La Fistinière

La Fistinière was a guesthouse and sex club for gay men "completely dedicated to the practice of Fist-Fucking and hard sexuality," located in Assigny, Cher, France.

[1] Husbands François Mallet and Juan Carlos Garcia Berrio were avid fisters (they once owned a cat named Fistouille, which roughly translates to “my beloved fist fuck”).

For example, singer Giedrė Barauskaitė performed at La Fistinière on May 6, 2017 to celebrate its tenth anniversary, and punk group Opium Du Peuple filmed a music video there in 2013.

[1] The sex toy collection included repurposed items from everyday life, such as baseball bats, golf clubs, and bowling pins (to use as dildos) and a veterinary speculum designed for cows and mares (for anal dilation).

[1] Outdoor areas were all clothing-optional and public sex was permitted as long as it was not visible or audible off the property; a note on the website encouraged guests to "ask about the fisting tree!

[1] La Fistinière required all guests to be consenting adults and to abide by the following rules:[1] Mallet and Berrio regarded fisting as "magic" and "almost religious," not merely a sexual act.

[3] Berrio described fisting as "the act of opening another’s perception in a spiritual way"[3] allowing a fister to touch, smell, taste, see, and feel the "unique, magnificent, and divine world of the inside of his partner.
