Question: what is the best way to let your partner know that you are interested in analingus?

elicia said...

you mean, besides just saying "can you lick my ass tonite?"

well it all depends on your communication with your partner. is sex something you two talk about openly and honestly, in the bedroom and outside of a sexual exchange? if so, then that's half your battle. you might start by talking to your partner about other ways s/he turns you on and then segue into your desire for anal play. you can also introduce some fun accompaniments such as whip cream, chocolate sauce, etc. and put them on you in places you want licked.

hope this helps and that you get all the hot, fun, silly sex you deserve!

It doesn't sound very hygienic. Shouldn't that be a concern?

I don't understand how any responsible sex "educator" can give advice like this without reviewing the obvious health risks and appropriate safety precautions.

Kind of makes you wonder.

re: safety and health comment. i responded to the question about how to let your partner know you are interested in analingus. i wasn't necessarily talking about how to necessarily "engage" in anal play, per se. however you bring up an important point which is safety and health. STDs such as herpes, gonorrhea, human papillomavirus (HPV), and hepatitis, which can infect the anus, also present a risk. It's also possible to be exposed to blood if there are cuts or tears in the anus, or any traces of bloody feces. (www.goaskalice.columbia.edu). it is best to use a latex barrier (dental dam) when the tongue will come in contact with the ass.

in terms of "hygiene" i assume the comment was referring to the poop factor. to reduce the chance of running into the brown surprise, the receiver can go #2 and wash area. relatively little poop will remain in the rectum after going to the bathroom. some people use anal douche/enema, though this is not recommended because it can irritate the lining and make you more susceptible to STDs and HIV.

hope this helps. ass play is a great way of exploring your sexuality, and nothing is hotter than safer sex!

Well, I'm talking about licking the other's ass, actually. Having my ass licked? That's disgusting. Do you have any idea what I've been using my ass for, for the past 27 years?

I have a friend who did that (licked the ass of the other), and then a bit later went to kiss his partner ... and his partner threw up, literally. And I'm not even kidding. That is enough to put me off the idea, I guess.

What do you think of that?

"nothing is hotter than safer sex"

What a lot of bullshit sloganeering. Hot is hot. Safe is safe. Both are important. Safe is more important. But, they're separate issues. Acting like they're intertwined helps no one.

re: last comment. i realize "safer sex is hotter sex" is not a notion some can comprehend. however, i could not disagree more that "safe" and "hot" are mutually exclusive. safer sex is hot sex because when people play safely, they are free from the worry of acquiring/transmitting an STI or pregnancy or the post-sex guilt that sometimes accompanies unprotected sex. also - sex is much more than simply a penis entering an orafice. therefore, safer sex is more than simply wrapping it up. safer sex means exploring the myriad ways one can experience and express her/his sexuality. it involves touching, licking, sucking, biting, rubbing, grinding, tickling, eating, taunting, laughing and even sometimes crying. figuring out ways to reduce sexual risks allows one the opportunity to expand her/his sexual repertoire and enhance sexual pleasure. so while "safer sex is hotter sex" might sound like a slogan to some, others view it as a liberating means to achieving a happy and healthy sex life.

"i realize 'safer sex is hotter sex' is not a notion some can comprehend."

Very well. Can you comprehend the fact that, in plain English, you just stated that no one can comprehend the notion that "safer sex is hotter sex"?

Further, no one in any discourse on this page said that safe and hot are mutually exclusive.

Reading and writing are both important skills. As important, or more important, than analingus.
