Understanding more about rimming
Rimming is the term for licking around the anus. It’s something that has close associations to gay sex but people of all genders and sexualities can indulge in rimming. It’s all about giving, and can be a really fun way to worship a really sexy butt.
It can be performed on its own, as part of oral sex or other sexual acts and needs no specialist gear but it is best to be squeaky clean to start with so that everyone is relaxed and ready to go. It might be a great way to get dirty but you don’t want real dirt, right?
What is rimming?
Rimming is licking around the anus but can also involve stroking, kissing and insertion of the tongue inside the asshole. It’s different for everyone who gives it a go as we all have our own certain style.
Do I need to have an enema or douche before I get rimmed?
It’s definitely a conversation to have with your partner(s), as they may want you to be clean internally too. Other people are happy as long as you’ve showered and cleaned as best as you can down there. Of course, if you want to clean internally then do it. It’s imperative you feel comfortable too but it isn’t completely necessary.
Is rimming safe?
As STIs can be transferred by rimming it is counted as unsafe sex unless you use protection (a dental dam) if you don’t want to use a dental dam then it’s advisable to have a sexual health check before going in. Also never move from anus to vagina when rimming. That can transfer bacteria and cause infections.
I’m a straight man and I like being rimmed does that make me gay?
Loving the feeling of someone licking in and around your bumhole doesn’t change your sexuality. Rimming is something that all kinds of people enjoy. The anus and perineum (the bit between ass and balls) are filled with nerve endings that make all kinds of contact feel good. So just enjoy it and don’t worry.
