The world of sexual wellness is vast and expansive. We like to think that no matter what you\u2019re into, there\u2019s something for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The body is full of erogenous zones, or places that elicit sexual arousal upon stimulation. This totally non-definitive list includes the genitals of course, breasts and nipples, stomach, ears, inner thighs, neck, and last but certainly not least – the butt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you haven\u2019t figured this out yet, the anus is a potential treasure trove for pleasure. Its sensitive tissue is packed with thousands of nerve endings, and for people with penises – a pleasure button called the prostate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The butt can be stimulated in all sorts of ways. Through toys, with a penis, hands and fingers, and yes – orally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Oral sex on the outside of the anus, is often called a \u201crim job\u201d, or its formal term \u201canalingus\u201d. Feel free to let your imagination run wild here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rim Jobs 101<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oral stimulation on the anus can be delightful as foreplay or as your main course – not that you need to define either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes people will use it as a way to work up to anal penetration<\/a>, whether that be with a penis, dildo, or anal plugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prepare for a Rim Job<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First things first is prepare. Despite the connotations we have with it, the anus isn\u2019t necessarily any less sanitary or bad tasting than other genitals – as long as it\u2019s clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cleaning the anus can be as simple as washing thoroughly with your shower head, or a bidet. Some people choose to do an enema, which involves using a special device to push water or an herbal mixture into the colon. If you do this, be sure to wait a few hours before getting sexual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The person giving the rim job will also want to wash their mouth beforehand, to avoid transmitting bacteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n STIs<\/a> like herpes<\/a>, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and HIV can all be transmitted through anal oral sex, which is why it\u2019s important to use safer sex practices. This includes STI testing, especially with a new partner, or if you have multiple partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
