I posted a question about fisting on another board and everyone seemed to freak out. I was wondering is anyone else into it? Or is that topic really frowned upon around here?

Re: Possibly taboo
I'd say you're pretty safe to ask the question here.
although I know nothing about it so wouldn't be one of the ones answering.
Are you referring to the post/discussion about fisting in order to stretch out your vagina in preparation for childbirth? I think that is why everyone freaked out a bit.
A woman's body is designed to squeeze out a child when the time comes, under normal circumstances. A pregnant woman's body produces various hormones that help with the stretching of vaginal muscles. The only preparation you really need to do beforehand would possibly be some yoga or stretches of the kind in order to make yourself more limber (possibly) and more toned for the birthing process.
It is not so much that it is frowned upon as it is thought of as really bizarre.
A vagina is much like a balloon: you keep stretching it out over prolonged periods of time, sooner or later it will not snap back. Better to leave well enough alone.
If you are still unsure, consult your OB/GYN and see what he/she thinks of fisting.
okay fisting to make it easier for childbirth? listen to PP, if this was something women should do it would be in at least one of the trillion what to expect books.
I thought you were talking about fisting for pleasure.
Let Mother Nature take care of that, the same way as it's been taken care of naturally since childbirth began.
I'm usually over at TB, but having seen that you want to do this in preparation for childbirth, I just had to say something.
I had our son 2 1/2 months ago, tore some, had to have stitches (I honestly didn't want to ask how many) and within one week I was feeling very healed up. The female body is amazing, with it's ability to stretch so much for childbirth, and return to normal after a relatively short amount of time.
Only a few weeks after pushing out our son's 13 1/2" head, DH told me that sex feels the same for him as it did before and we are enjoying the post-childbirth vag very much.
Repeatedly trying to stretch it out beforehand will only put you at a disadvantage after you give birth. Just try massage, kegels, and staying relaxed, and your body will do what it needs to when the time comes!
Mommy loves you Eevee!

I can honestly say I just laughed so hard I almost peed a little.
