Rimming refers to licking someone’s asshole. Your hole and the area around it have many nerve endings, and so are very sensitive. Having someone lick your hole can feel great and be very erotic. Rimming is not for everyone, but for some guys it can be an important part of foreplay. For the guy doing the rimming, focusing on his partner’s ass can enhance his arousal as he anticipates sliding his cock inside. For the guy being rimmed, having his ass licked can feel great and help relax his sphincter making it easier to then take his partner’s cock.

HIV has never been transmitted by rimming. However, rimming can transmit other infectious organisms that may be present in the gut. Hepatitis A as well as Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter ,and Giardia can all be passed on by rimming. Of course, this can only happen if the guy being rimmed has one of these infections. Hepatitis A causes a serious liver infection. Make sure you have been immunized to Hepatitis A. Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, and Giardia all cause diarrheal illnesses.
