Top 7 Analingus Positions
My girlfriend and I were in the throes of passion, exploring each other’s bodies. She gently laid me back on the bed and parted my legs. She began to give me oral, her tongue expertly flicking over my clit.
Suddenly, she started to move further down, towards my anus. “Can I?” she asked.
I was surprised but curious. I’d never had a rim job before. But I trusted her, so I said yes!
She helped me raise my hips and began to lick my anus. It was unlike anything I’d ever felt. My moans grew louder as the pleasure intensified and I let myself relax into the sensation…
Analingus was once far more taboo, just like anal sex! But now people are more open about their desires and exploring new sexual activities.
If you’re curious about analingus or are looking for more guidance, this article is for you. We’ll explore the best rimming positions and share some tips to maximize enjoyment and intimacy.
What is Analingus?
First things first, what is analingus? It’s the act of using your tongue to stimulate your partner’s asshole. It’s a form of oral sex, just like cunnilingus and its positions. It involves licking, sucking, and kissing in and around the anus.
You will also hear analingus referred to as ‘anilingus’, ‘rimming’, a ‘rim job’, or ‘eating ass’ – they all mean the same thing!
Who Can Try Analingus?
Rimming can be enjoyed by any consenting adult, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Some people think it’s just for gay penis owners, but there are no limits when it comes to eating ass!
Why Do People Like Analingus?
If this is a fairly new idea for you, you might find yourself wondering: “Why would people want to lick someone’s ass? And why would you want yours licked?” Those are valid questions and there are some clear answers.
We do most sexual activities because they feel good, and rimming is no different. The anus is full of sensitive nerve endings, which makes it feel great when it’s stimulated. In fact, it shares branches of the pudendal nerve. That’s the nerve that enables us to sexually stimulate the penis and vagina.
Just as with other types of oral sex, people like doing it to their partners because they want to make them feel good. I find turning a lover on incredibly arousing!
For some people, eating ass can be part of the build-up to anal sex or other forms of anal play. Some people enjoy rimming because it’s ‘taboo’ or feels ‘naughty’ – this can be a real turn-on. Others use it to spice up their sex life.
Oral sex can be very intimate. The same can be said for analingus, perhaps even more so. This can help enhance a feeling of closeness and intimacy, which is part of why some people love it.
No matter what the reason, rimming is way more popular than you might think. It’s happening in bedrooms worldwide (probably right now as you’re reading this)!
Top 7 Analingus Positions
Finding the right position to eat ass is key. You want both you and your partner to be comfortable so you can fully enjoy it.
Below are some of the best analingus positions to help guide you.
1. Doggy Style
Doggy style is a classic analingus position, offering clear access to your partner’s anus. The receiving partner gets on their hands and knees and the giving partner kneels behind them. For better access, the giver can spread the receiver’s ass cheeks.
This position is popular because it’s relatively comfortable for both partners. It’s also fantastic if you’re using rimming as foreplay for anal sex because you’re already in the perfect position!
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the most accessible position. If you’re disabled or have back or knee pain, you might want to try another option.
2. Face Sitting
Just like it sounds, face sitting or queening involves the receiver straddling the giver’s face and squatting or kneeling there. You can sit facing your partner’s head or facing away from them (also known as reverse face sitting).
I like this option because it gives the receiver some control. However, it’s not the most comfortable and does require some strength to maintain balance. The receiver can hold onto the bed head or lean against the wall for stability.
Some people love this position because it gets their partner’s asshole and the butt cheeks right in their face, creating a smothering effect that’s perfect for consensual breath play.
3. Classic Rim job or Spread Eagle
In the classic rimjob otherwise called spread eagle position, the receiver lies on their back with legs spread wide (like the wings of an eagle). This offers excellent access to the giver.
A pillow under the receiver’s hips can improve the angle and increase comfort. The giver can tilt the receiver’s pelvis upward for better access to the anus and to reduce neck strain.
This is one of my preferred rimming positions because it’s accessible for many people, particularly as the receiver.
4. Analingus 69
You will have heard of the 69 position when it comes to regular oral sex. Well, let me introduce you to the analingus 69 position!
Just as you might expect, this position allows both partners to perform rim jobs simultaneously. Or one partner can give oral to the genitals while the other gives a rim job.
This position can be great fun, but it requires coordination and flexibility. The key is to find a comfortable angle that gives you the access you need.
5. Standing Rim job
The standing rim job position involves the receiver standing while the giver kneels or crouches behind them. If you have a big juicy ass like me, your partner may need to spread your cheeks to get better access.
The receiver can steady themselves against a wall or lean on another surface. If you’re disabled but can stand, you could use your mobility aid if you have a walking stick or a rollator. Mobility aids can be used in the bedroom too!
I like using this position in the shower. It ensures a clean anus, and it’s super sexy!
6. Receiver Bent Over
With this position, the receiver spreads their legs slightly and bends over the bed or another surface. The giver kneels behind them to access their partner’s ass.
I enjoy this option because it’s fantastic for other forms of anal play and anal penetration. It’s also great for a bit of spanking if, like me, that’s something that turns you on.
It’s also reasonably comfortable and provides plenty of stability for the giver, as they have something comfy to lean on. You can add a pillow under the giver’s knees for extra comfort.
7. Rim Shot
Last but not least is my favorite analingus position – the rim shot! The receiver lies on their back with their knees bent towards their chest. The giver kneels or lies in front of them.
It’s one of the more comfortable rimming positions for both partners and provides excellent anal access.
If you struggle to hold your legs up position, you can use your hands to help hold them up. I also recommend a pillow to elevate the receiver’s hips.
How To Eat Ass Like a Pro: Top Techniques for Enhancing Your Rim Job Experience
I’ve included some of my best rim job tips below:
Talk to your partner: Communication about preferences and boundaries is vital, especially if you’re new to anal play. Clear consent from both partners is always the most important thing.
Use protection: Use a dental dam to create a barrier while giving a rim job. If you don’t have one on hand, you can cut up a condom and use it in a similar way.
Experiment: Try different rimming positions to see what feels best for you and your partner. You can also experiment with different ways of using your tongue.
Add other forms of stimulation: Get your hands in there, reach around and stimulate their genitals, or involve some toys. You could even use a dildo or vibrator to introduce some double penetration for vulva owners.
Don’t double dip: To avoid infection, it’s crucial you don’t insert anything into the vagina that you have previously inserted into your partner’s asshole. You should also avoid giving cunnilingus or a blow job after a rim job.
Prioritize hygiene: Some people like to go for a douche or enema, but that’s not always necessary. Generally a thorough clean with mild soap and water before the act will be enough. If the receiver has an upset stomach or is feeling gassy, it’s best to avoid a rim job.
Use lube: The anus doesn’t self-lubricate, so using some lube can make things easier, especially if you’re going to incorporate other types of anal play. I recommend some flavored lube – it can help the receiver feel a bit more confident if they’re nervous about how they’ll taste.
Relax: Try to relax into it and let yourself enjoy the experience. Although trying something new can be nerve-wracking, the whole point is to have fun.
Aftercare: Afterwards, you can clean up and check in with each other to talk about how it went. Make sure you brush your teeth or rinse out your mouth, especially if you didn’t use protection.
