Generating image of the sex position Anilingus (Rim Job)
Anatomy and biomechanics

Oral stimulation of the anal region, densely innervated. The position of the receiver determines access: quadruped, prone with elevated pelvis or supine with flexed legs. As it is an area with bacterial flora, previous hygiene and barriers (dental dam) are recommended to minimize transmission risks. Non-penetrative practice, with a high intimate load.

Why this position works

The sensitivity of the area makes the stimulation surprisingly pleasurable, and the practice has a strong sense of intimacy, surrender and breaking taboos that many couples find very exciting. Combined with manual stimulation of other areas, it multiplies the sensations.

Anilingus: the pleasure of the rim job

A practice as taboo as it is pleasurable. Anilingus —oral stimulation of the anus— surprises by how sensitive the area is and the intense intimacy it generates. With good hygiene and trust, it's a pleasure that many couples discover and adopt.
