Clean-out
Anti-diarrheal medications like Lomotil and loperamide play a crucial role in managing symptoms of diarrhea, a common gastrointestinal issue characterized by frequent and loose bowel movements. These medications work by slowing down the movement of the intestines, allowing more time for water and electrolytes to be absorbed and thus reducing the frequency and urgency of bowel movements.
Lomotil, also known by its generic name diphenoxylate/atropine, is a prescription medication used to treat diarrhea. It contains two active ingredients: diphenoxylate, which is an opioid agonist that acts directly on the smooth muscle of the intestine to decrease bowel motility, and atropine, which is added in small amounts to discourage abuse of the medication due to its potential for addiction. Lomotil is typically used for short-term management of diarrhea, such as that caused by acute gastrointestinal infections or certain medical conditions.
Loperamide, available over-the-counter under brand names like Imodium, is another widely used anti-diarrheal medication. It works similarly to Lomotil by slowing down intestinal motility and increasing the absorption of fluids and electrolytes in the intestines. Loperamide is available in various formulations, including tablets, capsules, and liquid, making it convenient for individuals to manage mild to moderate diarrhea symptoms without a prescription. It's important to follow the dosage instructions carefully when using loperamide, as taking too much can lead to adverse effects such as constipation or even intestinal blockage.
Both Lomotil and loperamide are generally well-tolerated when used as directed, but they may cause side effects such as constipation, stomach pain, nausea, or dizziness. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease or infectious diarrhea caused by bacteria or parasites, should use anti-diarrheal medications with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. In some cases, treating the underlying cause of diarrhea may be necessary, and anti-diarrheal medications may only be used as adjunctive therapy to manage symptoms.
It's important to note that while anti-diarrheal medications can provide relief from diarrhea symptoms, they do not treat the underlying cause of diarrhea. In cases of severe or persistent diarrhea, it's essential to seek medical attention to identify and address the underlying cause, especially if accompanied by symptoms such as fever, bloody stools, dehydration, or significant abdominal pain. Additionally, maintaining adequate hydration by drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding certain foods or beverages that may exacerbate diarrhea can also help support recovery.
Constipation medications are designed to relieve the symptoms associated with difficulty passing stools or infrequent bowel movements. They work by either softening the stool, increasing bowel movements, or stimulating bowel activity. These medications are available over-the-counter or by prescription and can vary in their mechanism of action and effectiveness.
One commonly used type of constipation medication is stool softeners. Stool softeners, such as docusate sodium (Colace), work by drawing water into the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. They are often recommended for individuals who experience discomfort or straining during bowel movements due to hard, dry stools. Stool softeners are generally considered safe and are suitable for long-term use, especially for individuals prone to chronic constipation or those recovering from surgery.
Another type of medication for constipation is osmotic laxatives. Osmotic laxatives, such as polyethylene glycol (MiraLAX) or lactulose, work by drawing water into the bowel from surrounding tissues, which softens the stool and increases its bulk. These medications help to stimulate bowel movements and are often used to relieve occasional constipation or to prepare for certain medical procedures, such as colonoscopies. Osmotic laxatives are generally well-tolerated but may cause bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort in some individuals.
Stimulant laxatives are another category of constipation medications that work by stimulating the muscles in the intestines to increase bowel movements. Examples include bisacodyl (Dulcolax) and senna (Senokot). Stimulant laxatives are typically used for short-term relief of constipation or to facilitate bowel movements in individuals with slow bowel transit times. However, they are not recommended for long-term use due to the potential for dependence and decreased bowel function over time.
Prescription medications may also be prescribed for individuals with chronic or severe constipation that does not respond to over-the-counter treatments. These medications may include lubiprostone (Amitiza) or linaclotide (Linzess), which work by increasing fluid secretion in the intestines or by stimulating the receptors in the gut to enhance bowel movements. These medications are typically reserved for individuals with specific medical conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) or chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
It's important to note that while constipation medications can provide relief from symptoms, they are not intended to be used as a long-term solution for chronic constipation. Lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and exercising regularly, are essential for maintaining regular bowel function. Additionally, individuals with chronic or severe constipation should consult with a healthcare professional to identify and address any underlying causes or contributing factors.
