What is rimming?

Rimming is exploring someone’s arse with your tongue, including licking the arse hole and maybe pushing the tongue inside. A ‘rimming stool’ is a specially made chair that lets someone sit with their bare arse accessible to the rimmer, who lies underneath the seat.


What’s the attraction?

As a warm-up for fucking, rimming can relax or tease the arse hole, getting it used to being probed before it takes a finger or cock.
With lots of nerve endings in the arse hole, being rimmed is a treat for many and rimming can be a signal of intense closeness. Part of the thrill is breaking the taboo we’re brought up with that says the arse is dirty and shouldn’t be played with, let alone licked. Rimming, and the breaking of such strong taboos, plays with the power dynamics of degradation and submission: “kiss my arse” is a powerful way of calling for someone’s humiliation.
Although some men prefer a freshly washed arse to rim, others find the taste and smell of a sweaty arse crack adds to the thrill.
