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
