Putting a....: ...Finger inside a vagina is not dangerous per se, but always maintain good hygiene and safe sex practices to avoid infection and sexually transmitted diseases. If the inserted fingers cause pain, then the hand might be pressing too hard, the finger penetrating too deeply, or there might be too many fingers.
