ANILINGUS: EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE RIMJOB

What is anilingus?

Anilingus (from Latin anus anus and lingere lick) is an oral sex practice that is also called rimming, rimjob, tongue anal or anus licking. Anilingus involves pampering the external sphincter as well as the perineum with the tongue and lips. In the process, the tongue can also be used to penetrate the anus. The anal area has an extremely large number of nerve endings, which is why many people find oral stimulation of the anal region particularly appealing. In this article, you will learn important preparation tips and an anilingus instruction as well as the appropriate positions for butt licking.

The first time anilingus

Why lick the anus at all? The outside and inside of the anus has numerous nerve endings that react particularly sensitively to stimulation. Be it during anal sex, anal fingers or even with the tongue.

Especially during anal oral sex, the partner can be pampered specifically at the external sphincter muscles and anus entrance, where most of the nerve endings are located. Unlike with the finger, an analtoy or penis, gentle movements and fluttering tongue strokes can trigger finer sensations here.

In addition, anilingus can serve as a prelude to anal sex. The tongue is more flexible and softer than a finger and is even gentler in pre-stretching the anus. Advantage: You have some moisture for the entrance included by the rimjob, through the saliva.

For many, the topic of anilingus is a delicate matter. The anal region is known not to be primarily designed for sex. Nevertheless, the area is an erogenous zone and may be explicitly included in lovemaking. With the right preparation, nothing should actually stand in the way of anal pleasure.

So if you want to practice anilingus in addition to anal sex – whether passively or actively – then first talk to your partner about your desire. Maybe it is possible for both of you and you want to try it together. Anilingus can be practiced regardless of gender or sexual orientation – receiving, giving or both.

The right preparation for anilingus

As long as the anus is properly cleaned, anilingus can be practiced relatively safely. In our article on getting started with anal sex, you will find instructions on how to clean the anus. If the anus is not properly clean, fecal bacteria can be ingested orally. To avoid this, the intestine should be cleaned very thoroughly, e.g. with the help of a practical anal douche.

If you still have concerns, you can protect yourself with a lick cloth, also called oral dams. These are mostly used for cunnilingus, but are also suitable for anilingus. The lick cloth is placed over the anus region before you start licking with your tongue.

Anal licking: This is how it works

The tip of the tongue can first be used to lightly massage the outside of the anus. Circular movements and drumming tongue strokes also stimulate the region very well during tongue anal. Alternately, you can lick the anus with the whole tongue. If you like, you can also slowly penetrate the anus with the tip of your tongue.

Through the soft tongue muscle, the sphincter stretches so extremely gently and is slightly moistened by the saliva. This allows couples to use anilingus to pre-stretch the anus for anal sex and better penetrate with the penis or an anal toy.

The best anilingus positions

In itself, any position is suitable for anilingus where the anus and buttocks are freely accessible to the licking partner. These four positions are especially good for anal oral sex. By the way: You can find more inspirations for varied positions – also anal – in our big sex positions article.

• Facesitting: In this position, the receiver squats with his butt over the face of his partner, who lies relaxed on his back. This way, the upper partner has enough room to move freely during anal licking and navigate stimulations from the partner himself.
• The Frog: The one of you who would like to be anal pampered first lies down on his back, bends his legs and pulls them towards his head with his hands. In this position, the buttocks pull apart optimally for anilingus, so that the giver gets good access to the anus.
• Doggy style: As in doggy, the receiver gets into position on all fours, while the partner spoils the anus with the tongue from behind. For many, this position is: rimjob at its best!
• 69-Position: In this position, both partners can spoil each other orally, be it the penis, the vagina or the anus. The best way to make the oral sex particularly intense is a varied play between the different erogenous zones.

Is Anilingus safe?

If only the outer area of the anus is spoiled and there are no directly bleeding spots or ejaculate on the skin, there is an extremely low risk of contracting HIV during anilingus. Important: Other STDs, such as the HP virus, gonorrhea and chlamydia can also be transmitted anally, as can intestinal bacteria. If you don’t want to give up anilingus and still want protection, you can simply use a lick pad like the Beffy Lickpad. During the rimjob, simply place it over the spot that is to be licked:

Anal licking is therefore quite a delightful affair. Hygiene is of course the be-all and end-all in the run-up, so that everyone involved can have fun. We recommend that you include cleaning in your foreplay together. For example, you can take a bath together or get into the shower together to soap up and get closer. And who knows, maybe the rimjob will take place bent over the edge of the bathtub. There are no limits to your creativity when it comes to anilingus.

Rimjob so really enjoy: Aids for even more pleasure

For a mild cleansing of the sensitive skin in the intimate area, spread a small amount of the intimate wash gel in the palm of your hand and wet the outer intimate area. Then rinse thoroughly with clear water, dry off and enjoy the fresh feeling.
