched gloves. But the risk of getting a bacterial infection on the top's hand is still there because technically that is not an STI.

@Kekkaishi I would leave it until your doctor says it's ok to have sex again. The last thing you want is to rip the stitches out.

@TopSecret-0 But it is their ownership of Big Media, that's the root problem. This stuff doesn't get reported - widely enough. If media hadn't sold out, if media served ordinary people better, industry would have to do better. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant" - whether we mean Big Agriculture, Big Pharma, Big Banking, Big War, Big Politics - you name it.

@lololulu19 i say: Look at everything...... but..... you know..... look at everything. Vitamins seem unlikely. We've mentioned 5-6 other things now that could seem more likely...... yet were not mentioned, oddly.

@raphjd & Kaiser, at least, tries to make it sound like no big deal people were fired.......... but....... over what?? if they weren't good enough before, they shouldn't be good enough now Or reverse: if they are good enough now, they should never have been fired

@eobox91103 It doesn't surprise me in the least. We don't use a lot of weedkiller (very rarely in fact), so it's a constant battle to get rid of them. Our front garden is for the bees, as long as we also like it. Our back garden is divided into 1/3rds. The back 1/rd is for our chickens and turkeys. We also have fruit trees trained to the walls and fences. A 1/3rd (middle and sides) is for plants. And the front 1/3rd is for us and the dogs, plus plants. We also have an allotment.

@Kekkaishi On the nipples is mostly on pregnant women, but they are extremely common on both genders. They are quite common on the eyelids, especially in teens and young adults of either gender. These are best left to an eye doctor since they are so close to the eye. They are just oil glands where the skin grows over the opening.

OK - CA & Newsom repealed AB 2098 in Oct 2023, after legal challenges threatened to overturn it. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/10/02/2753112/0/en/In-NCLA-Victory-Gov-Newsom-Repeals-California-Law-Censoring-Doctors-Covid-19-Medical-Advice.html Back to FDA topic - well - you can't fault Dr. Pierre Kory who takes victory lap [image: 1711296559496-dr-pierre-kory-victory-lap-ivermectin.jpg]

@frostycab said in First time anal toy caused bleeding: Even if you don't want to say how you think this started, @idesigay The sort of problem you're having can also be caused by a single hard stool that pinches/obstructs a vein and lead to a haemorrhoid, especially if it's a large-diameter stool that gets "stuck" partway out and blocks blood flow for a while. This is actually quite common, and most doctors have seen it many times. A good doctor won't care if this problem was caused by exiting hard stools or entering large watermelons.

@raphjd It seems to come from the rulers / managerial class. Masses of people do not buy it. https://thepostmillennial.com/pfizer-stock-plummets-as-people-turn-away-from-covid-boosters Pfizer's stock shot downwards more than 44 percent in 2023, coming as more than 80 percent of people eligible to get the booster shot this fall opted not to get it.

I know it's not the recommended way, but I was at one point able to lose a lot of weight with a steady diet of meth and coke. It worked like a charm for me!
