Affiliations and Certifications

Affiliations and certifications add to the legitimacy of your club or organization. They help fisters identify organizations that match their specific needs.

Affiliations

The FFist Council is a loose-knit confederacy of fisting clubs. Representatives from each club discuss topics relevant to their individual fisting groups and the fisting community as a whole. For example, during the Monkey Pox outbreak, members provided each other with strategies and details for working with local health departments to vaccinate their club members.

Certifications

F3 Certification is a verification/attestation system administed by Fist Theory and F-Squared (FF). A fisting group seeking certification must meet certain requirements, including:

  • Ensuring Member Privacy | Policies must be in place to protect member identities and health information, prohibit doxing, and prevent data breeches if membership registries or logs are kept.
  • Implementing Harassment Deterence | Policies must be in place and enforced to prevent bullying, stalking, extortion, and sexual harrassment.
  • Practicing Specific Levels of Inclusivity | Policies must be in place and practices must occur that address racism, transphobia, sexism, ageism, and body-shaming.
  • Establishing an Organizational Mission and Developing Strong Community Fisting Values | Documents that identify the purpose of the group, its mission, and governing principles should be in place.
  • Practicing RACK/PRICK (Consent Methodologies) | Education and enforcement regarding these consensual interactions must occur regularly.
  • Promoting Safe and Sane Fisting Practices | Education and training should be promoted within the group's events, social media channels, socials, or other activities.
