What is Rimming?
Lots of us are familiar with oral sex, blow jobs and cunnilingus but how about rimming?
Rimming is the act of performing oral sex on a persons butt hole. Otherwise known as analingus, this is the equivalent of giving head to your partners anus. Just like other forms of oral sex, rimming uses the mouth, lip and tongue to stimulate this powerful pleasure spot.
Rimming is enjoyed by people of all genders and sexualities making it the couple choice when it comes to foreplay and fun.
What’s the Difference Between Rimming and a Rim Job?
The term “rimming” and “rim job” are essentially the same thing and there is no real difference. Rimming refers to the act, whilst Rim Job, is the act itself. It’s the equivalent of oral sex and blow job, or oral sex and cunnilingus. The two things go hand in hand.
Prepare to Be Rimmed
Anything anal requires a little preparation. And whilst performing analingus isn’t complicated, there are a few things we can do beforehand, to ensure the best possible experience for both partners.
Empty Your Bowels – Visiting the toilet at least half an hour before play and before you wash is always a good idea before anal play. Whilst rimming doesn’t have to involve penetration of the butt, some people enjoy the sensation of penetration with the tongue. Emptying the bowels can help to reduce any “poop” situations.
Hygiene – Being clean is essential to a good time. Taking a long hot shower will help to minimise any unpleasantries for the giver. Whilst being squeaky clean will enable the receiver to feel more confident and in turn, more relaxed.
Douching – Douching before rimming isn’t essential but it can be a good idea especially if there is a chance that rimming may turn into anal intercourse. Being prepared for such eventualities prevents any mood killers should one thing lead to another and penetrative sex is on the cards.
Consider a Trim – Nobody gets a thrill from pubes between their teeth so think about tidying up down below. A quick trim or even shave will help to keep things clean and fresh too. Surely it’s the least you can do for the person that’s venturing downstairs.
How to Give a Rim Job
The important thing to remember about rimming is just like any other sexual act, you should do what feels good for you and your partner. There is no right or wrong way to give a rim job and sometimes the suck it and see approach is all you need (quite literally!) But if you are looking for some inspiration why not try the following:
- Move your mouth in different ways to provide a variety of sensations. Licking up and down gently will feel vey different to moving the tongue from side to side across the anus. Try licking in circular motions going clockwise first and then reversing it for an entirely new sensation.
- Alternate between using a flat tongue and a pointed tongue. A flat tongue will provide a stimulation over a wider area compared to the precision of a pointed tongue.
- Experiment with licking speeds and pressures. Light and gentle, hard and fast or somewhere in between.
- Gently alternating between blowing warm and cool air onto the anus will intensify sensations and heighten nerve endings.
- Communicate – Ask your partner what feels good? What do they enjoy? Does this feel nice? Encourage them to give you signs such as a moan or a “yes”, if something is particularly good.
5 Top Tips for Rimming
Now we know how to rim, here are a few top tips to make you look like a pro!
- Lube – whilst not essential, lube can bring another dimension of sensation to the play. As we know, lube makes any sexual activity feel incredible and it helps us to orgasm. But if we add a flavoured lube, the giver gets a yummy treat. And if we add a tingling or warming lube, the receiver gets added thrills. Be sure to use a water-based lube. Oil or silicone based products will leave a nasty taste in the mouth.
- Keep teeth out of it – read any blog about rimming and you will find that teeth and nibbling is a big no no. The anus is super sensitive so chopping down is going to cause discomfort and possible injury.
- No double dipping – this means don’t ever move from the butt to the vagina or the butt to the mouth. However clean we think our butts are, the risk of cross contamination is simply not worth it.
- Tag team with sex toys – Once you’ve mastered what you are doing with your mouth, consider introducing a small sex toy to take things up to a whole new level. A finger vibe or bullet vibrator pressed against the clit or the penis shaft is sure to please.
- Don’t forget the taint – the taint is another word for the area between a vagina and the anus or a penis and the anus. This often overlooked erogenous zone is extremely sensitive area and feels amazing when licked.
Why Do People Enjoy Rimming?
All of us have a butt and therefore all of us have thousands of juicy nerve endings all bursting with potential pleasure. Tapping into the bootie provides new and exciting sensations that can help to keep our sex lives vibrant and fulfilling.
Rimming can be an excellent introduction to more advanced anal play. If you’re interested in getting your partner into anal sex, rimming might awaken their enjoyment of anal stimulation. It’s a small step up from oral sex and can naturally lead to other anal activities including anal sex toys. Rimming allows lovers to explore backdoor fun in a non-intimidating way, progressing at a pace that feels comfortable for both parties.
