Any risks when not douching?

Unread post by suomi »

I only want to do anal fingering, nothing else. I go and clean my rectum with my fingers before fingering. Is there any risks of coming into contact with feces?

Hi suomi,

Generally speaking, things like using lube, latex gloves, and practicing good handwashing are a bigger part of safer anal masturbation than making sure you use an enema.

There are some risks of coming into contact with feces, including Hepatitis A if there is contact between fecal matter and the mouth. If you're curious, you can read more about that and how to prevent it here: https://www.scarleteen.com/article/sexu ... _hepatitis
