A member asked:
Do i always have to wash my hands before vaginal fingering my partner? i only wash my hands thoroughly after emptying my bowels and if i have been outside and touched many surfaces. i am confused but am i being overly anxious about this?

Anxiety: Is your anxiety more about causing damage in the act of fingering or having your hands clean in general? Regardless, the answer would be wash your hands as that will eliminate the resulting anxiety. Fingering can cause mechanical trauma and having clean hands before and after would eliminate the chance for an infection.
