First Time Taking it - Recovery Question

[twistedFF]

Hi Guys. Been fisting as a top for a few years now but recently ben working on taking one myself. This past Friday I managed to do just that but am concerned that recovery isn't going as it should. Before I go and make that mortifying trip to my doctor I would like to know if what I'm feeling is OK and will subside:

1. I have lost some feeling so cannot tell when I need the bathroom although that does seem to be returning albeit slowly.
2. Had to walk around with my hole plugged up with toilet paper and have experienced 'leaking' - some people say this is normal and my hole will close back up. I'm not sure though...
3. It's been 48 hours now and I'd really appreciate anyone's advice as to what to expect or if indeed I do need to go and see someone.

Thanks

It looks like you took things too far too fast. If you had trained properly you would not be feeling like this. I don't blame you though, you've been the fister for so long that you were probably thinking, "how hard can it be?"

How long did you train? It takes months of dedicated DAILY training to comfortably take a fist with pleasure. With lifestyle, career and other distractions, a more realistic timeline to be completely ready for a fist would be closer to a year.

To answer your question, I'm pretty sure that as long as you abstain from taking a fist or any other toy for a week or two, you should be back to normal. If not, then DEFINITELY see your doctor.

Go back to basics. LUBE LUBE LUBE, GO SLOW AND ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

Thanks for the advice - I have been working up to it for a while now and thought I was ready - obviously wasn't.

I'm abstaining from any kind of ass play for the next couple of week at least to give everything time to settle down. And I've made that doctors appointment - just in case.

48 hours and still leaking is fairly normal imho. You'll be fine.

Atlanta is right.. The symptoms do seem a bit extreme but then again I've only been punch fisted VIGOROUSLY once and the rest has always been toys. When I was punch fisted hard I remember my hole being very tender after a few hours and I was farting a bit but I gave myself a full week to recover. After that I was back in the saddle :)

On the other hand (pardon the pun), I never lost sensitivity or control of my bowels, nor did I leak and I'm guessing it's because I trained myself to take 4 inch wide toys comfortably prior to taking on a punch fisting session. Don't worry Twisted, like Atlanta says, you'll be fine but be careful, next time you may not be as lucky.

Being a bottom takes a lot of prep, there's the enemas and the shower shots and the "making sure you won't shit on his hand" trials prior to. It's really a process when you think about it and when done right, the sessions go ohhh so much better.

Take for example my day today. I dedicated it to a good play session so I got up early, prepared 2 quarts of strong coffee. While it brewed I used my Streem Master to do a shallow cleaning and then gave myself a good coffee enema. Afterwards I followed it up with a salt/Listerine/baking soda enema and then did some deep insertions to get all the water out. I then took some time to wash and heat up all the toys I was going to use which gave the rest of the water time to come out. All in all it took about 3.5 hours to prepare and I loved every minute of it. My ass was so clean, relaxed and ready to get stretched wide!!!! I punished my ass so much today but because I prepared properly, it's still ready for more! I don't find it's the same when you are trying to squeeze in a one hour session including prep time. Everything is so rushed and it never feels as great.

Since you've been topping for so long, why not get one of your trusted bottoms to take you on a tour of your ass with him as your guide. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to share his wisdom with you.

I think Owen's suggestion is a good one.

I have a slight loss in sensitivity that predates my ass play. I always know when I need to go, but sometimes I feel like I am about to pass gas and it turns out to be a few drops of liquid.

I seldom have a bowel movement until 36 to 48 hours after I clean out. But then, I usually fast the day of the cleanout, do a deep clean, take a couple of steps to make sure I've got all the water out and take generic Immodium to stop my colon's normal rhythmic contractions that move the body's waste on its natural course. When I do go before that, it's mostly only lube that comes out when I've used much more than normal during depth training or when I've used a lot of generic crisco.

The one time that wasn't true, there was something bad about the beef stroganoff that I ate for my post-session meal. Shortly after I awoke the next day, I had to go urgently and it had gone right through me.

So, ask yourself if it could be trapped water from your cleanout or lube that is leaking out or whether you might have eaten something that disagreed with you and caused it.

Wow, some great advice from everyone. I did actually face the embrassment of the doctors yesterday and he didn't seem too concerned - gave me some cream to heal the small fissure that was there - advised me to abstain from putting anything up there for a week at least and then to take it easy and listen to my hole...

I'll digest and take on board everything you have told me and hopefully will be able to get back in play soon.

Nice to know that there was actually a cause for concern, namely a fissure.
Hope it cures quick. Maybe take it a bit easier next time...?

[twistedFF]

Yes thanks Dad ;-). things getting back to 'normal' and will be sure to take it extra slow when I do get back in to play.. Thanks again guys for the advice. Much appreciated

I am glad to hear that things are improving for you. Normally, the sphincter will close in a couple of hours and not days as you had mentioned. I am guessing that you went through some pain when the fist was pushed in. That is always a warning sign. Slow progress in stretching is always better than forcing the hole to open. As a top it has sometimes taken me weekly sessions for a year before the bottom was ready for my larger hand. It is never good to rush things. That always leads to tearing of tissue.
