Besides the moral outrage, there is the safety question.

Fisting is when you take your entire hand and put it into another person's rectum. The chances of injury are high. Here is a quote from a pro-fisting site:

The primary dangers of fisting are damage in and around the anal/vaginal opening. Minor damage can come in the form anal/ vaginal fissures which are tiny tears in the skin surrounding the anal/ vaginal opening, tenderness associated with the stretching of the openings and/or a lack of lubrication and bleeding caused when fissures occur. Severe damage is the actual tearing and ripping of the anal/vaginal muscles sometimes leading to incontinence (a loss of bowel retention/ control), usually caused by an over eager- ness to achieve full insertion of the fist without allowing the muscle tissue to relax and adjust. The severest form of damage are the inversion of the bowel, in which the bowel tears loose from the abdominal cavity and protrudes outside the anal opening and peritonitis, an infection caused by fecal material entering the sterile abdominal cavity through tears in the bowel walls. The death rate is well over 60% when this condition occurs as there are no nerve endings to tell you something is wrong.

I can't imagine a medical doctor in their right mind that would recommend this activity. How can we be teaching this activity to kids?

"I can't imagine a medical doctor in their right mind that would recommend this activity."

Nor any other medical personnel:

Why Isn't Homosexuality Considered A Disorder On The Basis Of Its Medical Consequences?

"The co-author of my own medical reference book, Saunders Pocket Reference for Nurses,[i] was the head of the surgery department at Stanford. She related case histories of homosexuals needing emergency surgery due to "fisting," "playing with toys," (inserting objects into the rectum) and other bizarre acts..."

"How can we be teaching this activity to kids?"

Here's one way: GLSEN Encourages Teens In Anal SEX "Don't give up."

And when the kids get to college, they'll have ample opportunity to continue the homosexual education they received in middle school and high school with special workshops, such as: Students Learn Sex Toy Safety (No Joking)

The people who do this (and many support it) are evil and guilty of child abuse.

These people have a prolapse of judgement, and risk a prolapse of their "heaven's gate". At the current high school level in extracurricular activities, sodomy is taught/recruited as safe-sex birth control. This catagory of Darwin Awards will be carved from pillars of salt.

I think I'm gonna be sick. I didn't know what it was and really didn't want to ask although I have heard the term used many times. That is .... well, unthinkable.
