Hi Aunt Vadge,
My boyfriend fingered me (no sperms on his hand). It started to hurt a few minutes later.
I’m supposed to get my period but it hasn’t come yet. And I get cravings a lot.
Does fingering affect your body?
Sincerely,

Dear Affected,
Fingering does not affect your body, but it can affect your vagina – that’s why your vagina started to hurt. The pain may have been due to your boyfriend being too rough when fingering you. You could have a tear or cut inside your vagina, which could be causing you some discomfort. (You could both benefit from reading Fingering Basics.)
Fingering cannot change the function of your body, like when you get your period, or the way digestion does. It’s a physical activity, like getting a massage or scratching an itch. So, it isn’t the fingering that has delayed your period or given you cravings.
When you are about to get your period, your hormones change, and cravings can be a premenstrual symptom. There are all sorts of period symptoms that you will experience over your lifetime, like tender breasts, mood changes, and bloating.
You may not get all of them, or all of them at once, and because your body changes over time, the signs of your period may come and go.

Write anytime!
Warmest regards,
Aunt Vadge
