How to do rimming properly?

Are you considering rimming your partner, or would you like to receive rimming, and are you looking for advice to make this moment as successful as possible? Then you've come to the right place, you'll receive all our advice here so that rimming, which is also more poetically called rose leaf, is done as perfectly as possible. Still a little taboo, rimming is nevertheless a practice that offers great sensations, because the anus is filled with nerve endings. In addition, rimming can be a preliminary step to sodomy or the use of sex toys such as the anal plug .

​

Below is everything you need to know about rimming.

​

What is rimming?

Before presenting in detail the good practices for good rimming, here is first of all a small definition. An anilingus is a sexual practice, more precisely an oral practice, which consists of titillating, stimulating the anus of your partner using your tongue. Why is this an interesting area for a sexual practice? Because the anus has many nerve endings which, when tickled, can cause very beautiful sensations.

​

You will understand, everyone having an anus, rimming is a sexual practice that can concern:

​

• both men and women,

• both straight and gay.

How many people practice rimming in France?

Through my Instagram account @faistoimale dedicated to male sexualities, I asked several questions to my community on the subject of rimming. Indeed, I wanted to have a precise idea of the practice, a very taboo practice that few people dare to talk about.

​

• To the question, have you ever done rimming, nearly 82% of respondents (more than 1,500) answered yes.

• To the question, have you ever received a rimming, nearly 83 of the respondents answered yes.

​

The practice of rimming as a sexual act is therefore very widespread.

​

I also asked a third question, do you like rimming?, 87% of people answered yes. And yes, you can do rimming to please your partner without liking this practice.

​

There you go, so if you had any fears telling yourself that no one is doing it, well you are wrong and you can go for it. Likewise, if you don't dare to do it to your partner, don't worry here either: it is very likely that he or she has already received or done rimming.

​

Why do rimming?

​

Several reasons can lead you to do a rimming

​

Rimming to please your partner

As we saw above, the anus contains many nerve endings. It is therefore a very pleasant area for the person receiving the rimming, it can indeed allow him to discover new sensations or quite simply to heat up! Rimming is not necessarily a preliminary act, it can occur at any time during sexual intercourse.

But above all, rimming can also be a good way to excite yourself by doing it to your partner. Indeed, when a rimming is done, it is not uncommon to see the partner waddle, bulge the torso or chest, shiver, even do a masturbation at the same time, etc. Especially since when you do a rimming your partner may think that anal penetration will happen quickly, exciting him even more. If you ever have a beard, the feeling of hair against your buttocks can also be a source of excitement. You are going to have a very nice glimpse of the pleasure you are giving to your partner, which could therefore increase your excitement.

​

Rimming as a preparatory act for sodomy

​

One of the reasons why rimming can be performed is of course as a preliminary step to sodomy. And this for two reasons :

​

• on the one hand, it allows your partner to prepare for anal penetration, whether with a penis or with a sex toy such as an anal plug or prostate stimulator. Indeed, while you are rimming him, your partner concentrates on this area, even relaxes on this area, which will make anal penetration easier.

• on the other hand, by doing a rimming, not only will you start the dilation of the anus thanks to the work of your tongue, but in addition you will bring natural lubricant with your saliva. However, be careful on this point, saliva will never replace a good anal lubricant. To dilate the anus even more, you can use your fingers or even a plug-type sex toy.

​

Rimming as an act of domination

​

Finally, apart from the position generally lying on your stomach or on your back with folded legs, rimming can also be performed as part of a game of domination and submission. Indeed, the person who performs the rimming can have total domination over his or her partner. And besides, this practice may be accompanied by small spankings, spitting in the anus, using an anal hook , etc.

​

How to prepare for rimming?

​

Both partners must of course prepare themselves so that the rimming is perfectly carried out.

A shower before rimming

​

Your partner must have taken a shower beforehand, to be perfectly clean. Of course, a particular focus will have to be made on the level of the anus, with a good cleaning and a good shower gel (the softest possible, because the anus being a fragile zone). So, at the level of the shower, insist well on the anus, on the contours of the anus and even a little inside the anus by washing it well. We insist on the inside of the anus because during rimming, the tongue can indeed enter the anus. Why is this step of the shower important?

​

• because the anus can be an area with a fairly strong smell, which can be unpleasant for the person who is going to perform the rimming.

• moreover, the anus is not necessarily a completely clean area, fecal matter can be there, especially in the hairs, if it has been poorly cleaned after having a bowel movement.

After taking your shower, remember to dry yourself well, so as not to leave any moisture. Indeed, in some people, the humidity can cause a strong smell, which could disturb your partner who is going to give you anilingus.

Waxing before rimming

​

Another advice we would give you to make rimming as pleasant as possible is to go through the depilation of the anus first. Yes, you read it correctly. Moreover, rather than talking about waxing the anus, it is more correct to talk about waxing the intergluteal furrow (or SIF), i.e. the area located in the groove of the buttocks, before the so anus. Because the anus, being a mucous membrane, has no hair. If your partner has butt hair, you can also ask him to do a butt wax if you don't like the hair.

Why do a hair removal of the SIF before? For two main reasons:

​

• without hair at the SIF, there will be no risk of faecal matter sticking to the hairs. The area will therefore be perfectly clean to accommodate licks.

• the sensation will be more pleasant, both for the one doing the rimming (no risk of having hairs stuck to the tongue) and for the one receiving the rimming (more pleasure because the sensations will be stronger).

You can even perform this part of hair removal with your partner, it can indeed be a sexual game.

Here are the products I recommend for removing hair from the anus. I do not recommend using a depilatory cream , because the anus is a very fragile area and the cream could burn the area. Which would be a shame just before rimming.
