Anilingus

Anilingus is the clinical term for oral contact with the anus between consenting adults. It may also be referred to by informal slang, but no term establishes interest or permission. Like any intimate activity, it calls for direct, current consent and respect for each person’s comfort.

Why This Term Matters

Using a neutral term can make it easier to discuss a sensitive subject without embarrassment or vague assumptions. The important part is still the conversation, not the vocabulary.
