A member asked:

Is it okay to use vaginal fluid as lubricant for anal fingering?

Dr. Herman Hammerstead answered

Specializes in Trauma Surgery

Yes: But don't go from anus to Vagina due to cross contamination of the vagina/urethra with colonic bacteria. Like you have been told to wipe from front to back
