There's more than one way to get a PhD in analingus.
Once considered taboo, the rim job (a.k.a. rimming, analingus, peach-munching, eating the booty like groceries, etc.) is becoming a more mainstream sexual act. There are various reasons why that might be the case: It may be due to increased visibility through porn, references to rim jobs in popular culture, or the fact that even The Bachelorette is talking about sex positivity these days. Whatever the reason may be, it's great that more people are feeling empowered to try rimming—because let's be real: It feels great, regardless of your sex, gender, or sexual orientation.
“This region of your butt is a highly erogenous zone with a plethora of nerve endings,” Dr. Evan Goldstein , founder and CEO of Bespoke Surgical and The Future Method , previously told Men's Health . "The sensations are indescribable, though most people compare it to having their most sensitive and ticklish areas kissed or licked.”
If you’ve never performed a rim job before and are looking for a plethora of basic analingus tips, you might want to read our full explainer on how to eat ass like a pro . But if you already know what to do and you’re just looking for the most pleasurable positions to rim in—i.e., positions that don’t strain your neck or, you know, put you at risk for asphyxiation under your partner's butt cheeks—then keep reading. We compiled a list of the best positions for rimming, so you can feast like a goddamn king.
The most classic position for rimming is probably doggy style. Not only is the booty super accessible, but when you're done rimming, you’re already in the perfect position to have anal sex .
Variation: If doggy style puts the receiver's booty at an awkward height for the giver, the receiver can try laying flat on their stomach and spreading their cheeks.
Another common position is when the receiver is on their back with their legs bent in the air. If they're an expert contortionist, they can even bend their legs behind their head.
Variation : You can use a sex pillow to prop up the receiver's pelvis, so the giver doesn't tire out their neck from that strenuous angle.
“Face-sitting is also fun to explore, but can be challenging for both the giver and the receiver,” Luna Matatas , a sex and pleasure educator, previously told Men's Health . “Prop up your head with a pillow to bring your face closer to their anus. The person being rimmed can use a bed or a wall to help balance their weight off their knees and thighs."
You can also do a reverse face-sit, where the receiver is sitting on the giver's face but they’re facing away from them. This position is popular among guys who love to be completely smothered by booty, to the point where consensual breath play can even take place.
While the giver of the rim job eats their partner's booty, the rim rob receiver can perform oral sex on their junk! It’s a win-win.

All your questions about anal foreplay, answered.
You might have heard of rimming, also known as anilingus, but you’d be forgiven for not knowing exactly what it means. The term refers to anal foreplay with the tongue – specifically licking, penetrating, sucking, kissing, or otherwise orally stimulating your partner's anus.
People of all genders and sexual orientations have been engaging in anal play for centuries. We know this thanks to the saucy pictures depicted on Ancient Greek pottery dating back to 500BC. But is rimming safe and does it come with any health risks?
We speak to psychosexual and relationship counsellor Carolyn Cowan and GP trainee Dr Elizabeth Dapre about what a rim job is, safety tips and how to enjoy anal play responsibly:
Rimming, also known as anilingus, is part of anal pleasure. 'It is licking the anus, the anal sphincter and the perineum,' explains Cowan. 'It is often performed alongside genital touch.'
Although it's an enjoyable foreplay experience, those who engage in rimming are unlikely to climax from it alone. 'Most will not orgasm through rimming alone and it is considered as a part of sexual foreplay,' adds Cowan. 'However, it is a great way to discover if you find your, or your partner’s anus, or anal play, arousing as it does not involve penetration and so there is no risk of pain.'
As with any sexual activity, how rimming works depends very much on the couple. Cowan suggests: 'It's best to discuss with your partner if they would like to try to play in this way, first. For some, the anus is no-go area and it is important to respect this.
With a little bit of preparation and some basic hygiene, there's no reason why you can't still enjoy anilingus.
'If playing with this for the first time you could begin with oral sex and genital play and they work your way down. It can be enjoyed across the gender and gender preference spectrum, and is considered a gentle form of anal play.'
While rimming is an enjoyable experience for many, some of you may be concerned about the hygiene risks associated with putting your tongue on your partner's anus.
'In addition to the common sexually transmitted infections, such as herpes and warts, which can be passed on via any type of oral sex, venturing that little bit further to experiment with anilingus does increase your risk of contracting specific infections carried within faecal matter,' says Dr Dapre.
Rimming is one of the riskier choices of sexual play because of the potential for contracting infections.
In short: 'rimming is one of the riskier choices of sexual play because of the potential for contracting infections which can be transmitted via your poo,' explains Dr Dapre. But with a little bit of preparation and some basic hygiene, there's no reason why you can't still enjoy the activity.
As with most sexual activities, there is a risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection (STI) if you engage in anilingus with an infected partner. Dr Dapre outlines the following potential risks that comes with rimming:
Hepatitis A is a common viral infection which can cause inflammation of the liver and can make you feel very unwell.
