{{Note|handball|A}}''"Fisting"'' and ''"handballing"'' are often used interchangeably, but some consider the former term to be crude or violent and perceive the latter as more closely associated with "intimate love-making and spiritual communion."<ref name="Herrman" /><ref name=":25" />[[File:Red rose with black background.jpg|alt=Picture of a red rose|thumb|A blooming rose is a common symbol and metaphor for fisting]]
