If fisting is, as Billy Castro claims in his QPTV Interview, the Holy Grail of queer sex, then queer pornographers are the knights of the round table, heroically searching the land for evidence of this most controversial and sacred of artifacts.
The significance of fisting to queer pornography is that it is both an indispensible element to chronicling authentic queer sexuality and paradoxically considered obscene by mainstream censorship laws. While the word obscene – like profane, pervert, dirty, and of course the word queer itself – may be a pejorative we enjoy turning on its head and reclaiming, the fact remains that institutionalized standards of morality control just how “real” our depictions of marginalized sexuality can be.
There is a social, political, artistic, and commercial demand for honest raw depictions of queer sex. Filmmakers, performers, and writers are stepping up to supply that demand, with content that stimulates the brains of those who think on the edges of identity, titillates the bodies of those who are aroused by that boundary-pushing, and warms the hearts of those who are seeing people fuck the way they fuck.
And yet these creators still have to answer to standards of morality that have nothing to do with consent, and everything to do with fear of the unknown.
What this ban means, on a practical level, is that the distribution of pornographic material is contingent on the legalized moral standards of different areas. So if an area says fisting is obscene, which most do, then a DVD depicting fisting cannot be distributed there. As a result, many companies outright forbid the act to be included in their products.
The internet provides a lovely loop-hole for this, because it doesn’t have to answer to these distribution laws. Thus sites like QPTV are able to show fisting in all of its wet hot juicy cum-drenched glory.
For example;
Jiz Lee fists buckets of cum from Papi Coxx in this gender-queer art-fuck.
In their trans-dyke hotel hook-up scene Tobi fists Maya’s hole while Maya plays with herself.
Sealu Sideshow uses a Hitachi-fisting double whamming to cum to a hollering writhing orgasms on Crybaby’s hand.
Jolene Parton loves fisting so much that she asks for it from Arabelle Raphael when they’re fucking on a bed of dildos.
In the soon to be released scene, Drew Deveaux fists her lover Nic Switch’s pussy, giving Nic countless orgasms. Here’s the world premiere clip of this incredible, boundary-breaking, edge-pushing scene.

So with all this evidence of people loving and asking for fisting (take it from us, we didn’t coerce anybody into doing it; we just turn on the cameras and let people do what they want!), why would the act be considered obscene?
If the fear is that fisting porn necessarily depicts peoples’ holes being stretched beyond their comfort level, then more energy could be put towards making certain that ethical standards of treatment of performers are expected and enforced. The fisting ban is a band-aid on a gaping wound of coercion, trafficking, and non-consent that is unfortunate reality in the sex industry. Banning fisting is not going to help this problem. A scene in which someone’s hole is stretched beyond what turns them on is not a problem because it’s fisting; it’s a problem because it’s against the performer’s wishes. Scenes – like those on QPTV – that depict fisting as a rapturous, passionate element of sex between queer bodies, replete with multiple orgasms, smiles, laughter, and romantic connection – should not be kept from the people who want to see them.
Help us celebrate International Fisting Day by downloading some ethically-made porn of fisting, or by sticking your hand in the hole of someone who wants it there!
There’s just something about walking into an enormous hotel suite on the 19th floor of Planet Hollywood, throwing open the shades to behold a view of Vegas, and turning on the hot tub that makes you feel like you’ve really made it!
