Rimming is the act of licking and/or sucking another person's anus to elicit sexual pleasure using the tongue, lips, and teeth. Although more often associated with homosexuality, it is also practiced by straight people. Technically referred to as Anilingus, this anal-oral contact is also known by several slang terms such as a "rim job", or "tossing the salad". People may engage in anilingus as part of foreplay, before anal fingering or penetration, or on its own.
