I was wondering if you could tell me what exactly is a "rim job?" Thanks!
originally written 11.30.2007 • updated 01.27.2014 •
A "rim job" is a slang term for analingus . That means oral stimulation of the anus .
A lot of people of all sexual orientations and genders enjoy analingus.
People practicing rimming should be aware that it is risky in terms of disease transmission unless safer sex practices are used. A lot of infections are contracted fecal-orally, like Hepatitis A, shigellosis (particularly caused by Shigella flexneri ), pathogenic E. coli , salmonellosis ... the list goes on and on. Microscopic traces of feces on the anus can get into the mouth of the partner giving analingus. If those feces harbor anything particularly pathogenic, that can mean sickness (with diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and fevers as major symptoms).
But like I said, a lot of people enjoy analingus. After all, the anus and perineum both have a lot of highly-sensitive nerve endings, and touch stimulation can be sexually pleasurable.
Analingus can be done safely if the anus is covered with a dental dam or sheet of plastic cling film. A dental dam is a sheer square sheet of latex. It can be stretched over the anus to keep fecal germs away from the partner performing the analingus. The tongue should only come in contact with the dam or cling film.

A rim job — also known as rimming or analingus — is the act of using one’s mouth and tongue to pleasure your partner’s anus. Rim jobs can involve licking, sucking and kissing, and any other oral-to-anal contact. Anal rimming can involve inserting the tongue into the anus, circling around it — hence why it’s called “rimming” — or exploring around the rest of the butt area. It can be a pleasurable act on its own or a way to prepare for other types of penetrative anal sex such as fingering , fisting or intercourse.
Although rimming has traditionally been thought of as a taboo sex act, it’s been brought to the mainstream with artists, celebrities and groups on social media being more open about the pleasures of rim jobs. Anal rimming has carried the connotation as an exclusively “gay” activity because involves the anus, but people of all sexual and gender identities can find pleasure in giving or receiving a rim job. This is because there are tons of nerve endings in the anus, not to mention the psychological pleasure that can be experienced with oral-anal play. In turn, many people find rimming a significant source of sexual arousal.
For those looking to add something new to their sex life, rim jobs can be satisfying both physically and mentally. For a unique sexual experience, some may want to combine the act with penetration using toys or some form of BDSM.
As with any other sexual act, rimming is not a one-size-fits-all activity. Some may be able to orgasm from rim jobs, but the way anyone orgasms varies from person to person. Some people can orgasm from anal stimulation alone, while others may need to have other genital pleasure zones to be stimulated to be able to reach climax.
For the most part, rimming is a relatively safe activity; however, no sexual act is 100% cleared from any kind of risk.
You can get bacterial infections like e.coli and salmonella from rimming. Giardia, a microscopic parasite, and other parasites can also be transmitted through feces through rimming. This is preventable by making sure the anus is clean beforehand. It should be noted that you should avoid rim jobs if your partner has been sick or is experiencing symptoms of a stomach bug. When people have viral stomach infections, most experience diarrhea or stomach pain, which can be transmitted to you through rimming.
Practicing safe sex is as important for rimming as in every other sexual act. Although there is usually low risk, some of the following STIs can be transmitted through rim jobs:
There are a couple of things you can do to decrease the likelihood of STI transmission during rimming. First, keep an eye out for cuts on the tongue, lips, gums, or rectum. These cuts can become entry points for infection and transmission, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Using dental dams is another option. Dental dams are thin, latex or polyurethane sheets used between the mouth and vagina or anus during oral sex. However, it should be noted that dental dams are not widely used, which is why those engaging in rim jobs should make it a point to have regular, comprehensive testing and treatment (if needed) completed to prevent the risk of spreading STIs.
Comprehensive testing includes swabbing rectally (for rimmee) and orally (for rimmer), as well as stool samples. Because stool sampling is not a routine test, it’s something you should ask your doctor to perform, but be sure to have your doctor test specifically for ova and parasites. Prophylactic regimens with Flagyl are recommended for people who experience repeated infections but love to rim.
In addition, because rimming has the potential to expose you to seeing warts, tags and other issues, it’s important to add into your routine both oral and anal HPV testing — which involves a Pap smear — as well as internal and external visual evaluations. The good news is the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, has now been approved for those up to 45 years of age; however, if you are outside this age range, consult with your doctor about receiving the vaccine, as we believe anyone who engages in anal play can benefit from it.
If you have a known history of cold sores — caused by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) — you might benefit from a prescription of Valtrex prophylactically. At our practice, we often see HSV-1 down below for those who enjoy rimming/being rimmed.
Because rimming is not for everyone, before performing a rim job or any sexual act, all individuals involved need to be on the same page about what’s about to go down. Consent needs to be given by the person who will receive the rim job. Equally, if you want to receive one, you should be sure your partner is okay with doing it.
Once your partner gives you the green light or you’ve given your partner consent, you can simply incorporate it into your regular sexual repertoire.
Still, don’t be afraid to communicate with your partner(s) if any of the above-mentioned STI issues are present or of concern. In fact, you can simply swap out rimming for finger/toy play if a concern is present.
If you’re going to get a rim job, you can try stimulating your own anus beforehand to get used to the sensation. Plus, it’s important to know what you find pleasurable. You can do this using your fingers or a small sex toy. However, you should be sure to use plenty of lubrication.
Because anal rimming involves a body part that comes in contact with fecal matter, make sure to wash your anus thoroughly before getting involved in any sexual activity. You don’t necessarily need to douche or enema to prepare for rimming. Those are usually reserved for play that involves deeper penetration. However, if you do want to douche , Dr. Goldstein recommends a body-safe isotonic solution like the disposable rectal wash he helped develop.
Experts suggest the best cleanser is a gentle, non-scented soap and to avoid wet wipes since they can irritate the highly sensitive skin in that area. In addition, avoid any soaps that are too astringent since they can draw moisture front the anal region and make the skin more prone to contracting STIs.
Wash anything you use to penetrate (if you’re penetrating), like sex toys, fingers and other body parts. Afterward, you can rinse your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash to kill off any potential bacteria, though you should avoid brushing for at least an hour to prevent microtears which can give way to STI transmission.
A 2017 study published in Sexually Transmitted Infections, a research journal, looked at whether gargling with Listerine could be an effective way to reduce the risk of oral gonorrhea. The study found that after gargling for one minute, the men in the study were half as likely to have living bacteria in their mouths, which was measured doing cotton swab tests before and after gargling. Though the results may need to be treated with caution, as they are preliminary, it serves an insight to the prevention of the spread of STIs.
The rim job can be an exciting way to take elevate oral sex and with these rimming tips, you can become a pro in no time. Because the anus is so sensitive, you can play with various sensations. There is a wide variety of techniques that can help prepare your partner for anal sex or enhance other sex acts. Some love the flat-tongue method, where they lick in long, flat strokes. Others love to penetrate the anus with the tongue or use the tongue to “make out” with the anus like they would another mouth.
You can experiment to find positions that work for you, but one of the most popular is a modified version of doggie style.
To do this, have the person receiving get down on the floor or bed on all fours. The person doing the rimming should kneel behind their partner, use their hands to guide the partner’s rear to the height that provides the best angle and use their hands to spread the butt cheeks.
Whether you’re receiving or performing the rim job, there needs to be an open line of communication to ensure all parties involved are satisfied. There really is no right or wrong way to complete a rim job as long as it is enjoyable. It’s a great way to add variation to your sex life or to warm things up. Just be sure to practice safe sex and clean before and after getting the job done.

