Rimming
Oral stimulation of the anus (rimming) or perianal area using tongue.
Beginner Level
Medium Risk
Rimming, also known as oral-anal contact, involves stimulating the area around the anus using the mouth or tongue. Some people enjoy it because the area contains many sensitive nerve endings, while others incorporate it into foreplay or intimacy with a partner. Because oral contact can transmit bacteria, parasites, and sexually transmitted infections, good hygiene and barrier methods such as dental dams may help reduce certain health risks. Open communication, consent, and awareness of safer sex practices are important considerations before engaging in this activity.
Equipment Needed
Dental dam (optional)
flavored lubricant (optional)
