Ass licking is awesome! It sounds a little unusual at first because the anal region isn’t primarily designed for sex. However, rimming in this area is so arousing for many people because there are a lot of nerve endings in the external sphincter and at the entrance to the anus, which you can stimulate very gently and precisely or intensely and vigorously with your tongue. There are, of course, different positions and techniques for this. If you want to learn more, just keep reading.
Rimming: How anilingus works
Before you try rimming, you should first decide whether a rim job is right for you and/or your partner. For some people, the idea of using their tongue in the place where the body relieves itself is associated with unpleasant feelings or even disgust. However, if you prepare yourself properly, the anal region is a completely normal, highly erogenous zone of the body.
Take your time the first time. You and your partner should definitely take it slow. Jumping right in with your tongue in the anus can be counterproductive. It’s best to use your fingers first and caress the anal region. Your partner’s reaction will probably show you how arousing each touch is. After using your fingers, start by slowly licking around the anus and then carefully approach the actual “site of the pleasurable action.” You can then see if you enjoyed this journey and want to continue.
The best positions for a rim job
Depending on your preference, you can carefully try out different rimming positions. Whether in doggy style or facesitting, as long as both partners remain relaxed and feel pleasure, you can try out any position:
1. Rim job in doggy style or anilingus from behind
As the active partner, you lick your passive partner, who is kneeling on all fours in front of you. You kneel directly behind your partner. This gives you full access to the place of bliss.
2. Rimming in the missionary position
The active partner licks the passive partner, who is lying on their back. Their legs are raised and bent, and they can rest their feet on the shoulders of the active partner, for example. They pull their knees toward their chest. Some people use a pillow for support.
3. Facesitting rim
The active partner lies on their back, and the passive partner sits on their face and lets themselves be pleasured. This position requires a lot of strength and endurance in the thighs of the passive partner. If the bed has a stable headboard, they can support themselves against it or the wall.
4. Standing rim job
The active partner kneels or sits while the passive partner stands in front of them and sticks their butt out. This position leaves the active partner with both hands free to pleasure their partner further, for example by working on their best asset.
5. Rimming in the prone position
In this position, the passive partner lies on their stomach and spreads their legs apart. The active partner kneels behind them between their legs and has free access when they lean forward. To get even better access to the anus, the active partner can pull the partner’s buttocks apart. Sometimes the passive partner takes on this task themselves.
6. Sling rim
In this position, the passive partner lies completely relaxed in the sling, their legs spread and tied up. The active partner can then pleasure them with their tongue while standing or kneeling. When the hot tongue play is over, the tongue is replaced by the cock.
It’s all about the right technique
In addition to the positions, technique also plays an important role in rimming because it determines the intensity of the rim job. Rimming belongs to the category of oral sex. You stimulate your partner’s anus with your lips and tongue. However, there are two different types of stimulation in rim jobs:
· Superficial: The anus is caressed and licked with the tongue. The rough tongue stimulates the countless nerve endings located there. With this technique, your tongue does not penetrate the anus but remains outside the body.
· Penetration: Your tongue penetrates the anus until it reaches the perineum. This creates an even more intense sensation because your tongue is not only warm but also very wet. Some people use their fingers or sex toys in addition to their tongue.
Who does a rim job stimulate? How does it feel?
Rim jobs are more commonly discussed in the gay scene, and scenes involving them are also very common in most porn. Nevertheless, rimming can of course be a very exciting form of play for people of all sexual orientations and genders. It is probably the embarrassment of communicating that you are literally letting someone lick your ass that makes many people shy away from the topic in conversations with friends or acquaintances.
What should you pay attention to in terms of hygiene?
In principle, rimming involves a sensitive area of the body, which is why you and your “play partner” should pay close attention to hygiene. Just take a shower together. There you can soap each other up, which can be very erotic foreplay in itself. The use of an anal douche is not necessary as preparation. Newbies with no experience with such aids should be especially careful. If used incorrectly, anal douches can irritate the tissue or cause infections.
Don’t forget that sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis A, herpes, and HPV can also be transmitted through the anus, especially if you are active there with your mouth. You should pay particular attention to hygiene with new partners whom you do not know well yet.
Important tip: If you use rimming as foreplay for sex or anal sex, you should not return to the penis with your tongue afterwards. Any intestinal bacteria that may be stuck to your tongue can lead to infections. The same applies to your fingers, of course.
Conclusion: Rimming is erotic pleasure with the tongue
As you can see, your tongue isn’t just for licking stamps or cleaning your plate. It can also give your partner pleasure in all sorts of places. Many men describe pleasuring the anus with the tongue as a highly erotic treat that has brought many to orgasm without any further stimulation. Just try it for yourself. You’ll realize how hot it can be when you stroke your own anus with your index finger. With a warm, wet tongue, the sensation is many times more intense and arousing.
