Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Fingering is sexual stimulation of the vulva (including the clitoris) or vagina by using the fingers.[1] Vaginal fingering is legally and medically called digital penetration or digital penetration of the vagina. The term "digital" takes its significance from the English word 'digit', which refers to a finger, thumb, or toe.[2] Fingering may also include the use of fingers to stimulate the anus.[3]
When someone performs fingering on another person's vulva or vagina, it is a form of manual sex, and is analogous to a handjob (manual stimulation of the penis).[4][5] It may be used for sexual arousal or foreplay, constitute an entire sexual encounter,[5] or be used as non-penetrative sexual activity.[6]
Fingering performed on one's own vulva or vagina is a form of masturbation.
