Rimming—some gay men love it, some dislike it, while others have not tried it and are curious about what the appeal really is. This is why one gay man asked online, “Does rimming actually feel good?” He followed it up with honest curiosity: “Might delete later. [I] was wondering about this for a while. Is the entrance sensitive, or is it just hot when someone does it? Maybe a bit of both?” After being flooded with responses, he added, “[I] won’t delete after all. I am incredibly thankful for your input and will come back to this post whenever I’m feeling unsure. And wow, this subreddit is so active! Definitely visiting again.”
So, does rimming feel good? Is it physical pleasure, mental arousal, or the intimacy of it all? According to gay men who responded, the answer is rarely just one thing.
Many pointed out that the area itself is sensitive, but the act also carries a strong psychological charge. As one guy put it: “Feels good to me. Yeah, that area is kinda sensitive, but it’s also just hot to have a guy licking your hole.”
Others talked about how powerful the experience can be, even if they’ve only tried it a handful of times. One guy shared, “Although I have only been rimmed a few times, it is 100% one of my favorite things to experience. I’m not too bothered about doing the rimming, but I would if my SO wanted me to.”
On the other hand, some respondents are more on the giving side. One gay man revealed, “I love rimming a guy, it seems to drive them insane.” Another echoed that sentiment from a top’s perspective: “I love doing it as a top. Makes me hard.” For these men, the reaction they get is part of the pleasure.
Meanwhile, several men emphasized reciprocity. “Yes, it feels wonderful, and I enjoy giving a rim job too.” Another guy described in detail the technique and sensation he loved about rimming: “I love receiving and giving. It is sensitive, and if the giver has a bit of scruff, that’s nice. Needs good tongue action as well.”
Further, for some men, the first time was a revelation. One man recalled, “I’ll never forget the first time a guy ate me out. I thought it was just a porn thing! It was a mind-blowing experience, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve also made it part of my repertoire, and I haven’t found a guy who doesn’t love it.”
And then there are those who clearly relish the slow build and control of it all: “Whenever I rim someone, I do it slowly on the outside. Then you’ll feel that his hole loosened up so I start exploring the insides with my tongue. When I hear him moan or ask for more, I tongue fuck him then stop abruptly while I watch him shake his ass because he needed more and more.”
Having said all that, what about you, Adam4Adam blog readers? Do you love rimming someone? Do you love getting rimmed? Is rimming something you enjoy giving, receiving, both, or something you’re still unsure about? Was it something you had to warm up to, or did you love it instantly?

Oooh yeah rimming is hot both giving and definitely receiving
Yes it is…..it feels so good……even if its your girlfriend doing it
I fully echo both of these sentiments. Love it both ways.
I love being rimmed, I enjoy having my ass/asshole played with period, for me being rimmed brings out the feminine side of me/ the bitch in me, if a man eat my ass he can pretty much have this ass when he wants it. I enjoy being rimmed before getting fucked, I’m a closet/DL 100% bottom, I’ve had women eat my ass from time to time, so I have to hold my hole kinda tight, so that they don’t notice how open it really is, I’m not sure if I can explain why is my hole is open, sometimes I… Read more »
Same and same. Totally brings out my femme. Fuck me now side!
Rimming is a now and then “treat” with my FWBs. Doing it means we’ve showered and are well scrubbed. Or have spent some time in a hot tub. Perhaps even flushed out, but we don’t do that too often either. It t takes some preplanning. It feels good, but it’s something I reserve for guys I’m very close with.
Do both of you guys douche?
“Perhaps even flushed out,…”
Same thing. Different connotation than “douche”, which is right up there with “man pussy” or “bussy” in terms of word one choses to use.
I prefer rimming in the shower so I can thoroughly scrub out the guy’s ass with soap. I don’t insist on pre-rimming douching. Seems to work fine.
Fuck yeah! As a bottom I absolutely love when a top buddy goes down on my hole! Getting me nice and wet and open for him to slide his throbbing raw cock deep in me.
It’s a individual answer to the question,some will,some won’t!I love rimming a big butt,much love to bottom men!
As in big sweaty booty?
Love having a top rim me, gets me very hot and horny opens me up for what he wants to do to me.
It’s something I enjoy giving and receiving. I enjoy when a bottom wants to pleasure me with their tongue, but I don’t count on it. However, being sexy and clean enough for me to want to bend my bottom partner over and make them moan with my tongue deep in their hole before I fuck them is practically a requirement these days.
You sound like my BF………….he loves to eat ass, has a very active wicked tongue and knows exactly how to get me moaning.I swear I have been fingered, eaten and fucked in every position known to man and he is always looking for new challenges.One day while face sitting and going down on him I decided I would test his endurance and asked him to stuff my throat over the edge of the bed which many Tops love to do and while doing it I began playing with his ass which definitely turned him on. After a few minutes I… Read more »
Sounds HAF and may need to try it. My BF who is a Total Bottom loves heavy anal play……fingers, toys, lengthy rim sessions. He does have a nice bubble that I am sure accounts for everybody wanting to get in there. When I first hooked up with Him I thought, Hot Ass, let’s take her out for a Test Ride,lol. He said for years Guys always commented about his trailer so he just played along but was really self conscious about it. It wasn’t until he was out of College where he hooked up with a Married Dude who really… Read more »
I like receiving it. Maybe not as much as other things but it definitely feels good. I’ve given it when I was going down on a guy and sucking his balls. I mean it’s right there so I slipped my tongue there and he groaned so I did it more. I like to please a guy so that was a turn on. I was really horny so wouldn’t even entertain the idea if I wasn’t horny but it was there, he was very clean, so I I did it. However, when he dies it to me, yes I do like… Read more »
When someone has made my ass feel great by rimming, hell yes he’s gonna get kissed!
For me, as far as receiving a rim job, I can do without it. But I would never deprive a fuck buddy from eating me out if he wanted too. It feel good but I could never cum from having it done. As far as giving, I much rather give than receive but can live without that as well. I have to be really turned on by the guy. I have to really be in the mood. I’m very strict on hygiene, so I would only rim the recipient immediately after he had a long hot soaking tub bath.
Not really into getting or giving.
The best giving or recieving
Okay, the first time a man stuck his tongue in my ass, I literally thought I had died and went to heaven. His actively erotic tongue worked me over and was followed by a finger or two and then culminated in a wonderful ass fucking. I have been hooked ever since. There’s just no describing the pleasure I received but, then again, that may be my own sensitivity. As far as me rimming, it may not be at the top of my list of things I want to do, but knowing how good it feels, I would never deny my… Read more »
I will say this, it is a very pleasant experience to a mate, that is open to it. I will also state this. IF YOU ARE SURE you want to give or receive, stress to your partner to be thoroughly clean in that area. STRESS THIS. Tell him to wash, even putting small finger in a soapy towel, and wash inserting it ….thoroughly!!!! When clean, it is hot as hell. Don’t risk hepatitis just doing it, without a thorough cleaning. He ( your mate ) if he is into you, should be glad to do this. Rim, the we kiss… Read more »
I am total bottom and I have had a few guys rim me. It really doesn’t do much for me. If they like doing it and want to eat may ss, I will let them, but I do tell them that I do not eat ass. There is just something in my psyche that won’t let me do it. As a bottom I love taking dick up my ass. But I personnaly don’t even like looking at a guys asshole let along licking it. The last time a guy did it to me was during a hook up with a… Read more »
Your friend is also a liar. You cannot get ( Herpes 2-Anal) from (Herpes 1-Oral). He has anal herpes from having unprotected anal sex. Be careful with this individual…what else is he lying about as well? That’s why you can get over the counter treatment for oral herpes, it’s different.
Wrong….HSV1 can be transmitted to a partner through anal or oral sex…and, although rare, HSV2 can also be transmitted likewise. OTC treatment for oral herpes is NOT a cure..it is a simply treatment to help with the symptoms but will NOT cure Herpes whether HSV-1 or HSV-2. Barry did NOT say the friend got HSV-2 from rimming with his partner…he said he was infected with herpes without specifying the type. Your comments are wrong on assuming that HSV-2 is limited to anal herpes (which is not true), that anal herpes is only HSV-2 (it can be HSV-1), you assume the… Read more »
RKL Phd you are right . I was not correct. However if you believe that story about the cold sore, scruff from facial hair to herpes then you might as well believe AIDS from a toilet seat. That was bullshit.
Guys LOVE rimming my ass….i always try to always keep it minty fresh.like a York Peppermint patty. It feels so good but it’s not complete unless I’m getting fucked down afterwards.
Bottoms: put some rose essential oil on your hole – my tops love it; they’ll eat it for a while, fuck it for a while, eat, fuck, eat, fuck, til he blows his load deep.
Absolutely you have to finish the guy till he satisfied
??! “Does rimming feel GOOD”??? Absolutely NOTHING feels better!! There’s nothing else like it in the entire realm of human sensation. All those nerve endings there, in a place that rarely if ever gets touched . . . It’s stimulating far beyond mere adjectives. This combined with a bit of a taboo mindset or a somewhat ludicrous/ultra-playful feeling towards the positions required makes analingus my number 1 FAVORITE THING to do of ALL. One more aspect might be a further contributing factor of the act’s appeal is the prepatory ritual and time spent, adding anticipation to the pleasure. Thank you… Read more »
“Receiving” I love how it feels, so with one of my lovers who just to do it; I was considerate enough to actually douche, while bathing, ’cause I still, like to kiss and I’m not afraid of my own body, for Christ’ sake, so cleanliness is paramount, so it’s safe.
I enjoy both rimming and being rimmed. I have never met anyone who didn’t enjoy being rimmed. But a person must be freshly showered and really clean before I will rim him, and usually someone that I know fairly well.
I love to rim a clean manhole Spread his cheeks exposing his glorious hole. The best is to have a guy cum on my face then I ask him to give me his ass so I can rub my cum dripping lips on & around his hole as I insert my tongue deep into his hole
NAH – I’ll PASS for sure! I’ve had it DONE to me and it’s OK but nothing that makes me FREAKY WILD and crazy ~~ and being in a health related field I know what kinda things are in that area and DEF don’t need them in my mouth!! 🙁
Best response yet!!! Friend of mine got ecoli from it. Recipients, please flush out first if its planned. I always scrub well back there and finger my hole deep with hot soapy water. After I get done, I test smell my finger. If it’s still not right, I do it over and over again until its right. I do this every time I bath.
Wash your ass with Distilled white vinegar. You girls must be from the south. I thought everyone knows how to wash their ass
My current BF is a Total Asspig Alpha Top that really enjoys rimming and is quite a Master with his routine. I am more a Vers Bottom sexually and do enjoy being with an Oral Top and over time most partners have always spent a good amount of time fingering and tongue fucking my hole because they say it was meant to be pried open and they like a bubble ass that is naturally hairless. I have been surprised with how some Guys cannot wait to get inside you or position you in ways that provide ultimate pleasure. My current… Read more »
I got started with men with my much older neighbor, I think he was old enough to be my g’dad. I was 15.At that time we would just suck each other off then one day had me lie on my belly. Couldn’t believe when I felt his tongue licking my hole, he was actually sucking my hole and getting his tongue in there. All seemed very dirty to me at the time but hot. He would stick his finger in my ass too. First time for that too.After awhile he said you are ready and moved up on me and… Read more »
As a top and half of a bi M/F married couple, I love getting rimmed by either sex but I have discovered one part of me that is even more sensitive When my wife firmly licks the spot between my balls and ass, it feels incredible.
a rather benign question? Either it feels good or it doesn’t or is incidental?
OMG YES!
The men I’ve been with love to rim me and I enjoy it every time. Put me in doggy position and eat me up
for me it feels like someone is just licking my ass and giving me swamp ass….. like just a wet ass….
If a guy wants to fuck me, all he has to do is rim me really good. There have been times that I was hesitant in giving my hole up, but once that hot tongue took over on and in my hole, it was imminent what was next!
I also enjoy rimming guys. Especially when it turns them on as much as it does me to get rimmed. It’s generally a guaranteed fuck!
Hell yea. Love to rim and have my face sat on! Rim buddy buddy would be hot!
I haven’t gotten fucked in over thirty-five years – but I cherish a deep rimming. OMG.!!!
I’m Asian and love being rimmed it’s hot and gives me amazing pleasure when partner get me all wet the feeling is amazing that I could have an orgasm just by getting rimmed and makes getting ass fucked more pleasurable making me moan. So I love being rimmed.
I love getting rimmed just before getting topped. Love feeling a man’s tounge allover and deep in my hole.
Only did it once, guy said he liked it
It feels nice, very relaxing, soothing. The only really erotic aspect is how animalistic it is, that someone would stoop to doing that. A man must be very sexually compelling for me to want to do it. But it’s also another way to engage with a beautiful ass without fucking it.
What’s interesting is that a nose feels just as good as a tongue, and better than a finger. Especially a big nose. And it’s not risky, so using the nose needs promotion.
Met this Korean several years ago that only wanted oral. His definition of oral was rimming me and giving me head which he would go back and forth until he asked if he could put the tip in. I told him he could to which he started poking around with until at one point his entire length was in me. At this point we began having sex but once he got close he would pull out, rim me with a ferocity and then put his dick back in. Would do this over and over until he couldn’t take anymore and… Read more »
You know how it hurts more to get spanked after you cum ( it does so bois tell me!)? Well getting rimmed AFTER you cum has the same effect on the intensity of the pleasure. It’s the perfect way to thank the guy who just rimmed you and cocked your world!
The first time I rimmed a guy, I didn’t even know it was a thing or that it had a name. Neither did he. He was a tall lean ( skinny, swimmers build) guy who resembled Tom Selleck. We would play around at the YMCA in my hometown ( club head?) I the nap room or steam and sauna. He was always shower fresh… Anyway one evening in 1990, he was in the sauna with me and we were alone. You could always hear if anyone was coming into the shower area ( steam on one side, sauna on the… Read more »
I am the bottom that has seen stars when being rimmed. I don’t rim and I don’t even want to look at my buddy’s hole.
When his cock is in my pussy, the only thing I want to do to his ass is grab it and pull him in deeper.
I am the bitch bottom.
I enjoy it both ways, but I don’t rim, I eat ass. Definitely has to be a clean hole so not something I do spontaneously. I’ve done it with women and men and men definitely get into it more.
I’ve done rimming on a lot of guys in my life. I would want to enjoy someone rimming my own ass in my life because I never had it done to me. Just one fact: clean your ass well before someone rims it good. thank you.
Yes, getting rimmed feels really good. However, I am extremely particular if someone wants me to rim them. I don’t like rimming guys I hook up with unless our chemistry is really good and the attraction is there. And he’s clean.
Hell yeah it does
I have been a fan of rimming since i was right out of college and hooked up with an Older Guy I met at a bar and he introduced me to plenty of different sexual acts you learn along the way. This Guy also had a sling which made it even more pleasurable and I pretty much expected everyone to engage in it. One of my favorite experiences was hooking up with a GL Guy at an ABS and going back to his hotel room. After having a shower we messed around on the bed and he wanted a massage… Read more »
Love to get rimmed! The first time I almost went through the roof of a guys van. He had me on my knees on a rear seat looking out the back door window. So hot I turned around and he sucked me off good!
Just like with everything else, depending on how well the person doing the rimming is, depends on how good it is. But in general, YES!!! The stimulation of the sensitive skin on the inside of the butt cheeks, and the all of the neurons along the anal wall, it is amazing!
In all the years I have been on A4A, I have met with one bi guy back in 2013-2016 from A4A until he moved from the area. I never knew what rimming was. I had eaten and fucked a woman’s ass before but I had no idea how incredible it was to be rimmed. This man was a maestro at rimming. He told me rimming a man was his favorite sexual act. I wanted to suck him hard but he said his hardest erections came from rimming and eating a man’s ass before fucking. He would start by licking and… Read more »
Well first, I don’t rim, I eat ass lol. The term rimming always brings to mind those porns when the person has their tongue stuck all the way out, barely touching the hole. As for me, I bury my face deep. Especially with a smooth hole.. excuse me, need to take care of something
It is my duty to please da booty. I like to nibble inner thighs, give big gobbles to cheeks, massage legs and backs, touch the small of a man’s back when out and about, and in the art of rimmign—take my time. First spelling the alphabet with my tongue, deep pokes, then gentle rubs, perineum massaging, using 1 finger to wrap around and friction rub just the head while scissoring two then three fingers to the exterior then interior sphincter muscles, while licking then a finger in—licking around the finger, then prostate massaging while sucking and kissing. I go to… Read more »
Ohh yes I am a total bottom with a very tight beefy bubble butt. The first time rimmed me I was in total heaven he made me moan and I begging for more. He got me wet and fingered my hole and he said i was very tight and need to be loosened up for his big cock. He was just over 12 inches and thick like a red bill can. He slide his cock into me all the way down and fucked me slow and hard then fast and hard before cum in my ass. But a good job… Read more »
I remember the first time that I was rimmed and just thinking about it gets me aroused. The other Guy was older,very masc with facial hair and HAF. Situation unfolded rather quickly with oral, 69 and then having him fingering me and sticking his tongue inside me. He must have sensed I had never had it done or he just happened to be that great and I heard him say Holy fuck that is one sweet boy pussy and he literally went to town. I love being with a Guy that is into it even though many may not be… Read more »
