Fingering

What is Fingering?

Fingering is the sexual act of stimulating a woman’s vagina using fingers, and it can be performed either by the woman herself or a partner. When the woman does it herself, fingering is part of masturbation. When the woman is assisted by one or more partners, it turns into foreplay.

Fingering 101

Despite being mainly prevalent in masturbation and foreplay, fingering can also be an effective way to make a woman climax. If you want to finger your partner like a pro, here are some things to consider:

• Fingering isn’t just about sticking your fingers inside the vagina. Truth be told, the clitoris is where most of the action happens, so don’t forget about it;
• Fingering doesn’t need to involve just the vulva and vagina, and it should include the stimulation of other erogenous zones of the body. A gentle fingering of the anus, for example, is great foreplay for anal sex;
• While fingering doesn’t exactly require lube, a little extra moisture is always welcome in the bedroom!

Finally, the sex experts at Men’s Health magazine also highlight the importance of communication and building anticipation.

Fingers to the Rescue!

Did you know that, while 41% of men orgasm every time they have sex, the same only happens to 14% of women? There’s a real gap in male vs. female orgasms, but fingering is the perfect solution to level things up in the bedroom.

If you or your partner are having trouble cumming, practicing fingering and mutual masturbation may be one of the best methods for each of you to understand the other person’s body a little bit better.
