Fist Club Europe e.V. is a registered association based in Berlin that advocates for education, prevention, and advocacy surrounding a sexual practice that still receives too little attention in politics, medicine, and the public sphere. The association operates internationally and sees itself as an umbrella organization for initiatives, clubs, and individuals who want to advance this work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membership is not just a formal act. It is a decision to ensure that these issues become visible, that medical education remains easily accessible, and that people who practice fisting can network and support each other \u2013 across national borders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming a member helps us build something that doesn\u2019t yet exist: a registered, democratically structured, internationally networked organization for an issue that many would prefer to leave unspoken. That\u2019s precisely why we\u2019re needed.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Two ways to become a member<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to \u00a7 4 of our statutes, the association has three types of membership: ordinary members, supporting members, and honorary members. You can actively join as an ordinary member or a supporting member. Which form is right for you or your organization depends on how you want to get involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full membership \u2013 have a say, help shape the future<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ordinary membership is primarily aimed at organizations, legal entities, and legally constituted initiatives that actively support the goals of our association and wish to contribute to their realization. In justified individual cases, the board may also admit natural persons as ordinary members if they are particularly closely connected to the association’s purpose in terms of content or structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
