"Fingering" is touching a woman's sex organs externally (the vulva or clitoris), internally (by penetrating the vagina) or both.

It's often called "masturbation" when a person is stimulating herself, and "fingering" when touching someone else.

As with this and any other sexual activity, you should always feel comfortable about what you are doing and who you are doing it with.

Sometimes fingering leads to orgasm. But even when there is no orgasm, fingering often feels pleasurable.

Some people experience pain when they are being fingered. This can generally be avoided by slowing down, using less force or fewer fingers and applying lubricant.

You can't get pregnant from fingering and the practice carries a relatively low risk of disease. A disease can, however, be transmitted if there are open vaginal sores or warts and cuts on the finger, so in such cases, latex barriers (glove or female condom) are recommended.
