The anilingus ( Latin anus " anus " and lingere "licking"; English rimming or rim job ; also called oroanal contact , tongue anal (abbreviated ZA), anal licking or Latin incorrectly called analingus ) represents an oral sexual practice in which the Anus , usually including the perineal region , is stimulated with lips and tongue, and can be done both superficially and by penetrating the anus with the tongue. The anal region is covered with numerous nerve endings and is one of the erogenous zones of many people.

No primary or secondary sex characteristic is involved in sexual practice, as may be the case. a. while kissing . Accordingly, anilingus can take place equally between people of different or same sex.

Positions in anilingus

Anilingus can be practiced in many different positions. One embodiment is so-called facesitting , in which the recipient crouches over the face of the giving partner lying on his back. In principle, any position is possible in which the anus of the recipient can be easily reached by the tongue.

Health risks

With regard to health risks, a fundamental distinction must first be made between a “clean anilingus” and an “unclean / dirty anilingus”. In clean anilingus, as practiced in many commercial porn films , anal hygiene plays a crucial role. The anus is usually not only thoroughly cleaned on the outside, but often an additional intestinal irrigation, rinsing of the rectum, is carried out in order to be able to guarantee hygiene even when the tongue penetrates deeper. With this approach, the risk of infection is relatively low. As an alternative (or additional) protective measure, a leak cloth (technical term: rubber dam ) (special film, similar to transparent film) can be used, as it is sold specifically for protection during cunnilingus .

In the case of "dirty" anilingus, which shows parallels to coprophilia , this is not taken into account or even emphasis is placed on a dirty anus, from which any remains of faeces are then licked off and cleaned with the tongue. This is associated with a high health risk for the active (giving) partner because of the large amount of faecal bacteria contained in the feces, especially in the case of an acute infectious disease of the gastrointestinal tract. However, an intestinal flora does not necessarily have to contain pathogenic germs, let alone viruses, whereby the health risk is determined by it alone.

Special ways of playing

Most of the special ways of playing anilingus focus on applying something to the anus or inserting it into the intestinal duct before the licking process. A wide variety of objects are conceivable here.

Sometimes smother boxes are also used as part of the practice .

Related sex practices

The "Ass-To-Mouth" (A2M) is closely related to anilingus. The erect member (or alternatively also sex toys) is inserted into the mouth of the passive partner immediately after anal intercourse, whereby an "indirect" anilingus takes place.

Felching describes a sexual practice in which a person licks semen (usually their own) from or from the partner's anus after ejaculation.

Anilingus as a punishment

Forced and mostly public anilingus has always served as humiliation and punishment, mostly for prisoners. So it found some distribution in the Thirty Years War , as described by Grimmelshausen in Der adventurous Simplicissimus Teutsch .
