The first time I heard the word “fisting”, I thought: Ouch! A whole fist is supposed to go up there? But it turns out that inserting your hand into a partner’s vagina or anus isn’t supposed to be painful for anybody, and it definitely doesn’t involve punching your way into a hole. It’s supposed to be pleasurable. And pretty intense. Turning your honey into a hand puppet might sound impossible, but with the right techniques, communication and plenty of lube, you can make it happen.
In 2011, ten women in Bilbao, Spain, got together to publicly proclaim their self-love and marry themselves. It started out as a fun, rebellious act against traditional marriage, but in fact, they were tapping into something already underway globally. It’s called sologamy.
Traditional marriage is no longer a key goal for some women. Instead, they’re choosing to make a commitment to love themselves before others.
Is this self-love gone too far or a surprising new twist on an old tale?
