Is Rimming really as risky as they say?

A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

OK so this is a bit embarrassing, which is why I'm posting this anonymously but basically me and my boyfriend have been 'experimenting' in the bedroom lately and decided to try anal sex/play. I wasn't a fan of the sex as it hurt quite a bit but what I did like was when he rimmed me beforehand. It actually felt really nice and was a good turn on. He really liked doing it as well.

Now anal rimming has started to become a regular thing for us. During foreplay I bend over and let him rim me whilst he plays with my clit and it seems to make me wet much quicker. I am worried about the health risks though. Obviously he's going and sticking his tongue where my poop comes out. Of course I make sure I'm as clean as possible down there but I made the mistake of Googling the risks of anal rimming and it says you can catch things like E.Coli from it.

We still kiss after he does it as well so whatever germs he picks up he could pass onto me so easily. I've read that you can use these things called dental dams as a form of protection for rimming but they don't look appealing at all. If anything they look a complete and utter turn off. Like myself, my boyfriend isn't a fan of condoms either because they just seem to kill the mood so it would probably go down like a lead balloon if I suggested getting a dental dam. (Before you ask I have the coil fitted so not using condoms isn't an issue for us)

Does anyone on here do anal rimming regularly? Have you ever fallen ill because of it? It's a new thing we both really enjoy so the last thing I want is to give it up.

Youcannotbeserious agony auntRe the reply from the anonymous male reader who states that you never hear of people getting sick because of going from anus straight to vagina, how many people would own up to this if it happened?

Stay safe. Don't listen to idiots.

Do NOT go from anus to vagina. It’s irresponsible and unhygienic even when you “use a baby wipe”. See a doctor for advice.

All you have to do is use baby wipes on your anus before he rims you. My wife and I have been doing this for years with no problems. I also lick from her anus to her vagina and she has never had a vaginal infection, so I'd say that's pretty good proof that it's safe.

My guess is that VERY few people who rim use dental dams, and how often do you hear of people getting sick from it? Just about never.

Andie's Thoughts agony auntI get that you have the coil, but two forms of contraception is more effective than one. Pleasure is only any good if it doesn’t end up with a negative consequence. Same goes for not using a dental dam. It may not be the sexiest thing, but neither is pregnancy or infections. Be responsible and mature with sex - rather than a little too risky.

I've been doing it for 50 years with my wife and old girlfriends. And getting it from them too. No one ever even got a sniffle from it. We usually shower and rub butt with antiseptic mouthwash. My chick doctor gave me Viagra after I complained that i could only last five minutes. She then quizzed me about foreplay. I fessed up to the dirty deed, to her horror. She said do that only with a dental dam. I actually tried buying them at CVS, they don't have them. And it's too embarrassing going store to store asking. Lady at CVS asked me what they are for. So we use a sandwich bag cut open. It feels almost as good, and sure beats not doing it. Hint, saran wrap doesn't work. On occasion, in the heat of the moment, I still go there old school.

Honeypie agony auntYou could use something like a "barrier" like Dental Dam. You can even get those flavored (Walmart sells them) Just do a google search for them. While you may not be a fan of the idea. I think You should read up up E.coli some more and perhaps they will become more appetizing.

And yes, if you have eaten bad food you can carry E.Coli. For a while certain vegetables and fruits from a small area of Mexico was banned in the US because you could get E.Coli from it... because they used HUMAN feces as fertilizers.

If you haven't been ill by now then the risks are no worse than before. I've done it may times with many women and never had a reaction or otherwise. They loved it and so did I. Its a really sensitive area, a bit taboo- what's not to like? I guess some people like their sex sanitised to the point of total boredom but not me.

I'd probably say that on balance you have more chance of getting crap in your mouth in a normal household with small children and babies in it than in a sex act where two people have scrupulously cleaned their bits.

One thing I would say is that doing it after anal sex may mean that the risks are higher as stuff may have been brought out but I'm sure you've thought of that.

If you keep on taking the precautions you've been taking you'll kep your risk to an absolute minimum. Have fun!
