Sex+: “Anal Fisting” by Wyatt Mischler

Anal Fisting

the difficult part is
clipping your nails
correctly.

I spent 
twenty minutes clipping
before he said, “okay, 
that’s smooth
enough,”

while he squeezed my knuckles
examining them
like a cowboy sizing up 
a horse

then told me
“just fold your hand. 
be gentle. imagine 
you’re cupping water.”

and slid his feet
into the two leather stirrups
hung from the ceiling.

there were three men
watching us, who 
I want to imagine holding beers

but they held my arms
and my thighs
while they talked 
technique.

“pull out
make an opening
yep, like that. and I’ll pour lube in.
good. now,
push.”

afterwards 
I learned his name.
we greeted eachother. 
he told me I had a 
good, firm handshake

and with my wrist still warm I said
thank you
so do you