In 2014, people couldn't talk about anything but the sex act. Let's go back to 2014.
Anilingus, or rimming, was having such a great run in the mid-2010s. It had been thriving in the LGBT community for a while, but then straight people came along in 2015 and helped make her a star, like yaaas queen or Carly Rae Jepsen. We all loved rimming for a minute, but we haven't heard much about her lately. Is she happy? Is she working? Rimming: where is she now ?
Rimming is the act of stimulating someone’s anus with your mouth. There’s quite a concentration of nerves back there, so the stimulation via kissing or tongue use can be equally powerful. Granted, that's not to say that it's the miracle sexual act—a rim job comes with as much risk as any other sexual act. The possible transmission of HPV and multiple strains of hepatitis are coupled with the threat of bacterial issues. For more information, the CDC is always a great place to start. More than anything, cleanliness is the best move. The receiving partner should shower, clean the area (inside and out), and always be honest about your STD situation because you aren't a monster.
The short version of the Anilingus Wave can be traced back to around 2014, when Complex listed 25 times rappers had mentioned eating booty. Everyone from Gucci Mane to Nicki Minaj was eating and/or having their booties eaten. Good for them. Omarion released a bop featuring Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko, featured above, with the infamous line, "Gotta eat the booty like groceries." The video, at the time of this posting, has 646,162,973 views. The hip hop community had exalted anilingus to the mountaintop.
In early 2015, How to Get Away with Murder showed up to gently remind everyone with a subtle scene that gay men have been homed in on rimming for a while. The Anussaince continued, with publications from Gawker to Cosmopolitan offering their takes on anal stimulation and its moment in the sun.
Rimming thrived in the mainstream, with shoutouts still mostly kept to the gay community and hip hop: a strange unification that is typically only mentioned when Eminem says the f-word too many times and has to apologize. In its heyday, it happened: Marnie had anilingus performed on her in a surprising scene from Season Four of Girls . This, I believe, is when rimming’s descent began.
Soon after Allison Williams' go on GIRLS , Alternet published an article titled, " Ass is the New P*ssy: Why Anilingus Is on the Rise " giving quite the traction to the growing trend. The bubble burst soon after, with a plethora of late 2015 to early 2016 think pieces on everything that should and could be done with an anus . Like a poorly cooked Hot Pocket, rimming seemed to go from a piping hot trend to an uncelebrated cold mess.
Rimming is a real Daniel Day Lewis of sex acts—if she's not the star, she's not interested. If you search Google within the past year for pieces on rimming, you find mostly links to porn, a couple posts on gay-centered websites, and a strange link to a recap of American Horror Story that I decided not to click on. To paraphrase a John Green young adult novel, the trend of anilingus is like falling in love: it happened slowly, and then all at once. The last personal anecdote about rimming was earlier this year via NewNowNext when a man recounted getting his third gastrointestinal parasite, so be warned.
All of that is to say that while rimming may have gone out of style for your favorite online publications, anilingus is still here. She's thriving, even if she doesn't brag about it. And she's ready when you are. She has the trophies. She has the acclaim. And she doesn't need to flaunt it: she's just waiting for you.
If it's something you'd want to dabble in, take it slow. Though not the sexiest of the protective sheaths, a dental dam is a great gateway for someone who's never explored the Wild West of Anilingus. There are a series of lubes that can help with that unexplored territory as well, but most of all, move at your own pace. A combination of kissing, tongue work, and caressing can do wonders for 2015's favorite sex act.
The big point is that if you're taking that leap, be like anilingus: brave, adventurous, and perennially cool.

Curious about anilingus? Here’s what you need to know about rim jobs.
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 fe
