Let's talk rimming. I mean, I'm intrigued. But there's definitely an eeewwww factor for me, at least if I'm on the 'giving' end. Suggestions?

Ah the ol’ salad toss. Seems like rimming is everywhere these days. Everyone is talking about it, doing it, wearing it on the red carpet. Wait, I may be thinking of bold primary colors.

Though rimming has actually been around for a long time, it does feel like a hot topic lately and personally I think it’s great! That we’re…talking…about it…

There are tons of nerve endings and sensitive spots there, and though it probably won’t result in orgasm just from rimming alone, it feels really good and is a wonderful addition to any sexual buffet.

I want to emphasize that it’s important to be open minded and to reciprocate and try new things. Maybe you’ll find that you really, really enjoy it. Maybe not. Maybe sometimes, under the right circumstances, you’ll add just a little taste on the side. But you also don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with, not even when it seems like everyone is doing it.

Some tips:

Take a shower or bath together first, get each other extra squeaky clean and ready for fun then dive on in. Or if your partner would prefer to tidy up more thoroughly alone, use that anticipation to add to the experience; they’re doing something for both of you, and you can express gratitude for their thoughtfulness with your enthusiasm. And by enthusiasm I mean your tongue.

As always, be safe not sorry and use protection. For anilingus that means a barrier like a dental dam, or in a pinch, a non-lubricated condom with the tip snipped off and then cut open down one side. You can even try a flavored condom for a little extra something. And if your partner has a vagina, rimming should be the last item you put on your plate to avoid spreading bacteria.

Salad, anyone?
