Anal fingering safety
Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out.
Should one use sterile (surgical) medical latex gloves or are ordinary medical exam latex gloves safe enough?

Hi, is this just for you why your masturbating, or your g/f why you finger her, or for a man friend fingering you or you him? but you must remember in the heat of the moment, stopping to put a glove on, you may find a bit of an action killer, weather gay or straight, I dont think you could add many more germs that are already present, but as long as your clean and finger nails trimmed and buffed down properly, and with lots of lubrecation most of us get by ok.
Good Luck

Yeah, sorry, I've accidently clicked enter before I was finished and there's no edit button so the question might seem incomplete, sorry about that.
Yes, I was wondering whether it's safe to use ordinary non-sterile medical exam gloves for anal fingering, since I have read somewhere sometime ago that while one should obviously be careful about not going with fingers which were used for anal play nowhere else before they are thoroughly cleaned, one should also be careful about not introducing some bacterias which might be found on, say, fingers into the rectum since they might be harmful to the balance of bacterial flora already found there (or something like that). Since I'd rather be safe then sorry I've decided to look around whether non-sterile medical latex exam gloves would be safe enough and since I couldn't find any decisive answer (somewhere it says sterile, somewhere it doesn't, and it seems to me people often mistake exam gloves for sterile even though they aren't) I decided to ask here. So I guess the answer is yes, exam gloves are safe enough?
Thank you.

This is a sexual health forum so I assume that you want to use gloves while doing some sexual activity. Whenever you are doing with wound or cuts, it is safe to use surgical gloves. When there are no wounds you may use ordinary medical gloves. You may also use cot.Cot covers only a finger. When you are using fingers, you may use cots.

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