Salmonella, shigella, E. coli and campylobacter are all bacterial infections which can cause diarrhoea , abdominal pain and fevers, and which are also transmitted via the faeco-oral route.
Parasitic infections such giardiasis are also transmitted in this way, and produce similar symptoms, often requiring treatment with antibiotics.
If you are concerned about contracting or passing on an STI, make an appointment with your local sexual health clinic to get checked out before engaging in sexual activity with a new partner.
Don't let the health risks put you off – if you want to try rimming, there are steps you can take to make the activity as safe as possible and still have a great time, as outlined by Dr Dapre:
The anus is rife with bacteria and so cleanliness and protection is key. Ensure the area is completely cleaned before engaging in sexual activity.
The safest way to engage in oro-anal play is to ensure that you and your partner are up to date with your STI checks .
Using barrier methods, such as dental dams , can significantly reduce the risks of catching or passing anything on. Dental dams, for those who are not familiar, are sheets of latex that can be used on genitals to protect against STIs and infections.
You may also wish to douche the area before rimming in order to ensure cleanliness and help you both relax. If so, ensure you use a douche or enema designed specifically for anal use.
If you intend to continue with foreplay or sex after analingus, it's extremely important to wash your mouth efficiently before putting your tongue anywhere near your partner's mouth, penis or vagina afterwards, to avoid spreading infection.
Aside from our rimming safety tips, anal play can be great fun so use your imagination and enjoy!

Curious about anilingus? Here’s what you need to know about rim jobs.
More stories to check out before you go
Another day, another Sex and the City reference.
In one episode, Miranda meets a man while she’s training for the marathon. They eventually hook up and in the middle of foreplay, with her back to him, he slowly inched down and licked her butt—no, we’re not talking about her cheeks; he went for her anus. That’s what a rim job is.
Of course, this became a topic of discussion at brunch, with Charlotte revealing that her husband enjoyed this. Being the most conservative in the group, this revelation surprised everybody. But this goes to show that everyone has secret kinks we might not know about. Don’t knock it 'til you try it, right?
Rimming involves stimulating a person’s anus with your mouth. There’s a reason why anal sex is gaining more popularity: There’s actually a lot nerves back there, nerves you may be neglecting because of a perceived notion that it’s “dirty” or “disgusting.” In fact, there are a lot of people who quite enjoy anilingus. In 2008, a study of 1,400 men found that those who’ve experienced heterosexual anal sex, rim jobs were pretty common—both giving and receiving. In the span of 30 days, “24 percent had performed anilingus on their female partners, and 15 percent had received it.”
Like with everything else, consent is necessary. If you regularly talk about your sex life, simply asking if it’s okay is enough. If it’s a firm no, then it’s a no. If you feel like there might be more room to wiggle, ask if you can talk about it further, and do your research together. Maybe he or she just said no because it’s such a foreign concept.
While giving a woman oral sex, depending on the position, it’s easy for things to slip. One big lip can have you performing anilingus even without intending to. Acknowledge that it happened, and then ask how she felt about it.
Considering what goes through the anus, we can’t really blame you for wondering, “What does it taste like when you give someone a rim job?” But the truth is, if it’s been properly cleaned, it tastes just like most body parts—like skin.
Again, the key factor in making sure that a rim job is pleasurable for both the giver and receiver is proper hygiene. In the Sex and the City episode, Miranda and her Marathon Man went straight to having sex right after a training session. You can imagine how sweaty (and smelly) that was. Some people don’t mind this; in fact, that strong scent is a turn on. But if it’s your first time and the thought of pressing your face onto someone’s butt or having someone’s face so near your behind is intimidating, you can absolutely just do what you can to prepare. Just spend a few extra minutes making sure your anus is extra clean before you do the deed.
Do you have to? No. It really depends on your preference. It’s just like oral sex: It’s your call if you want it completely bare or 100 percent natural. One isn’t “cleaner” than the other. And if you don’t normally remove body hair in that area, you don’t have to start now. It’s hair, it’s natural. It’s meant to be there, so don’t be trying to bend so far just to get rid of it.
According to Dr. Evan Goldstein , M.D., the risks of giving a rim job include your standard STIs like Hepatitis A, HPV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
One of the things you have to be super careful about is cross-contamination aka switching to vaginal penetration from anal sex without taking a break. According to sex therapist Dr. Jordan Rullo , “Vaginal penetration after anal penetration can lead to infection. Never go from the anus to the vagina without a wash break and [an] application of a new condom. If a condom was not used, washing the penis after anal sex isn’t enough, as bacteria can still be inside the urethra. You need to not only wash your penis, but also urinate.”
Now that you’re armed with more knowledge on how to give a rim job, give it a try, and let us know how it goes!
