What Is A Rim Job?
A rim job is a sex act where one partner uses their mouth and tongue to stimulate their partner’s anus. Known by various names like rimming, analingus, peach munching, eating ass, or ‘tossing salad’, it involves a combination of licking, kissing, and sucking around the anal opening. Since it’s a fairly advanced and intimate sex act it’s an expression of desire that takes trust and comfort to a whole new level. And for many couples, eating their partner’s ass becomes a part of foreplay, especially as a warm-up to butt sex or any other sex for that matter.
Why are people doing it? Well, eating booty itself can be incredibly sensual and pleasurable, thanks to the abundance of sensitive nerve endings in the external anal area. This versatility is what makes ass eating a distinct and adventurous element in the bedroom. Just keep it safe—consider using a dental dam for that extra layer of protection and peace of mind.
What Does Rimming Feel Like?
Experiencing rimming is like embarking on a sensory expedition filled with intense and unexpected pleasures. The moment your partner’s mouth and tongue venture into your anus, a world of sensations erupts. Thanks to all your nerve endings.

Is It Safe To Eat Ass?
Yes, eating ass is generally safe. But it’s a bit like handling a gourmet recipe – you’ve got to prep your ingredients properly. First off, cleanliness is paramount. A good, thorough shower is usually all you need. You can do a visual and sniff test just to make sure everything is to your liking. Think of it as the ‘mise en place’ in your sensual kitchen. Inviting your partner to join you in the shower especially after you’ve had your bowel movement can not only ensure cleanliness but also add a fun, flirty twist to the whole process. It’s teamwork with a cheeky edge!
For those who like to go the extra mile, there’s the option of an enema or douche but it’s typically not needed. You can read this how-to anal douche guide for more tips on the right way of doing it.
Why is cleanliness essential? Mixing anal bacteria with the vagina is not a good idea as it can lead to infections like UTIs and even the risk of transferring harmful gut bacteria like E-coli. It’s also important to make it the last act after going down south as you don’t want to spread anything nasty to the vagina area. It’s the cleaner, safer way to go.
Finally, if you’re feeling extra cautious about STIs, throw in a dental dam [1] or a condom to really avoid butt bacteria from transferring. Your health and pleasure, are sorted.
Do Women Like Rimming?
Yes, rimming is an anal sexual experience that some women enjoy. However, it’s important to know that sexual preferences are deeply personal and not everyone is open to such an idea. Rimming is still considered taboo, akin to breaking a societal norm. Each individual and couple has their own set of boundaries and comfort levels in the bedroom, and what works for one might not be appealing to another. So before performing anal sex, ask your partner first even if it might feel awkward on your end. Consent is sexy!
How About Men?
Can men enjoy a tongue up their ass? Absolutely, eating ass is not gender-specific. Think of it as a universal pleasure pass, available to all who dare to venture. Just like women, men are equipped with a wealth of nerve endings surrounding anal areas. Ever heard of the rusty trombone? A quick search on Pornhub reveals that this sex act is highly pleasurable and popular!
There’s a common misconception that gay men are the only ones enjoying rimming, but this is as outdated as thinking you can’t wear white after Labor Day. Straight men do as well. Pleasure is pleasure, irrespective of gender or orientation, and it’s high time we embrace that!
How To Eat Ass Like A Porn Star!
It’s all about combining technique with a touch of finesse. You can even say it’s a culinary journey of sorts, but instead of food, your trusty best friend (your tongue) explores a whole different kind of delicacy. Let’s break down this ass eating tips:
1. Cleanliness & Preparation: First thing is to have your butthole ready before your partner chows down. Consider telling your partner to shave or trim around the ass, especially if you’re not a fan of having your tongue lost in the jungle. A smooth surface can also enhance the experience for both the giver and the receiver.
Further, keeping things clean not only makes your partner feel comfortable but also boosts their confidence. Think of a warm shower or a relaxing bath as the appetizer to your main course. Dim the lights, play some soothing music, and maybe even share a glass of wine. You will enjoy eating ass better with proper preparation.
You can even take it up a notch and plan your foods, here are some suggestions on what to eat before anal play.
2. Flavored Lube: Just like adding seasoning to a dish, flavored lube can spice up the experience. Adding a little anal lube before you eat booty transforms a simple act into a taste sensation, adding a layer of fun to the mix. Imagine exploring your partner’s body with a hint of cherry or a touch of mint. Yummy! Each flavor brings its unique twist to the experience and it’s a playful way to enhance the pleasure and can be a great ice-breaker for those new to the game.
