I always planned on writing are more in-depth guide on Ass-to-Mouth sex. Since I’m not an expert on the topic but basically just a fan of the actual practice I decided to do some quick research on the web first. To my own great surprise I stumbled across a nice entry in Wikipedia (you know, the online dictionary that can be edited by anyone). I think the analysis is quite good and the information given is accurate for the most part. There are some points I don’t buy or disagree with and so what you’re about to read is an edited version of the Wikipedia entry. I will be adding my own opinions (lots of them) wherever appropriate to give the whole article a less clinical and more personal feel. We’re not scientists here trying to dissect some strange social behavior but regular guys and girls who actually might want to try the stuff being discussed. So let’s get started with the basics:

Introduction
“Ass to mouthâ€? is a colloquial term, in sexology and pornography, for the removal of the penis or another object from the passive partner’s anus followed by the immediate insertion of the penis or object into the passive partner’s, or another partner’s mouth. One example that comes to my mind are some of the Rocco Siffredi videos in which there are two women involved, one of them gets butt-fucked and the other girl is just waiting with her head between the top girls legs (right below her pussy and ass) so that the guy can alternate between asshole and mouth. This is certainly not the “classicâ€? ass-to-mouth setup since it requires an additional passive participant. Most of us are just regular couples so we have to make do with only one mouth or ass or cock. Ass-to-Mouth is also known as A2M or ATM for short. Wikipedia states and I quote that “Ass to mouth generally excludes cleaning the penis or other object after its removal from the anus but before its imposition in the mouth.â€? which in my opinion is just NOT true. It’s especially untrue for 99% of the pornography you can buy off the shelf at an adult store. I know for a fact that these porn models not only make good use of enemas but also rinse with antibacterial solutions. Then and only then will they go on set too shoot ATM or three-way ATM stuff. I’m also quite convinced that antibacterial cleansing is common practice even before “standardâ€? anal fucking scenes, let alone ATM.

Health risks
Due to the presence of bacteria in the anus (rectum), ATM is inherently (potentially) risky from a health standpoint. While no physician will declare “ass to mouth” contact to be completely safe, it is generally not as risky as might be thought. People do not generally become ill from their own coliform and anal flora, as people inevitably transfer some bacteria to their mouth as a result of not washing hands after defecation, etc. Generally people live in symbiosis with their own strata of bacteria. Also, monogamous contact between people who share the same household for six months or more is less risky, as cohabitation for that period of time tends to equalize the subtypes of coliform bacteria.

It should be noted that more casual anal/oral contact is very risky as a transfer vector for a host of diseases. Or in other words if you go to a swingers club where someone gets ass fucked and you decide to suck the “top’s� cock during or after anal intercourse you put yourself at risk for numerous infections, for example hepatitis to name just one.

Safe sex doesn’t necessarily mean boring sex nor does it mean you can’t do stuff like ATM yourself. In my opinion the rule of thumb is, the more you deviate off the beaten path (and by that I mean missionary position/vaginal intercourse while wearing a rubber with your spouse) the more you gotta be willing to use your BRAIN in order to assess the situation at hand and take necessary precautions. The more you fool around with strangers (and yes, I know how much fun that is) the more risk-variables you’ll have to consider. My motto still is “just do it� but don’t let common sense go out of the window.

Appeal
Ass to mouth is an uncommon sexual practice. At least that’s what Wikipedia has to say, but I guess I’ll have to agree with that (grudgingly). Those who do practice it do so, in many cases, because of the degradation inherent in the sex act for the passive partner. Individuals who enjoy being degraded and/or dominated and those who enjoy degrading and dominating their partners during sexual intercourse are generally the only individuals who engage in ass to mouth.

Well, there are those people and then there are people who might not even realize that they’re doing it. Let me give a quick example: A friend of mine told me this Urban Myth/Urban Fact kind of story which implies that eating peanuts in a bar is like sucking ten stranger’s cocks. You know, because nobody washes their hands and then they eat the nuts, some get left over but they’ve been handled already by guys who had their dicks in hand just minutes ago. Peanut bowl gets refilled, the peanuts get older, more men touch them. You get my point. So take this example and imagine a regular couple having sex. It’s dark under the covers, he tries to find the right hole, wipes the pussy juices around a bit for better lubrication, goes back and forth over her anus (without either of them realizing it) and puts it in her pussy. So technically once the dick comes out and goes into her mouth not only is she giving a form of ATM blowjob but she’s also giving something that hasn’t even gotten a name yet. Should we call it PTATM?

Just because your asshole is hidden from view most of the time doesn’t automatically guarantee that you won’t be accidentally touching it repeatedly during all kinds of unrelated activities. I know this sounds funny, but especially during regular intercourse or finger fucking there’s just no way you’re not going to get close to the perianal region. My BF for one frequently has his thumb up my ass while fucking me from behind. But let’s get back to what Wikipedia has to say: This practice may be seen as a rare but powerful form of sexual objectification. (You bet!) It may also be practiced by those who derive sexual pleasure from doing things that are considered taboo or “extremeâ€?. - Exactly. That’s the whole point of the exercise, degradation, objectification and submission. Yummy. (Keep your eyes peeled for PART 2 of this ATM guide!)
