In addition to being associated with all the same STDs that can be transferred by mouth-to-genital contact ( HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, etc.), rimming can in rare cases transfer intestinal parasites. It bears noting, anallingus does involve placing one’s taste buds on an excretory orifice (gross), so it makes sense to consider hygiene. Between the unshakable conviction - the result of years of social conditioning - that my tongue isn’t “supposed” to go here, and the evident pleasure the act tends to impart, it’s almost silly how arousing it can be to tongue a woman’s asshole. And it’s even hotter to reciprocate, the only gentlemanly move, should your partner be game. In my experience, nothing else gives plain old vanilla sex the same chocolatey decadence.Įven after my numerous experiences in this area, getting rimmed still feels dirty to me. And the licking of the anal aperture is one of the final taboos left.
You know how they told us in sex ed that the brain is the most important erogenous zone? What they left out is that a great way to fuck someone’s brains out is to break a sexual taboo with a willing partner. Vary your approach, speed, density, and so on, and pay attention to how your partner responds. Flexible, soft, and wet, perpetually bathing in its own natural lubricant, and capable of shifting between probelike stiffness and exquisite, pillowy suppleness in a fraction of a second, the tongue can do things that other organs and objects simply cannot do. And while there are several body parts that can be deployed in pursuit of anal pleasure, it turns out the tongue is ideally suited to the task.
Remember: The tongue is a very special organ.Īs one might suspect, there are real physiological reasons for the intense sensations experienced by the butt-play recipient. Here, a few tips for anyone looking to dine downtown. I’m no “sexpert,” and my erotic life is far from glamorous, but I can tell you that I’ve had some very delightful rimming experiences, and that eating ass is not as gross you might expect - that is, if you take the proper precautions … Butt cheeks - both his and hers - are designed to be parted. As the Cut has noted, it “turns out the fastest way to get every straight man in a room to shut up is to shout, ‘Who likes rim jobs?’” Meanwhile, according to one survey, some straight guys apparently wonder if receiving a rimming is “going to make me gay.” Remember Kanye’s squeals of horror when Amber Rose claimed she’d gone dirty south on West? But for the brave bung-diving brotherhood (and sisterhood), this crapshoot, as it were, is simply not an obstacle.Īlthough the visibility of booty eating has increased significantly in recent years - especially since Playboy’s canonical, groundbreaking 2014 study of eating ass - and women and gay men have spoken openly about the topic, straight men have been slower to embrace butt lust, at least publicly. In fact, that very possibility might explain why something like 60 percent of the adult population has never once, in our entire boring little lives, dared to have anal sex, let alone place our tongue, however gingerly, on or about the butt hole of another person.Īnd for straight men, the numbers are even smaller.