3. Best Ass Eating Positions: The key to a good time is finding the best positions where both you and your partner are comfy. Experiment with doggy style, missionary, reverse face sitting, or even spread eagle. For beginners, a good position to start is the classic doggy style – it’s like a reliable go-to recipe, simple and effective.
Feeling adventurous? Instead of the regular face sitting, try the reverse face sitting where your girl sits on your face while looking toward your feet. Another good eating ass position is the Spread Eagle– a cozy two-person setup for a blend of intimate connections, including sexual pleasure, manual stimulation, oral sex, and with legs spread for added comfort and accessibility.
4. Ass Eating Techniques: Start slow by using your tongue to create circles around the booty before inserting your tongue inside. Throw in your nose or chin to pleasure other body parts like the butt crack while you eat ass. For the receiver, a bit of ‘pushing out’ can amp up pleasure, but it’s a delicate dance – communicate and stay aware.
Your hands aren’t just sitting around; they can join the party, from lending a hand (literally) to exploring other hotspots. You can incorporate kissing, sucking, and even gentle nibbling on your partner’s ass cheeks for that added layers of texture and sensation. It’s about mixing tongue techniques to find what feels best while tossing your partner’s salad.
It’s perfectly fine to be creative when eating ass!
Pro tip: To make eating a girl’s ass more convenient, you can add a pillow or wedge underneath the butt cheeks. It will help raise the butt and allow the giver to spread their legs wider and avoid getting tired from a strenuous angle. You can also invest in a rim chair (image above) for maximum comfort. Here are the best rim chairs we recommend.
Are there any Risks with Rimming?
Just like any other sexual activity, it comes with its own set of guidelines for safe play. Even with a clean and healthy anus, the act of analingus can be a gateway for certain STDs like Hepatitis A. Think of it as an unwanted seasoning in your otherwise perfect dish. These risks also include exposure to intestinal parasites like cryptosporidiosis – definitely not the kind of guests you want at your party.
When it comes to HIV risk, the CDC offers some reassuring news. The likelihood of HIV transmission through rimming is extremely low [2]. HIV doesn’t typically hang out in feces, and its presence in saliva is also relatively rare. This makes the risk of transmission through mouth-to-anal contact lower compared to other sexual activities. However, the ‘but’ here is significant: if there’s blood involved, particularly if the receiving partner has bleeding in the rectal area and is HIV positive, and the giving partner has an active oral lesion, the risk meter ticks up a notch.
In the realm of rimming, this translates to being mindful of your partner’s and your health status and always playing it safe. Consider this the fine print in the contract of sexual adventures – important to read and understand for a safe and enjoyable experience.
My First Ass Licking Sex Experience
Sandra has always been the adventurous one in our relationship, often orchestrating our wildest and memorable nights together. But this time, I was eager to surprise her. I had been reading about the art of eating ass and, despite initial reservations due to sanitary concerns, I found myself intrigued.
One evening, we settled in our living room to watch a particularly steamy hardcore porn. The scenes unfolded with fervent anal play, and one featuring a blonde being expertly rimmed captured my imagination. My arousal was palpable, a burning desire that soon became too intense to ignore. I suggested a hot bath, a prelude to the surprise I had planned. Sandra, ever so intuitive, agreed with a knowing smile. She went ahead, transforming our bathroom into a sanctuary of sensuality. Soft music played in the background, and the lights dimmed to a gentle luminescence.
Joining Sandra in the tub, I was struck by the beauty of her naked form against the bubbly water. As I lathered her skin, my hands lingered longer on her buttocks, hinting at my intentions. We eventually made our way to the bedroom. Lying beside each other, our kisses grew hungry, full of longing. I began a trail of kisses from her lips down to her neck, savoring her skin. As my mouth found my partner’s breasts, her moans filled the room, a melody of desire.
But my ultimate destination was further south. I ventured past her abdomen, teasing her with my tongue, before arriving at my intended target. Gently spreading her legs, I raised her hips slightly, allowing my mouth to explore her most intimate areas. What followed was a dance of tongues and touches as I started licking her b-hole. Sandra’s reactions were immediate and intense, holding onto me, and urging me closer. As I alternated between pleasuring her with my fingers and mouth, her purrs grew into passionate cries.
Her climax was monumental, a testament to the uncharted territory we had explored together. She later confided in me that the anal orgasm she experienced was unlike any before. It wasn’t until she returned the favor a few days later that I fully grasped the magnitude of what we had shared. The give-and-take in our connection really made it a win-win situation, you know? It opened up doors for us to explore more together and just made our bond even stronger.
