Rimming is the popular term for analingus; it is when you lick or kiss your lover’s anal opening for erotic stimulation. If you find rimming distasteful, skip this page, but know that for every person who recoils there is a person who wholeheartedly enjoys giving or getting a rim job.
Rimming can be delightfully nasty, or a deeply tender act that two lovers share. You can make the experience into anything you want. For many people, rimming is their preferred form of anal stimulation because the lips and tongue of their lover are softer and more sensitive than fingers, a toy, a penis, or dildo.
Learning to rim takes a little know-how, but most importantly, rimming requires that you know about safety concerns and have established trust and sexual communication with your partner. And rimming isn’t for folks who are afraid or ashamed of the sex they already share with their partner. Enhance your techniques when you learn more about fellatio and cunnilingus.

John Stagliano has taken admiration of the female backside to dizzying heights, and for anyone who likes beautiful natural gals with generous bottoms and who love anal sex, and love series’ with lots of rimming and face-sitting, this all-sex series is an unending supply of heaven. In his adventures, Buttman roams Europe, Brazil, and a little bit of the U.S. with his camera, filming one hot Euro babe after another who perform uninhibited, intense sex acts for the camera, with well-hung (usually European) studs. The scenes are then edited together for a particular tape. His banter with the performers is fun, respectful, enthusiastic about sex, and quite humorous, and everyone laughs and has a good time.
What’s nice is that the women look and enjoy the sex as mature young women, not the giggly girls usually found in typical American gonzo porn. Erotic and enjoyable in feel and atmosphere, the exquisite locales are a far cry from cheap Southern California hotel rooms. Many tapes feature Rocco Siffredi in one or more scenes. Often the women (and their men) are making their first or only appearances for the camera, and real-life couples crop up from time to time. The Buttman videos regularly win AVN awards. I highly recommend Buttman’s Bend Over Babes, where big beautiful female butts and spicy European women from the U.S., Brazil, and Hungary, having lots of anal sex in all combinations. This series is a favorite; high-quality filming, exuberant performances, and torrid sex make this a very popular choice.
Like rimming — and plot? John “Buttman” Stagliano’s first full-length feature film Face Dance is an arresting epic, combining his then-obsession for the erotic immediacy of sexual contact with the face — facial come shots, smothering, rimming, forced ass-licking, and so on. Rocco Siffredi comes to Hollywood as an Italian movie stud, whose pressures on the set conspire with his repressed sexual fixations and reduce him to a man helplessly in thrall to his sexual obsessions. Note the riveting scene in which Tina Tyler puts Siffredi in his place. Won five avn and adam film awards, is a two-part set, and contains extreme sex acts.

Some consider flavored lubes to be distasteful — why would you want to cover up the yummy taste of your lover? Meanwhile, others are nervous about the tastes and smells they might find — or present to their lovers, making flavored lubes a great way to enjoy rimming while being able to relax. Well, I relish the taste of my lovers, but sometimes it’s fun to enjoy rimming with a little “twist!” Flavored lubes can add a new level of fun.
Just keep in mind that if your lover has vaginal parts, you won’t want those flavored lubes going into her pussy — they invariably contain sugar, which will likely give her a yeast infection. Also, do select your flavors carefully — for instance, I thought that cherry flavored lube might be yummy, but it would up making my boy-toy’s bootie taste like cough syrup. My advice? Stick with tropical flavors, synthetic flavors like bubblegum, or flavors you know you like.
