How to give a great rim job?

We hear plenty about cunnilingus, but rimming rarely gets the spotlight. Often seen as a bit taboo, it can be an incredible source of pleasure when done with care and consent. So how do you give a great rim job and send your partner wild? We cover it all in five essential points.

Preparation

Hold on! An enema is absolutely not necessary for this activity (or any other, for that matter). If you want to feel "clean", wash the area in the shower or use an unscented wipe.

Stimulation

Everyone’s different, and it all depends on what you enjoy, but we recommend building up gradually. Start with gentle strokes and kisses around the area. To really build anticipation, take it slowly before getting down to business with your tongue.

Position

Not every position works for anilingus – it’s a matter of common sense (lol). For the best experience, find a position that’s comfortable and gives easy access to the area. Lying on your front, on all fours, spooning... Get creative! 🙂

Communication

As with all sexual activities, consent is essential. Make sure you and your partner are both ready before you begin, and talk openly about your preferences and boundaries. If it’s your first time, consider agreeing on a safeword in case either of you wants to stop.

Protection

If you’d like to try rimming with a new partner, remember to use protection. There’s always a risk of an STI, so use a barrier such as a dental dam or a condom cut open beforehand.

Now you know how to give a great rim job. All that’s left is to give it a try!
