Fingering (sexual act)
Fingering is the act of touching the vulva (usually the clitoris) or the vagina and sometimes the anus for the purpose of sexual stimulation with the fingers. It is like handjob, the stimulation of the penis using a hand. It is a common form of foreplay[1] [2] or mutual masturbation. To "finger oneself" is to masturbate in this way.[3]
Digital penetration is penetration (for example sexual penetration) with one or more fingers.
Vaginal fingering
changeVaginal fingering can end in orgasm. It also may or may not include the entire sexual encounter. It may be part of foreplay or part of a start to other sexual activities. These activities can provide sexual pleasure to a partner when penetrative intercourse is not possible or desirable for whatever reason.
Anal fingering
changeFingering of the anus and rectum is commonly enjoyed in preparation for further anal sex. Anal fingering can arouse a person, allowing them to relax their anus and prepare them for the insertion of a penis or a dildo.
Safety
changeThe practice is generally considered safe sex as long as the hands are protected with latex gloves.[4]