Congestion
Poppers (nitrites) dilate blood vessels throughout the body including those in the nasal sinuses. The result of these engorged vessels is nasal congestion, or in lay terms, a stuffy nose.
A stuffy nose prevents: 1) inhaling additional poppers, and 2) conducting meditative breathing. The inability to inhale and breathe effectively decreases the ability to fist comfortably. Decongestants help alleviate symptoms associated with nasal congestion by constricting (narrowing) blood vessels in the nasal passages. Narrowed vessels allow air to flow freely in the sinuses.
There are two types of decongestants: localized and systemic (body-wide). Localized decongestants include certain cough drops, nasal drops, and topical sprays or creams. Systemic decongestants include various medications, the majority of which can be obtained without a prescription. It is preferable for fisters to use localized decongestants that act specifically on the nasal passages instead of systemic decongestants. Systemic decongestants are often coupled with other drugs and have side effects that could result in serious harm when coupled with other medications or recreational drugs.
Figure X-X: Medicinal Decongestants
Certain cough drops, nasal sprays, and oral tablets may help reduce congestion. Packaging will typically indicate if the product contains decongestants. Example of such packaging includes 'cools nasal passages' or use of a '—D' suffix (for decongestant).
Topical decongestants typically come in the form of nasal sprays or drops and provide rapid relief by directly targeting the nasal passages. Common examples include oxymetazoline (found in brands like Afrin) and phenylephrine. While effective for short-term relief, prolonged use of topical decongestants can lead to a phenomenon known as rebound congestion, where the nasal passages become even more congested once the medication wears off. Therefore, it's important to use these products sparingly and strictly follow the recommended dosage and duration.
Certain cough drops also provide relief from congestion. While cough drops primarily target throat irritation and coughing, many also contain ingredients like menthol or eucalyptus, which can help soothe nasal passages and provide a sensation of relief. Some cough drops also contain mild decongestants like phenylephrine to further alleviate nasal congestion.
Systemic decongestants, on the other hand, are swallowed and work uniformly throughout the body to constrict dilated vessels. One popular example is pseudoephedrine, often found in combination with antihistamines like loratadine (Claritin) in products such as Claritin-D. However, systemic decongestants can cause side effects such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and insomnia, especially in individuals with certain medical conditions like hypertension or heart disease.
Brief Summary
Medication Class: Decongestant
Availability: OTC, Non-prescription
Purpose: Improves respiration issues caused by popper congestion
Concerns: Oral decongestants (when coupled with other prescription and non-prescription drugs used while fisting) can cause fluctuations in blood pressure and exacerbate detrimental heart conditions
Individuals with underlying health conditions or those taking other medications should consult a healthcare professional before using oral decongestants to avoid potential interactions or adverse effects.

Protocols
Protocols include standard practices and etiquette followed by the majority of the fisting community. Typically, these are things that new fisters pick up over time.
Etiquette
Etiquette refers to how you treat others in a specific fisting scenario. There are three etiquette guidelines related to gloves.
People typically do not use gloves when playing in a private residence or hotel room with a single partner or small group (less than five people). People may opt for gloves in larger groups, with depth play, or in venues with inadequate washing facilities.
Do not assume your partner follows these practices. Specify—before you meet—your preferences or your present needs that alter your preferences. For example, if you generally play without gloves but have a cut on your hand and need protection, you should inform your partner before scheduling a session.
Anecdotal Narrative
Figure 3-1: Glove Notification
Informing your partner regarding your play requirements prior to meeting can prevent awkward situations in a fisting session.
Edgar and I have a standing fist session on the first Thursday morning of every month. We've always played S2S, but this month, I had cut my finger and the wound was still healing. I would need to wear gloves.
We still on for Thursday?
Yep. I'm game! I cut my finger last week and it's still healing. Do you mind if I use gloves?
I'm glad you asked.
My hole doesn't really respond well to gloves. I can just top this time, or we can wait for another week or so.
I've never been one to turn down being the designated bottom. See you at 9:30!
We averted a crisis because I wasn't planning on cleaning out that day to allow him to be the designated bottom.
While BYOG (Bring Your Own Gloves) sounds reasonable, guys that only play S2S may not keep gloves in stock. The Provisions Matrix indicates that the responsibility falls upon the individual who requests gloves. This means a bottom who requires gloves will need to have several pairs of each size on hand, regardless of hosting or travelling for the session.
