Let me state for the record that I am NOT trying to test the limits of IMHO nor am I trying to piss anyone off (**[Khadaji](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146031)**), I just feel that somebody ought to start this thread for the sake of completeness. Men? Women? Have you ever? Did you like it? If you’ve never done it, would you? I’ll start: I’m a man, and no I’ve never rimmed or been rimmed. I was seeing a woman earlier this year who expressed an interest in being rimmed, but the relationship fizzled out before it became an issue. Personally, I’m rather put off by the idea of putting my tongue in someone’s butt. How 'bout you? ---

everyone else is a wuss. 😃 I’ve done it. Both give and receive. LOVE IT. Sex is messy and sticky and weird if you’re doing it right. I love every PART of my husband’s body, so it doesn’t gross me out. That’s just my opinion of course. ---

I think thats one of the places where i place a limit, both giving and recieving. ---

So **Y.T** and I are the only prudes? I guess most of the people who find anuses (anii?) gross already made their disgust known in the anal sex thread. I’m sh_t-phobic, what can I say? Well, not exactly phobic, I just think that the sight, smell, or (god forbid) TASTE of sh_t would kill the mood for me faster than her father busting through the door with a shotgun. Before I could toss a woman’s salad, I would have to be reasonably confident that I would not come in contact with sh\*t. ---

Given and received. Love it but only do it right out of the shower. ---

a. if you really want to get down and dirty about it, a great many people use enemas as a sort of foreplay before anal play. That way you’re sure to clean everything out, and your partner has that exciting feeling of fullness that you can control and make her hold until YOU say she can release it. b. that, of course, is an extreme. c. if you have regular bowel movements and are a generally clean person, there really shouldn’t be poop knockin’ at the anal door at all times. It’s usually a few inches in. ---

At least, I didn’t. And I didn’t smell anything bad, either. It was a very intimate and erotic experience, and I’d do it again with the right woman. ---

Received on a couple of occasions. Not amazing or anything, but fairly interesting in a good way. Wouldn’t even consider giving unless the area was thoroughly cleaned, in and out. The slightest smell would probably kill any fun I might be having. Even all clean, I would take a lot of convincing. Definitely NOT into it. ---

When you are both fresh and clean, rimming is an incredibly erotic and intimate experience. I love giving and receiving. ---

gosh. i thought we were of the more adventurous type. turns out we are in the minority, as least as far as butt licking goes 😉 so, nope, never putting my tongue there, and have no desire to have anyone put their tongue there either. do you think we should? ---

Nope. Just like I said on the anal sex thread, I have dealt with assholes and shit in my job—lots of wiping of asses and seeing variations of shit that you don’t even want to _know_ about. :eek: At least partially because of that, I find nothing erotic about the anus, and feel that it is an EXIT only on my body. YMMV (and it obviously does with some of you!). I am sure there are other people who deal with shit and butt-wiping but would still enjoy these erotic butthole activities, but I’ll never be one of them.
