Rimming
Rimming is licking your partners butt. Not to everyone’s taste but for some the reason they get up in the morning.
Rimming is often a precursor to fucking – can help your partner relax, but it doesn’t have to be lead to fucking.
You can do it when they are lying on their front or have them sit of your face. It’s up to you and for most people cleanliness will be an important factor.
But how safe is it?
Rimming is very low risk in terms of HIV. The main foreseeable risk would probably be around blood, if there were an open wound or bleeding from the arse, but blood would still have to some way get from a positive person’s bloodstream into someone else’s.
When all is said and done, this is pretty unlikely when it comes to rimming.
Other STIs can be passed on through rimming, such as hepatitis A and B.
So get your hepatitis vaccinations, get checked out regularly at the GUM, and GET YOUR TONGUE IN HIS ARSE!
