And, to go a step further, is the practise of fist-fucking not the exemplary case of what Deleuze called the "expansion of a concept"? The fist is put to a new use; the notion of penetration is expanded into the combination of the hand with sexual penetration, into the exploration of the inside of a body. No wonder Foucault, Deleuze's Other, practised fisting: is fist-fucking not the sexual invention of the twentieth century, the first model of postsexual eroticism and pleasure? It is no longer genitalised but focused just on the penetration of the surface, with the role of the phallus being taken over by the hand, the autonomous partial object par excellence. (Slavoj Zizek, Organs Without Bodies: On Deleuze and Consequences, 2004, p 184).

see you can tell zizek hasn't been fisted or thought much about it at all - fisting is not aboutpenetration, nor is it to do with the superfice - it's to do with occupation of a space, with becoming joined, with swallowing not piercing... not to mention there's nothing to penetrate, the anus being a hole that has never represented absence - to the contrary often over-flowing fullness but in bodily terms the muscle is the only thing to be penetrated and yet it opens up to the fist, providing more space, schlurping around... to pierce the flesh with a sword or a bullet is to damage and destory, to make a hole where none was before; whereas fisting, if done properly, is to make a whole where there was just hole before.

so if the connexion between these two machines in fisting makes another whole how would you explain fisting in terms of desiring-production?
