“If you Google it, you’ll have people saying, ‘It’s gotta be clockwise or anti-clockwise or that kind of thing. It all just depends on your choice around risk.”Īs for how to actually go about it, “The classic technique is licking either up and down around and around in a circle,” says Louise. You can also use glad wrap, it does essentially the same thing. It’s a square piece of latex you can put over the bum, so it’s like a barrier between the mouth and the anus. “You’ve got some options there: a dental dam is one of them. So it is worth considering safe sex practices if you’re going to do it. They mostly result in having gastro-type upsets but you can also get some classic sexually transmitted infections like herpes and gonorrhea as well. coli and shigella, virus’ like hepatitis A and various kinds of intestinal parasites, so there are risks to it. “Making sure the outside area is clean but some people also would wash a bit internally. “Usually a shower is sufficient,” says Louise. “Take it at a pace that suits you and the other person.” But first up, it’s important to consider hygiene - as in, making sure the area is clean - and safe sex. Then, if everyone involved is enthusiastic about wanting to try it, she says it’s about going slow. So if you want to give it a go, how should you approach it? Sex educator Louise Bourchier says it’s like any kind of sex act, “the most important thing is consent and communication, making sure that people involved are feeling like they have a lot of choice in doing it.” As Dr Jay points out, “To what extent is this poking fun? To what extent is this using humour to deal with something that one might find uncomfortable or unsettling? I do wonder if these memes et cetera reinforce this unsettlingness.”Įven though it still makes some uncomfortable generally, it seems like the stigma is falling away and that’s a good thing. “On the other hand, I can’t help but feeling it’s sort of reinforcing that old stigma, that old association with homosexuality/feminisation.”Įspecially in the meme fallout around a certain Hottest 100 champ, it’s surely not all celebratory. “There’s been a sort of word on the street that it is a masculating act or it is empowering or something like that,” says Dr Jay. It seems to imply now (not unlike the reaction to DJ Khaled’s refusal to eat pussy) that you’re less of a man if you don’t rim. The big question ‘Do you even eat ass?’ or ‘What? You don’t eat ass!?’ Jay says it’s become a signifier of your manhood. There are benefits not just for the arseholes of the world but in regards to the changing nature of male sexuality and the prioritising of both partners’ pleasure. “Straight men aren’t afraid of being associated with a practice that’s historically been coded ‘gay’ and therefore feminising, and that might well be a good thing.” “I’d say it’s actually got quite a broad appeal.”ĭr Jay Daniel Thompson, agrees that the stigma surrounding arse eating among straight men has diminished considerably in recent times and points to shifting models of masculinity. “People of any gender and any sexuality can either be the person doing the licking or the person being licked there’s lots of flexibility,” says Louise Bourchier. This is 100% the last article I was expecting to write on Labor Day in the year our lord 2019, but it’s been a really weird year already, so why not.So for those of you who have any questions about how to give it a go if you’re anal-curious, The Hook Up enlisted the help of sex educator Louise Bourchier and Dr Jay Daniel Thompson, a researcher and lecturer in media, and gender and sexuality studies at the University of Melbourne. It’s unclear just exactly what precipitated the act, but a previous photo on the user’s Instagram story a totem reading, “Does Flume even eat ass?” gives us a good guess. (The story has since been deleted, but was shared to first.) She’s also the girl (on the left) from this infamous Jeff Goldblum meme. Though we can’t see her face, the girl is suspected to be Paige Elkington, whom Flume is currently dating, and on whose account the video is posted. Flume, for instance, while DJing one the nights at the festival, was eating a girl’s butt on stage. While course the rules human decency and basic laws the land still apply, it’s truly an event to let loose and try new things. When someone tells you that Burning Man is an anything goes event, they aren’t kidding.
