I wouldn’t usually link to Atrios as he has plenty of linkage already and doeesn’t need our paltry contribution to his hit-count, but this one’s a real doozy.
It came up in the context of Ann Coulter, though you may wish to find the industrial-size Q-tips to floss your brain out after contemplating Coulter and fisting in the same paragraph.

Fisting and God’s Will
Over and over in the scriptures, the hand and fist of God are described as a symbol of His awesome power and the means through which this power manifests: “O God, God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven above and ruler of all kingdoms below?

The biblical significance of the hand is important, because in the act of fisting, one partner (usually male) inserts his entire hand and fist into the vagina or rectum of his partner.

Powerful Yet Gentle
In the Song of Solomon, the Bible describes the act of fisting and the profound erotic bliss it induces: It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, “Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one??My love thrust his hand through the opening, and my feelings were stirred for him. (Song of Solomon 5:2-4) Here we see the lover gently coaxing his companion to open up to him, metaphorically ?knocking at her door,? preparing her sexually and emotionally to receive his hand inside her.
FFS, people, if it feels good, just do it. The pre and -post-facto religious rationalisations are unnecessary excep to assuage your own buttoned-up guilt, and besides, you’re fooling no-one dressing it up in religious drag. Get over yourselves.
Sad, sad fuckers. Up yours, fundies.
