Analingus: Oral Anal Play

Analingus or rimming is the act of performing oral sex of the anal area. Analingus is not a common sexual practice even today, but times are changing. If you are curious and open to new adventures, analingus can bring you a multitude of wonderful sensations and is also an excellent warm-up for anal sex. The anus is lined with many sensitive nerve endings, so when these are stimulated by the touch of a warm, wet tongue, the result can be quite pleasurable. The key to enjoying these new sensations is to get over any inhibitions and embrace analingus as an incredibly sensual and intimate act between lovers.

How to Perform Analingus

Cleanliness is even more of a issue with analingus than with genital oral sex. Taking a bath or shower together is a relaxing form of foreplay and will allow your partner to get squeaky clean. You and your partner should soap your butt and anus, inserting a finger into the rectum, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. An enema usually isn't necessary if you wash well.

Like other forms of oral sex, take your time, relax, and gradually arouse your partner. You could start with genital oral sex, and then as your partner's body becomes more aroused, it can be a natural progression to lick further south. If you are performing cunnilingus, be sure not to go back up to the vagina after licking the anus in order to prevent any bacterial infection.

The greatest pleasure of analingus comes from tender kisses, loving licks and variations of tongue movements circling in and around the anus, igniting all those sensitive nerve endings. You can use both hands to spread the anus wide and then point your tongue and insert it in and out.

Analingus Positions

Sideways 69 is a good position to start out with. Regular 69 can be a bit tricky for you to get in to a comfortable and accessible position that you can both enjoy, but if you both turn side on, you can massage, lick, and suck to your mutual delight. When you are ready and feel completely comfortable with exposure, try the following positions:

Doggy

Doggy is where the receiver assumes the doggy position kneeling down, and the giver kneels behind and gently spreads each butt check to expose the anus.

Bent Over

This position is self-explanatory. However, you can modify it by the receiver bending over the edge of a bed or chair to maximize comfort for both parties.

Legs Up

In this position, the receiver lies on their back with their legs open and bent, knees drawn up to their chest. The giver lies on their stomach in front. This position can be made more comfortable with the receiver lying on the edge of the bed, and the giver keeling in front.

Analingus is an intimate act that requires a high level of comfort with your sexual partner. If you both want it, analingus can be a wonderful experience for a couple. The total acceptance of each other's bodies with no part being off limits can strengthen both the sexual and emotional connection with your lover.