Anecdotal Narrative
Figure 3-2: XS to XL
To ensure correct fit, the supply cabinet or bag should contain XS to XL size gloves.
Peter was a horse-hung-silver-fox-pocket-otter-gym-rat with no hang ups regarding masculinity. I had watched him top eager bottoms in his signature pink gloves for three days at Fist Fest. I knew his small hands would work wonders inside my hole. I approached him at breakfast on the final day of the event.
"Hey! You got any room on your dance card for me today?" I asked.
"Absolutely. I've been eyeing your hole for days" he responded and followed up with "I want to sink my elbow into you!"
"Great! Let's do this. But first, you gotta tell me what's the deal with the pink gloves?"
"I'm married to a non-fister. Obviously, we play separate; however, our agreement is that we wear protection when playing with others. Since most guys don't have XXL condoms or XS gloves, I provide my own." He continued, "I accidentally bought pink gloves several years ago, and it garnered so many comments that I've never bought any other color since."
"So, your condoms are pink, too?" I asked since I hadn't seen him topping with his cock.
"One could only hope that pink condoms would come in King size, but alas, you'll have to settle for transparent."
"So, I get both your hands and dick?"
"Both hands and dick? I'm not sure that's possible, but we can do jack-in-the-box. I've seen your hole, and I'm gonna jack-hammer the fuck out of you!"
We chatted a little more and sat up a play date for the afternoon. It was a great way to finish off the festival: pummeled in pink. The next time I ran out of gloves, I ordered pink replacements in honor of that epic event.
"It's the bottom's choice" is a common phrase you will hear when discussing glove etiquette. This would be true if gloves were always optional for both parties, but they are not. Sometimes, tops must wear gloves.
Neither party should be forced or harassed to fist in a manner with which they are not comfortable. Bottom's Choice should be replaced by Mutual Consent.
Anecdotal Narrative
Figure 3-3: Bidirectional Consent
Both parties need to agree on glove usage prior to meeting.
A few years ago, a dear friend invited me for Pride weekend at his home in Houston. He wanted to fist for the first time and asked if I would bottom for him.
Can you bring all the supplies and gear, including gloves?
I prefer S2S when bottoming, but I do have gloves that I suppose I can bring if necessary. :(
Thanks, I'm still on heavy immunosuppressants from my kidney transplant and am concerned about infection.
Fuck! I forgot about the transplant. Of course, we can wear gloves—your health is more important to me than any of my silly hang-ups. Sorry about being an ass. I hope you forgive me...
No worries, just get your ass down here. I'm excited to try this out!
— FF Chronicles: 15.06.0041
The Such FFun podcast discusses glove shaming and consent between partners in Season 2 | Episode 6 - (FF Tops):
Standard Practices
Standard Practices refers to common sense behaviors related to fisting activities. There are four standard practices related to gloves.
If you use gloves to prevent introducing microorganisms into the fist chute, then timing for donning gloves is critical.
Help the bottom get situated in the sling or fisting arena, then put your gloves on immediately before penetration.
Anecdotal Narrative
Figure 3-4: Early Contamination
Helping a bottom into the stirrups after donning gloves is counterproductive. Gloves become contaminated prior to entering the hole.
Larry Shockey, the originator of FISTFEST, shares this piece of advice in his book, the Sacred Art of Fisting:
"I’ve seen lots of tops glove up, put the bottom’s feet into the stirrups, adjust the chains, arrange the papers on the floor, and then reach for the lube. NO! NO! NO! I’ve even had tops drop a glove on the floor and bend down to retrieve it to put it on. NO! Gloves are cheap. It’s easy to forget. Just throw away the contaminated glove and get a clean one."
Most venues are not built with post-fisting cleanup in mind. Sinks may be too shallow to wash. Soap may be unavailable. Faucets may have restricted water output.
Outdoor venues or semi-public areas usually lack proper cleanup facilities.
Bring and wear gloves when playing at these venues—especially if you are fisting more than one person.
Anecdotal Narrative
Figure 3-5: Limited Facilities
Glove use decreases cleanup time and cross contamination of bottoms in venues with limited washing facilities.
