Before you go to town, there are a few things you should know…

So what is Rimming?

Rimming if you’re not in the know is where one person (the rimmer) licks, sucks, kisses, penetrates their partner’s (rimmee) anus with their tongue.

There’s a lot of guys who absolutely love receiving it and giving it, or both, but if the idea of rimming makes you feel a bit icky we’ve got some tips to make the w(hole) thing a lot more sexier.

Trim that hair

Although some people will love a hairy man butt, you should be aware that pubic hair around the ass will be teeming with bacteria. This is because little bits of faecal matter will cling to the hair (we call them chumber nuts)- and normal wiping with TP, won’t get rid of all of it. So you could buy some wet wipes, but it’s best to have a shower before any anal sex situation. Otherwise, you can shave your ass or even, if you’re brave, go for a waxing.

Clean it good

So while we’re on the matter of faecal matter, make sure that you have a good shower or bath before you get rimmed. Doctor Rick Viney, a consultant urological surgeon at BMI The Priory and BMI Edgbaston hospitals in Birmingham, told us, “there are plenty of E Coli in this environment so it is possible to get gastroenteritis…” So if you don’t want to spend time recovering from a dodgy belly, a good scrub from your rimmee is necessary.

Dam it

If you’re a bit ickedĀ out by the thought of sticking your tongue in some guy’s ass, why not try a dental dam. It’s a thin sheet of latex that you put in between your mouth and his butt. Check them out here



Talking about taste

If you’re gonna go straight for it and don’t want to use a dam, but not so taken with the taste of ass, then get the receiverĀ to smother his asshole with flavoured lube.

You can get herpes…

So did you know you can get herpes from anal oral sex? Yes, if the giver has cold sores it’s best to stay clear of rimming until the sores have disappeared. Dr Rick Viney explained, “the risks from rimming are similar to oral sex. If there is active herpes, warts or syphilis these can spread directly to the mouth and vice versa.”

Lick it… Lick it good.

There are no hard and fast rules about what makes for a good rimming session. Whether you go up to down, from left to right, slow or fast, lapping or darting every moment will give the receiver feels.

For the receiver let your partner know what is working for you, by groans of enjoyment, similarly, the giver can ask, “does that feel good?” (obviously not when your mouth is full of ass)

Up in the air

Probably the best position is with the receiver on their stomach whilst lifting the hips a little to make the hole accessible. You can also be on your back, however, if you’re a bit body conscious this might not be a great position.

On your back is a great position if you want to make eye contact with your rimmer.

You can also do what’s called face sitting. Where the rimmee essentially sits on the face of the rimmer. Be careful not to smother your partner. Leave room for breathing to take place.

Eat the right thing

As with anything butt related you might want to pay attention to what you’re eating before getting rimmed. You don’t want to spend the entire time worrying that you might blow off in your partner’s face.

We’ve made a list of things not to eat if you’re bottoming and these pretty much apply to being rimmed as well.

A great way to prepare for the next level

Rimming is a fantastic way to prepare for anal sex. All that licking and tongue thrusting can really get the motor running before taking your session to the next level. It can also help the bottom become a little more relaxed before fingers or a dick is introduced… Bravo!
