Safer Fisting Guide Advisory Group

Help shape a community-informed sexual health resource

We're creating a community-informed guide to safer fisting—one that's honest, practical, and grounded in real experience.

Fisting is something that many people are curious about, but information can be limited, intimidating, or unclear. This project aims to change that by creating a resource that centres:

  • Safety and harm reduction
  • Informed, enthusiastic consent
  • Real-life insights from people who actually do it

To make this guide meaningful, we're bringing together a paid Advisory Group of community members to help shape it.
