Gay rimmer

That is not wise.

‘Flatten your tongue right out, and do long slow licks, starting at the perineum and ending all the way up at the top of the butt,’ George explains.

‘Then stop, check in with your partner, and see how much they’re enjoying themselves, and then start again. Prophylactic regimens with Flagyl are recommended for people who experience repeated infections but love to rim.

In addition, because rimming has the potential to expose you to seeing warts, tags and other issues, it‘s important to add into your routine both oral and anal HPV testing, which involves a Pap smear, as well as internal and external visual evaluations.

Licking the bits around the anus.

Mouth and tongue on butt. Giardia, a microscopic parasite, and other parasites can also be transmitted through feces through rimming.

If you’re not opposed to hair removal, it may be worth removing the hair around your bumhole pre-rimming session.

Why must we mention this? Because the anus is so sensitive, you can play with various sensations.

If switching between the anus and genitals, use a fresh condom or dental dam each time to prevent bacterial infections.

Anecdotal sources suggest the following tips for rimming:

Find a position that is comfortable for each person.
Start by exploring areas surrounding the anus, such as kissing or licking the inner thighs or buttocks.
Depending on what people have discussed, they may experiment with different tongue pressures and movements in and around the opening of the anus.
Notice how a partner reacts and what they enjoy.

Rimming is sexual contact that uses the mouth or tongue to stimulate the anus and surrounding areas.

In addition, avoid any soaps that are too astringent since they can draw moisture front the anal region and make the skin more prone to contracting STIs.

Rim Job Givers

Wash anything you use to penetrate (if you’re penetrating), like sex toys, fingers and other body parts. When people have viral stomach infections, most experience diarrhea or stomach pain, which can be transmitted to you through rimming.

STIs

Practicing safe sex is as important for rimming as in every other sexual act.

This is preventable by making sure the anus is clean beforehand. It’s a great way to add variation to your sex life or to warm things up. People of any gender or sexual orientation can perform rimming or have a partner rim them. However, you should be sure to use plenty of lubrication.

Rim Job Receivers

Because anal rimming involves a body part that comes in contact with fecal matter, make sure to wash your anus thoroughly before getting involved in any sexual activity.

Although there is usually low risk, some of the following STIs can be transmitted through rim jobs:

Hepatitis A – spread through feces
Herpes, known as sacral herpes – spread through skin-to-skin or oral contact
HPV (genital warts) – spread through skin-to-skin contact
Syphilis – spread through skin-to-skin contact
Gonorrhea – spread orally

There are a couple of things you can do to decrease the likelihood of STI transmission during rimming.

Those are usually reserved for play that involves deeper penetration. In fact, you can simply swap out rimming for finger/toy play if a concern is present.

Preparation

If you’re going to get a rim job, you can try stimulating your own anus beforehand to get used to the sensation. Anal rimming can involve inserting the tongue into the anus, circling around it, hence why it‘s called “rimming” or exploring around the rest of the butt area.

The good news is the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, has now been approved for those up to 45 years of age; however, if you are outside this age range, consult with your doctor about receiving the vaccine, as we believe anyone who engages in anal play can benefit from it.

If you have a known history of cold sores, caused by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), you might benefit from a prescription of Valtrex prophylactically.

Some may be able to orgasm from rim jobs, but the way anyone orgasms varies from person to person. Others love to penetrate the anus with the tongue or use the tongue to “make out” with the anus like they would another mouth.

What Is the Best Position for Rimming?

You can experiment to find positions that work for you, but one of the most popular is a modified version of doggie style.

To do this, have the person receiving get down on the floor or bed on all fours.

Some people can orgasm from anal stimulation alone, while others may need to have other genital pleasure zones to be stimulated to be able to reach climax.

Is Rimming Safe?

For the most part, rimming is a relatively safe activity; however, no sexual act is 100% cleared from any kind of risk.

Bacteria

You can get bacterial infections like e.coli and salmonella from rimming.
