Executive Summary

Overview of body systems, reference points, and scientific vocabulary that is commonly used in advanced anatomical discussions of the fist chute.

Reference Points

Anatomists and medical professionals use specific directional terms and reference points to ensure consistency in understanding. The fisting population and the anatomy courses here typically avoid these terms; however, two directional terms and two positional terms are occasionally used for brevity or clarity.

The terms supine and prone refer to the two most common fisting positions for bottoms: face up (on his back) or face down (on his knees).

VOCABULARY

Supine

  1. Adjective (of a person) lying face upward or on one's back.

Prone

  1. Adjective (of a person) lying face downward or on one's stomach; in fisting, typically face downward on knees.
Bottom in Prone Position
Figure 1-1: Prone Position

Fisting on one’s knees is an example of the prone fisting position.

Bottom in Supine Position
Figure 1-2: Supine Position

Fisting on your back in a sling or flat surface are examples of the supine fisting position.

The directional terms medial (toward the middle) and lateral (toward the side) indicate the general location of a hand inside the deeper regions of fist chute.

Hand in Lateral Direction
Figure 1-3: Lateral Direction

Directing the hand away from the center of the body toward the bottom’s side demonstrates the lateral direction.

Hand in Medial Direction
Figure 1-4: Medial Direction

Directing the hand toward the center of the body instead of the side demonstrates the medial direction.

VOCABULARY

Lateral

  1. Adjective situated on one side or other of the body or of an organ, especially in the region furthest from the center of the body.

Medial

  1. Adjective situated near the center of the body or the midline of an organ.

Body Systems

Anatomical courses discuss components of the fist chute according their composite body systems and relevant neighboring organs:

System Components
Digestive Organs of the GI tract (responsible for alimentation) including the dual-purpose sexual organs: anus, rectum, and colon.
Muscle Muscles and tendons responsible for movement and body maintenance, specifically surrounding the fist chute, arms, and hands.
Skeletal Bones and ligaments responsible for structure and alignment that facilitate manual penetration.
Integumentary Skin that is exposed externally to the environment and internally along the GI and respiratory tracts. Also includes tissues relevant to the fist chute.
Vascular Blood vessel component of the cardio-vascular system.
Reproductive Organs related to sexual function and pleasure encountered during fisting, specifically the prostate.
Nervous Voluntary (somatic) and involuntary (autonomic) nervous systems that affect the ability to give and take a hand.
Table 2-1: Major Body Systems of the Fist Chute

Organs and tissues of several body systems are physically touched during fisting and if managed correctly can provide immense pleasure. If managed incorrectly, they will be a source of ßdiscomfort.

 

Other courses at Fist Club University reference or address the other major systems of the body:

System Components
Urinary Organs of the urinary tract and their physiological functions, including those encountered and affected while fisting (urethra, bladder, and kidneys).
Respiratory Organs of the respiratory tract and their physiological functions, including vocal cords, lungs, and nasal and oral cavities.
Integumentary Skin that is exposed externally to the environment and internally along the GI and respiratory tracts. Also includes tissues relevant to the fist chute.
Cardiovascular The cardiac, or heart, component of the cardiovascular system.
Endocrine Glands and hormones that affect disposition and physiological functions.
Immune Cells, tissues, organs and physiological processes that prevent illness and infection.
Table 2-2: Related Body Systems

While these systems have limited or no physical presence in the fist chute, they can affect the overall fisting experience.
