Sexual relations can be extremely risky and fingers can actually carry herpes (both genital and oral), HPV, and other STDs/STIs. If you are only interested in figuring out about your own body, make sure your wash your hands thoroughly and scrub under your nails. Know that things like HPV can live in your nailbed anyway though so really give this thought before jumping on in there.
The other answerer is correct in saying that you also insert tampons in the same area; however, you may not be a tampon user (which is totally okay) so you may still be lost with the lack of information there.
Your body has three "holes" down there. The first (closest to your front) is your urethra and this is where you urinate from. The second hole is your vaginal canal and this is where babies and menstrual blood exit from. The third is your anus and that is where your solid wastes exit you from.
Here is a decent diagram of how these three holes are laid out on your body:
As you can see, your vaginal opening is much larger than your urethra and is much higher up than your anal opening. Your vagina will also be a lot more moist in and around it than the other holes.
If you have never applied tampons you may also have a hymen still in tact. The hymen usually has a small hole in it leading to the inside of the vagina. A hymen is made of very thin tissue and it is fairly easy to tear or stretch. It's located at the entrance to the vagina so, actually, it isn't inside of the vagina. The hole is there to allow menstrual blood to escape the body and is usually too small to accommodate an entire penis to enter the vagina without being stretched.
Here is a link to different kinds of hymens a woman may have:
I hope I've cleared some things up for you and you are better able to understand your body. If you have any questions regarding this subject please feel free to ask me! :) [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
