How to Eat Ass
Rimming has a moment. Long considered a more “advanced” sexual activity, it has been added to the repertoire of people who would describe themselves as pretty vanilla. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re interested in trying out rimming.
What is it
Rimming (also known as analingus) is defined as kissing and licking your partner’s anus and rectum. (The anus is the outside, the rectum is the inside)
Why you should try
The answer is simple – because it’s so nice! The anus has nerve endings and is stimulated. Since rimming is still considered taboo, giving and receiving rim jobs also causes illegal arousal. By the way, people of any gender and any sexual orientation can enjoy rimming.
Of course, as with any sexual activity, you need to get your partner’s enthusiastic consent before proceeding. Rimming is not the best thing to do to catch someone off guard.
Prepare for the rim
The recipient of the rim must first bathe. You can incorporate this into your foreplay by jumping into the shower together and lathering each other. If a shower is financially impossible, at least do a thorough cleaning with a damp cloth. If you’re really worried about cleanliness, you can cleanse yourself with an enema beforehand. But this is a pretty intense step that is unnecessary. Only do this if it helps you relax enough to enjoy the rimming.
If the giver is male, he may consider shaving off his facial scruff. Shkir is quite controversial. Some people like the extra stimulation of their hair, while others find it uncomfortable. You can exercise caution and get rid of your five o’clock shadow. Longer facial hair is usually fine as it is much softer.
Enjoy the recipient
If your partner gets a rim job for the first time, they are bound to get a little nervous. It is best to relax and excite them by doing a lot of foreplay. Plus, rimming isn’t as good as it gets when you start it right away.
For foreplay, do what you usually enjoy. Then start fondling their ass. Wrap your hands around their cheeks and squeeze. Run your fingertip over where your buttocks meet your thighs. You can also kiss and lick their cheeks. Tease your partner along his gluteal cleft, starting to work towards the anus without hitting it.
To take a position
When your partner is ready to go, put him in his place. The best position for rimming is to keep the receiving partner on all fours on the bed. Depending on the height of your bed, you can stand or kneel behind them on the floor or on the bed. Continue to lick and caress their entire body to arouse them even more.
Use protection
Transmission of STIs through the analngus is possible. You can also transmit hepatitis A, B, and C along with other diseases. If you are not connected to your partner with smooth bonds, you need to use protection to surround him. Dental dam goes well with rimming. Or, you can cut open a condom without lubrication (condoms with lubricant or spermicide will taste unpleasant) and spread it over your anus.
Another caveat: if your partner is female, don’t lick from anus to vagina. The vagina is sensitive to external bacteria and can become irritated or infected.
Lubricate
Since the rectum is not self-lubricating, you need to keep it nice and moist. Be sure to use a lot of saliva. If you like, you can also use a flavored lubricant made for oral sex. If you are using protection, be sure to wet it under and over the barrier. This will help convey the sensation better, making the barrier less like a barrier.
The basics
The rimming process itself is not that difficult – just work your tongue around the anus. Walking in circles is the easiest technique. You can adjust the diameter of the circles by moving further apart and then getting closer. Or try doing eights by crossing the anus itself.
If you and your partner enjoy a rimming adventure, try squeezing their cheeks and spreading them wider. This will open up even more space for you to work and be enjoyable for your partner.
Take it to the next level
If you do analngus to a man, you have more options to explore other areas of his body and then return to the anus (with women, you must be careful not to lick the vagina after licking the anus). Try to play with his crotch and testicles.
Rimming goes well with other types of sexual activity. Try to feel your partner’s anus as you wrap it around. Or stimulate your partner’s breasts, clitoris, vagina, or penis by playing with his anus.