I coordinated my first trip to Amsterdam to coincide with the Dirty Dicks monthly fisting party at the Amsterdam Eagle. I packed a small gear bag with lube, poppers, and gloves and headed to the venue to play.
The event did not disappoint. I bottomed for four different guys and topped six. Unfortunately, I only brought four pair of gloves. This led to a little predicament with Rene, my last bottom.
"I'd love to feel your guts when we are done with him" I told Rene as we alternated our hands in and out of Jon's gaping hole.
"Great, I'll go get ready" he replied and promptly disappeared to prep himself and lay claim to a sling.
Meanwhile, Jon had enough pummeling and called for a break-break. I cleaned him up and thanked him for the pleasure of playing inside him, S2S. Then I headed to the bathroom to clean up.
Although I hadn't noticed before (since I had worn gloves), the sink was incredibly shallow and the water only stayed on for a few seconds at a time. Jon was into width-play, so my arms were lube free, but it took ten minutes to completely wash just my hands. After finishing, I hustled out to the sling to delve into Rene's fagpit.
"I was beginning to think you had stood me up" Rene said as I approached.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that cleaning up after Jon would take so much work. The sinks here are shallow and leave much to be desired."
"Well, my desire is for your hand and arm. And my hole, it is anything but shallow! Push it in."
If you are wearing gloves for hygienic reasons, you still need to wash your hands and lower forearms between partners.
Most gloves cover about about 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) up the wrist. The anal canal is that same length, if not a bit longer. This means that as a top playing with shallow bottoms, your wrist and lower forearm is still likely be exposed to lube. Any deeper play guarantees exposure unless you are wearing opera length gloves.
Washing the hands and forearms prevents transfering microorganisms into your bottom.
Anecdotal Narrative
Figure 3-6: Full Arm Cleanse
While you may not need to scrub up to the shoulder, basic fisting typically exposes the lower forearm (above the glove line) to lube.
Erik and I had just wrapped up an intense fisting session where his small arms had slipped in past the elbow—a first for him. He had used both the right and left arms with depth play, but per my request, primarily played with the left arm.
After I said "OK, I'm done!", I asked him to hand me the paper towel roll.
"Oh, I'll clean you up good!" He said.
"I know you will, but it's not me that I'm worried about" I interupted. "Here, give me your arm."
I ripped three full squares of paper towels from the roll and laid them across my chest. Eric placed his arm on the squares, and I wrapped the edges around, covering his arm completely. I then carefully slid the towels down his arm until we passed the fingers.
"What's this for?" he asked.
"I find that if we don't squeegee the lube off now, your sink time will be 5-10 minutes clearing lube off your arm. And while it doesn't matter here with just the two of us and my deep sink, at events, you may not have the luxury of good washing facilities to clean up between bottoms. So when you wrap up with a deep bottom, always clean your arm first before starting on the bottom." I responded.
"Okay, I guess. I still don't understand why" he said, as he began wiping lube from my ass.
"You'll see in a few minutes."
Fast forward eight minutes. Eric is at the sink, scrubbing desparately on his right arm. Since the lube had already dried on this arm, we didn't squeegee it immediately after the session ended.
"I get your point! I've never had to spend this much time cleaning up because I've never had lube this high. The left arm was easy, but this right arm is taking forever."
"Can you imagine if you were playing with a group! High cleanup takes a while, so do what you can to minimize your efforts, but always - always - always respect your bottom and clean up your entire arm so he isn't exposed to contaminants from the last guy."

The following instructional guide(s) will help you:
Procedure...
Measure Hand For Glove Size
Steps / Procedure
Lay your extended measuring tape on a flat surface with the measurement side facing down.
Position your hand on the tape. Your hand will be:
Palm down
Five centimeters (two inches) from the end of the tape
Intersecting the tape perpendicularly, with one end just below the pinky and the other end in the crook of the thumb and index finger
Wrap both ends of the tape over the top of your hand.
Mark the measurement where the tape intersects.
Use the size chart to determine your glove size.
Figure 4-9: Intercept Point
Glove size is determined based on the circumference measured with a flat palm.
If you do not have a measuring tape, take a sheet of letter or legal paper and wrap it around your hand as directed above. Use the long side of the paper, as most hands are eight to ten inches around. Mark where the paper meets, then use a ruler to determine the length of the marked paper.
