How to give a rimjob: 10 tips & techniques from a seasoned ass-eater

I’ll put my hands up and admit it, I love to munch a nice juicy peach, and I’m not talking about the fuzzy fruit. I’m talking about anilingus, otherwise known as rimming or eating ass.

I enjoy using my tongue to tickle and titivate my guy’s starfish, licking around the edges and thrusting it in really turns us both on.

The good news is that everyone can get in on the back door action regardless of gender or orientation. I can deliver a first-rate rim job, but I love to receive one too, and anilingus still has that naughtiness to make it feel slightly taboo.

If you fancy giving a booty job here’s how to give a rim job with 10 tips and techniques from a seasoned ass eater.

Make sure the butt is clean

If I’m going ass to mouth, I need a clean one to go down on. I can’t imagine anything worse than emerging from between their legs with bits of toilet paper stuck to my tongue!

So, my guy takes a shower and gives his butt a good wash. Some people like to douche too. This involves squirting water into the butt using a shower head attachment, compressible bulb or enema kit. Hole the water inside for around five to fifteen seconds and then let it go.

Make sure the butt is tasty

You can’t control your lover’s diet, but you can have a chat about ways they can help to make their ass flavorsome. Lean white meat, fruits and certain veggies can improve the taste of your ass.

However, there are a few foods to avoid such as onions and cabbage. Certain foods can cause smelly gas and only hardcore butt players like to lick out a pongy hole. You can make the ass tastier by using flavored water-based lube my personal fave is pineapple, but there’s lots to choose from.

Shave the bum fluff

It’s not compulsory, but I prefer going down on a smooth ass. It’s off-putting when you end up with a stray hair stuck in your teeth, so I like to rim a hair-free hole.

I also find shaving very hot and I get turned on when my lover gets up close and personal, rubbing shaving gel into my intimate areas then gently shaving off any stray hairs. My guy’s ass is particularly hairy so I have to resist the urge to run the shaver over his cheeks too!

Heaps of hole tickling

I love having my hole tickled and teased by a talented tongue. My lover uses the tip to gently lap at the area and once he knows I’m comfy (he can tell by my soft moans and groans of pleasure), he presses in further and further.

I’m not into aggressive rimming, just having my hole licked deeply and continuously doesn’t really do it for me. I prefer ringing the changes with some licking, tongue-flicking and gentle tongue thrusts.

Tantalize the area around the hole

The area surrounding the ass-hole is super-sensitive so you can turn your lover on by paying attention to that too. If you focus solely on licking the hole things can get dull, and too much saliva can also dry out a tender butt hole.

Instead use your tongue to tantalize the hot spots around the area, delicately flicking and licking to drive your lover wild.

Get creative with licking patterns

Your tongue can do so much more than just poke out and poke in. Get creative in ass-land and use it to trace patterns such as circular rings, spirals and zig zags.

You can alternate between using the flatter, broader area of the tongue and the pointy tip to create different sensations.

Change it up by licking horizontally then vertically, and by using long drawn-out strokes versus short and brief flicks. I’ve also heard you can use your tongue to spell out words. I’m guessing this makes play more interesting as your tongue randomly shifts direction.

Use your breath and your tongue

Whilst your skilled tongue offers plenty to the butt, you can also use your breath to turn up the sexual heat. I adore the feeling of my guy’s hot breath on the back of my neck as he gently kisses me, and it feels just as nice when he takes that action downstairs.

My lover opens his mouth slightly, streaming warm air on my ass hole - which not only tingles but also helps moisten my hot-spot. He likes to take me by surprise sometimes by delicately blowing cold air on the area too, and he does this by making an “o” shape with his lips and gently puffing.

Explore other areas

Repetitive rimming can be boring, so I like to play with more than just the ass-hole. I let my hands wander - stroking inner things, and running my fingernails down his naked butt cheeks. I also let my tongue wander on occasion, and I know my guy loves it when I trace my tongue around the sensitive area between his ass and his cock.

Be careful if using teeth

Teeth and a no-go for me, I’m too scared to get toothy with a tender ass and I don’t want anyone chomping on my hole. I’ve heard that some expert rimmers have perfected this technique, but in my opinion it’s not for the faint-hearted or occasional ass-eaters.

I don’t mind the sensation of teeth carefully clashing against ass (after all when you’re using your mouth down there that can easily happen), but it’s a firm no from me when it comes to biting my butthole.

Check in with your lover

You’ll obviously need to talk to your lover before you have a go at giving or receiving a rim job. Discussion is needed to outline expectations, talk about boundaries and to identify a safe word/signal.

If you’re the one ass eating, keep an eye on your lover to gauge their reaction. I omit soft groans and moans, sometimes rocking back and forth slowly to meet my man’s tongue. As the receiver I’ll offer reassurance that the rimming feels great, and if I’m feeling greedy, I’ll even beg for more!

Become a seasoned ass eater

Don’t overthink ass eating, treat it as you would using your mouth to pleasure other intimate areas such as lips, pussy and cock.

However, in order to go down south and munch a peach you do need to be a butt lover. Don’t shy away from rim-jobs, it’s time to use your tongue to discover the wonderful world of ass-eating.
