Fingering

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Fingering is a sexual activity that involves the use of fingers to stimulate the genitals. It can be performed on oneself (masturbation) or by another person. Fingering can involve the vagina, clitoris, or anus.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Fingering is a common form of masturbation. It is often used as a form of foreplay, but can also be a primary sexual activity. Fingering can be performed on both men and women, and can involve one or more fingers.

Techniques[edit | edit source]

There are many different techniques for fingering. Some people prefer a gentle touch, while others prefer more pressure. The technique can also vary depending on the specific area being stimulated. For example, the clitoris is often stimulated with a gentle, circular motion, while the vagina or anus may be penetrated with one or more fingers.

Safety[edit | edit source]

While fingering is generally considered a safe sexual activity, there are some risks involved. These include the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and physical injury. To reduce these risks, it is important to use a clean hand, and to be gentle to avoid causing any physical harm.
