If bleeding is in small quantity and occurs rarely then it might not be serious but need evaluation to know the cause.

Question

I'm really concerned about this habit I've developed of inserting my finger into my anus. I did it yesterday, and a couple of hours later, when I did it again, I noticed this slimy, jelly-like stuff on my finger. There's no blood, pain, or any other symptoms, but this always seems to happen when I do it again soon after the first time. Is this slime supposed to be there? Does the fingering cause it? I've read online that other people who've done anal fingering have noticed it too, so is it always present? I really want to stop this habit, and I'm feeling worried. Please guide me on what to do.
