Rimming 101: How to Give a Great Rim Job

What could be more bootylicious than rimming? If you’re not familiar with the term, may we suggest analingus, rim jobs, booty licking, eating out, or tossing the salad? No matter what you call it, we’re talking about oral sex in and around the anus, and trust us, it feels amazing. 

Rimming is great because it doesn't need penetration. There are many sensitive nerve endings around the anus that can cause intense arousal when stimulated. Plus, let’s face it, the act feels so naughty, and that’s a huge turn-on. So let’s get rimming!

How do you prepare to give or receive a rim job?

1. Talk to your partner about it. Is it something you’re both into? Fantastic! If either of you are unsure, read along, and you’ll find some tips and tricks to experiment without diving all the way in. 
2. Wash your hands thoroughly before. That goes for both of you. For the receiver, wash around your rim and dip inside to ensure there’s nothing lurking. For the giver, clean your hands thoroughly and under your nails. 
3. If you’re still unsure about the ‘ick’ factor of coming face to face (so to speak) with your partner’s booty, try using a dental dam, or you can cut a regular condom from bottom to top and use it as a barrier between your mouth and your partner’s anus. Betty’s pro tip: Put some Water Based Lube on your partner’s booty if you’re using this method because it will make everything glide better and feel more intense

Rim job tips and tricks

1. Start slowly with massaging and kissing your partner’s lower back, thighs, and the area around the booty. 
2. Try to use lots of saliva to ease the way. Add a touch of Flavored Lubricant to really give yourself a treat
3. Don’t go all in with your tongue at first or you’ll get tired too quickly. Try licking and kissing, alternated with blowing air on the wetted rim
4. Alternate wide-tongued swipes with pointed tongue circling and dipping.
5. No biting (unless they ask you to). You can slowly drag your teeth, but be mindful of the sensitive skin you’re working with.
6. Don’t forget the taint! There are so many sensitive nerve endings in the perineum, so make sure you pay a visit either with your tongue or gently with your fingers as you lick them open.
7. If the receiver has a vulva, avoid licking from back to front. This increases the chance of transmitting bacteria from the anus to the vulva. 

Next levels rimming techniques

1. Use your fingers when your tongue gets tired or you can try a Licking Tongue Sex Toy. Then, you can take your partner from start to climax without needing a break!
2. Get your partner to masturbate while you rim them. They can use their own fingers or a sex toy for a thrilling blended orgasm experience. A Pocket Pussy or a Clitoral Vibrator are not only going to feel amazing but will add that extra level of ‘naughty’ that is such a turn-on. 
3. Add a Butt Plug to the party! Rim your partner around the plug so they feel your tongue plus that delicious fullness. 

Solo rimming! Yes, it’s possible

Just because you don't have a partner doesn’t mean you should miss out on the joys of rimming. Betty’s has a great selection of vibrators with tireless waggling tongues that will do the job and never tire out! Make sure you add some Water Based Lubricant and enjoy those bootylicious thrills. 

Word to the wise: If you are incorporating a sex toy into your rimming play, please make sure it includes a flared base and is specifically marked as an anal play toy. Nobody wants their rim job fun to end in a toy being over-inserted and stuck. 

With that said, we wish you tons of rimming fun and you can check out our links below to Betty’s favorite accessories to help you rim like a pro!
