My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year. We both have yet to get tested, and in the meantime are practice safe sex without intercourse (we are still virgins). When it comes to fingering, we have always used sterile gloves with a water-based lubricant. Throughout the first month, there was no issue. Afterwards, I began to bleed within 10 to 15 minutes in. Sometimes I bled a little where it's slightly brown, and other times I bled a lot and it's very red. When heavy bleeding occurs, there is usually no more than a quarter of a teaspoon. Out of all the times, I feel no pain whatsoever afterwards.
We've been using the same gloves and lubrication due to the fact that there was nothing wrong in the first month, indicating no allergies to both. We both understand that water-based lubrication tends to dry out quicker than others, so we re-lubricate about every 4 to 5 minutes, however, it does not seem to prevent the bleeding. He also keeps his nails short as well.
My question is, will bare fingers suggest the same result? I am very wary about bleeding even after we both get checked.
Thanks!
