Finger banging (also called “fingerbang” or “finger banging”) is a slang, vulgar term for using one or more fingers to sexually stimulate another person’s genitals or anus, usually by rubbing or inserting the fingers for pleasure.

Because this is a sexual act, a few safety and consent basics always matter: make sure everyone clearly agrees to what’s happening, have clean and trimmed hands to reduce the risk of irritation or infection, and avoid any pressure, pain, or coercion.
