finger work

Hands-on technique practice

Finger work is skilled manual dexterity, especially the technique of using one's fingers in playing a musical instrument: Her finger work on the piano is extraordinary.

The term extends to any task requiring precise finger movements—typing, knitting, surgical procedures.

In sexual contexts, finger work refers to manual stimulation of a partner's genitals.
