Anal rimming, also spelled analingus, is a sexual act involving oral stimulation of the anus. It is an act in which one person stimulates another person's anus with their mouth, lips, or tongue, usually for sexual pleasure. This practice can be performed by people of any gender or sexual orientation, and is valuable because it can produce intense sensations due to the high concentration of nerve endings in the anal area. While anal sex is a relatively common sexual practice, it carries certain health risks, requires clear communication and consent, and is often subject to cultural taboos or misunderstandings. This response will explore the definition, history, techniques, safety considerations, cultural perceptions, and psychological aspects of rimming.
The dragon drill is a sexual technique that involves inserting the tongue into the anus and other anal stimulation activities. The pleasure of the recipient mainly comes from the stimulation of the rich nerve endings in the anus. One party licks or lightly penetrates the partner's anal area with the tongue (i.e. "anal licking"), which is a kind of foreplay or erotic technique.
Definition and basic understanding
Anilingus is from Latin anus(meaning anus) and lingere(meaning lick), follow cunnilingus and fellatio language pattern. It involves a range of oral activities including licking, kissing, sucking or gentle anal penetration with the tongue. The behavior may be focused on the outer edge of the anus, the anal sphincter, or around the perineum (the area between the anus and genitals). It can be used as a standalone sexual act, foreplay, or combined with other sexual activities. The anus is an erogenous zone because it has a dense network of nerve endings, especially around the anus, which can make the recipient of stimulation feel very pleasurable. The abuser may also find pleasure in the behavior, which often stems from the intimacy or taboo nature of the act.
Anal sex is not exclusive to any particular sexual orientation. While this behavior is often associated with men who have sex with men (MSM), research shows that people of all genders and sexual orientations engage in this behavior. For example, a 2021 Australian survey found that 25.5% of heterosexual men and 9.3% of heterosexual women reported having performed anal rimming in the past three months. The versatility of the act stems from the fact that everyone has an anus and that the act can be performed by all interested and consenting people.
Historical and etymological background
It is said that "anilingusThe term was coined by sexologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing in the late 19th century in the English translation of his 1899 book Sexual Psychopaths. This word is likely to be cunnilingus As a prototype, anus and lingus Mixed to describe oral-anal stimulation. However, its usage may have been coined independently many times by analogy with other terms.
Historically, rimming has been documented across cultures and eras, but the practice was often kept discreet due to societal taboos surrounding anal sex. In ancient Greece and Rome, anal stimulation was mentioned in erotic art and literature, but explicit references to oral-anal contact were rare. In modern times, slang terms such as "licking anus", "eating ass" or "mixing salad" have emerged, with "mixing salad" originating from American prison slang to describe submissive or gracious behavior. These terms reflect both the prevalence of the behavior and the cultural need to euphemize it.
Anal licking has become more visible in the 20th and 21st centuries, especially with the sexual revolution and the rise of open discussion about diverse sexualities. References in the media, such as the famous scene from the TV series White Lotus or Allison Williams’ scene in Girls, have brought the practice into mainstream discourse, often sparking public curiosity or debate.
Technical and practical considerations
Start slow and work your way up to the winning point rather than going all out right away. Gently licking and kissing the inner thighs and perineum is a great start and will definitely get them ready for action. When you’re ready for anal sex, you can’t go wrong using your tongue the same way you would lick an ice cream cone.
Here are some tips:
Place your tongue flat against your partner's anus and give long, slow licks.
Try alternating tensing and relaxing your tongue.
Try different directions, such as up and down and side to side.
Press your tongue against their anus, applying just enough pressure to gently penetrate.
- Flick: Use the tip of your tongue to lightly flick across the outer edge of your anus.
- lick: Licking the anus with the whole tongue, often described as being similar to licking an ice cream cone.
- Detection: Insert your tongue into the anus and move it to stimulate the inside of the anal canal.
- Kiss or suck: Kissing or sucking the anus or surrounding area with your lips.
- Ring the bell: Press your tongue against the anus and then quickly withdraw it.
- Drill:Use your entire tongue to penetrate deep into the anus and drill like an electric drill, massaging the prostate line.
- Thrust the penis up and down: While drilling the anus, the penis was stroked up and down.
- Double Fly: One from behind will help you with the poisonous dragon drill, and the other will help you with the twist.
How do you take care of your teeth?
Aside from a gentle nibble on the cheek, most people don’t want your teeth making direct contact with their butt.
Here are the specific operations:
Make sure they're willing to accept some toothy action - communication and consent are a must!
Use your front teeth to gently glide along the back of their thighs and cheeks, barely grazing the skin.
Try to give it a light, gentle bite, right where there is enough flesh on the buttocks.
How's your breathing?
The heat on your skin can be very exciting, especially on your inner thighs and buttocks.
Tease your partner by pressing your lips against their skin so they can feel your breath.
Positions will also vary to maximize comfort and accessibility. One popular position is the modified doggy style, where the receiver is on all fours while the giver kneels behind and spreads the receiver's buttocks apart with his hands. Other positions include the receiver lying on their back with their legs raised and pillows under their hips, or standing and hunched over a surface while the giver curls up or squats.
Preparation is crucial for both comfort and safety. Hygiene is crucial because the anus is a breeding ground for bacteria such as E. coli. Escherichia colior Salmonella. Thorough washing of the anal area with soap and water is recommended, and some people choose to douche to cleanse the lower colon, especially if deeper stimulation is planned. Douching involves flushing the rectum with water using a shower fixture or portable device, although this is not always necessary for external irritation. Lubricants, especially flavored lubricants designed for oral and anal sex, can enhance the experience by reducing friction and improving taste.
Cultural Concepts and Psychological Aspects
Anal licking is often stigmatized because of its association with the anus, which is culturally associated with the excretion of waste rather than pleasure. This stigma can lead to misconceptions, such as people believing that rimming is a "gay" practice, when in fact people of all sexual orientations engage in rimming. Cultural attitudes vary widely: in some Western societies, rimming is increasingly normalised, with 15-27% adults reporting having tried it, whereas in other countries, such as parts of Nigeria, it may be considered taboo.
Psychologically, anal sex can foster intimacy and trust between partners because it involves vulnerability and requires open communication. The taboo nature of the act may also increase excitement for some people, as breaking social norms can be thrilling. However, if one party feels pressured or unprepared, discomfort or shame may arise. Sex therapists emphasize the importance of discussing desires and boundaries beforehand and using nonjudgmental language to ensure both parties feel comfortable. For example, a suggested opening line could be, "I've always been curious about anal licking. I'd love to hear your thoughts and see if it's something we both might enjoy."
Related behaviors include anal intercourse or the use of anal toys, which may be performed after anal licking as part of sexual development. However, anal licking does not necessarily mean further anal play is warranted, and partners should clarify their intentions to avoid assumptions.
