Sperm needs to come into contact with the vagina for pregnancy to occur. Fingering is very unlikely to introduce sperm to the vagina and cause pregnancy, but it can happen. In this article, we cover possible situations in which fingering could lead to pregnancy. We also cover birth control options and when to see a doctor. Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell joins with a mature egg cell in the fallopian tube. Sperm must enter the vagina for fertilization to take place. Pregnancy will not occur as long as ejaculate, or semen, does not enter the vagina. Semen — which contains sperm and fluids — is what the penis releases during orgasm. Fingering alone does not allow sperm to enter the vagina. However, there is a chance that fingering may lead to pregnancy if semen is present on the fingers or hand.

Finger banging is an underrated art. When done right, it's incredibly hot. But whether you're new to sex or an unofficial vagina expert, fingering can be incredibly intimidating — everyone has different preferences, and hey, anatomy is complicated. They say sex is like pizza: When it's bad, it's still good. We beg to differ, especially when it comes to sex with your hands.
What is vaginismus?
Vaginismus is when the muscles around the vagina tighten involuntarily whenever there is an attempt to penetrate it. The symptoms can vary from one woman to the next. Some women are unable to insert anything into their vagina because it closes up completely, some women can insert a tampon but are unable to have sex, and others are able to have sex but find it very painful. Read more about the symptoms of vaginismus. As vaginismus can disrupt or completely stop your sex life, it often causes distress and relationship problems. It may even prevent you starting a family. It can also make gynaecological and pelvic examinations difficult or impossible. In some cases, an anaesthetic painkilling medication may be needed before a doctor can carry out an examination. If you've never been able to have sex because of the condition, it's referred to as primary vaginismus.
Finger cots are often used to keep finger wounds dry but can also be used for safer sex when fingering or performing an anal massage. Finger cots can be purchased online and in some drugstores. You can also make them by cutting a finger off a latex or nitrile glove. They can reduce the risk of certain sexually transmitted diseases STDs like HPV which can affect fingers and other exposed areas of skin. Finger cots can even be stretched over smaller sex toys or vibrators to prevent fomite infection transmission of an STD from an object. Although finger cots were a standard part of HIV education in the s and s, they're not as commonly used today. However, they are available in most drugstores, typically in the wound care section, and can be purchased online. For most people, gloves are easier to use. They cover all of the hand and, if sized correctly, fit like a second skin. With gloves, you don't have to think as much during sex or worry about exposed skin.
