RIMMING

rimming | gay rimming - Oral contact with the anus.

Meaning

Rimming is a popular sexual practice involving the licking or kissing of the anus or the thrusting of ones tongue gently inside the anus of your partner. Since the lips and tongue are softer and warmer then the fingers, which can lead to more erotic sensations. Some people find rimming extremely pleasurable and stimulating while others find it distasteful. Rimming can be done in homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual partners although in porn it is most often referred to in gay sex.

Practice

Rimming, also referred to as anilingus or ass easting, is often performed as foreplay to anal intercourse since it both relaxes the area and sexually stimulates the person who is to be penetrated. It is also pleasurable by itself. Rimming is extremely popular in gay porn and is often done between the actors prior to anal sex. Since the anus carries bacteria, it is safest to use a dental dam when performing rimming although some simply cleanse the anus prior to sexual contact.
