Summary

Vaginal fisting is an uncommon and risky sexual practice. It consists of penetrating the vagina with one or both hands. Fisting is practiced as heterosexual, homosexual, or autoerotic activity and may be the cause of vaginal injury and circumjacent organs. The article describes the case of a 33-year old pornographic film actress who developed vaginal injury and heavy bleeding during fisting while filming. Rupture of the vagina was sutured and blood loss was replenished with transfusions.

Keywords:
