Here’s Everything You Could Possibly Want To Know About Rim Job Safety
Here’s Everything You Could Possibly Want To Know About Rim Job Safety
The folks over at Buzzfeed spoke with three sexperts about the nitty gritty of a favorite bedroom pastime for many gay men: Rim jobs.
New York City sex therapist Dr. Stephen Snyder, proctologist Dr. David Rosenfeld, and Dr. Dennis Fortenberry, professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine, who specializes in the research of health risk behaviors and STDs, sat down with Buzzfeed writer Casey Gueren to talk all thing anilingus.
Here’s what they had to say:
STIs
According to Fortenberry, STIs can be transmitted via rim jobs, “not necessarily because the anus or rectum is infected, but because it’s part of the skin that connects the entire genital area, and some of those organisms may simply be moving around.”
That’s right, fellas, Hep A and B, chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, herpes, syphilis, and even HIV can all be contracted from ass-to-mouth and vice versa.
“I’m not sure that the exposure that you would get from direct contact with the anus would be that much different than with oral sex or sex,” Fortenberry says.
Bacteria
Germaphobes can relax because, according to Rosenfeld, bacteria festering in your partner’s backside isn’t something you need to be too worried about since there’s bacteria all over the place–in your anus, in your genitals, on your skin, in your bedsheets — and getting a little in your mouth typically won’t do any harm.
Of course, this is assuming neither you or your partner are hosting any strains of harmful illness-causing bacteria or parasites in your bodies, which leads the experts to the next point…
E. Coli, C. difficile, salmonella, etc.
If your partner is suffering any parasites from, say, a trip abroad or eating bad Chinese food, or if his stomach has been acting up, don’t perform a rim job on him without some sort of barrier (i.e. a dental dam). Although, chances are, if he’s battling a bout of salmonella poisoning he’s probably not going to be in the mood for hanky panky anyway.
Poo
According to Rosenfeld, if your partner has been having irregular bowel movements or loose stools, you may also want to reconsider tossing his salad, or, if you do, at least use a barrier.
How come? Because irregular bowel movements = excessive bacteria, festering germs, etc.
The goal, Rosenfeld says, is for “smooth, solid stool that doesn’t leave anything behind when you wipe.”
Unfortunately, this may mean asking your man about his BMs, but, as Buzzfeed so eloquently puts it, “a conversation about his poops… [is] better than going in there blind, right?”
Cleanliness
This one should really go without saying. Before going down on him, tell your man to wash, wash, wash. And then wash some more.
Rosenfeld recommends washing with a detachable shower head and using a mild soap since body washes can sometimes irritate the anus.
How clean is clean enough? Snyder says it’s a “judgement call.”
“If it passes a visual test and a sniff test,” he says, “you should be in the clear.”

Homophobia, Death Threats and Government Complicity: Jamaican LGBT's Under Attack!
Homophobia, Death Threats and Government Complicity: Jamaican LGBT's Under Attack!
Jamaican lawyer, LGBTI activist and educator Maurice Tomlinson
GLAAD has joined 20 other LGBT and human rights organizations in urging President Obama to address the persecution of LGBT people. The criminalization of homosexuality in Jamaica dates back to the 1864 Offences Against the Person Act, which calls for a punishment of up to 10 years of hard labor for those convicted of the “abominable crime of buggery.” In this episode, Nicholas is joined by Jamaican-born author and photographer and former US Navyman Max-Arthur Mantle, and Jamaican lawyer, LGBTI activist and educator Maurice Tomlinson, who himself has received death threats.
Mantle’s new novel BATTY BWOY comes out April 15. Tomlinson is a Jamaican lawyer, LGBTI activist and educator. For nearly twenty years, he has been working with a variety of local and international agencies to combat homophobia and HIV across the Caribbean. He is a Senior Policy Analyst with the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network and partners with various national and regional stakeholders to promote and protect the human rights of Caribbean LGBTI people
