I meant it as a form of self defense, not anal pleasure.
Now go zipper up your pants.....son.

Probably equal, but punching would be more efficient.

I will knock you out with an open palm then fist you.

In either case force would be produced from the torso, shoulder and arm...

So with either hand technique, "force" would be the same -

(You have more reach with a closed fist)

I'm just thinking about that ball punching video, in which case I think an open palm would be worse

 

[Steele20]

palm is probably safer

You can't throw a right hook with your palm.

Well you could...it's called a bitch slap.

 

[Steele20]

no but you can easily break their nose or jaw with your palm without taking a chance on breaking a finger.

 

[tucker01]

All depends on how you punch... The palm and fist don't create force

who pissed you off?

who pissed you off?

No one, I was just wondering.

I would think hitting someone with the palm of your hand to the nostrol would be naturally quicker and more effective.
I guess both have their uses.
