Does fingering hurt?

I have gotten close to sticking my finger in but I am scared to. I really want to but I don't know if I want to hurt myself.

Hey sweetie, I understand it can be a little frightening the first time that you finger yourself. It was frightening for me too!

Before you actually go ahead with it, you should consider what it might cause.
If you are still a virgin (and I'm assuming you are) you probably know about your hymen. It's a thin tissue that's around your vaginal opening. When you lose your virginity in the future, the hymen breaks or is stretched open (also called popping your cherry). by fingering yourself, you may accidently break your hymen, and if you wanted it to break when you lose your virginity, then your plans could be ruined. So be very careful about that. 1 finger won't break your hymen if you're careful, but 2 fingers are very likely to break it.

If you want to masturbate without fingering, you can rub your clitoris instead. It's the best thing for virgins, and still feels amazing.

To answer your question, fingering at first feels a little odd, because you're not used to anything being in there. But if you start out gently, use spit to lubricate your finger, cut your fingernails, and give yourself plenty of time, then it'll feel alright. Then, once you get used to it, it starts feeling really good.
