Anilingus

Anilingus (from anus + lingus (Latin Lingere:to lick)), is a form of oral sex involving contact between the anus or perineum of one person and the mouth (lips) or tongue of another. Non-clinical, slang terms include rimming, rim-job, salad tossing, butt licking and eating ass. It is performed by people of all sexual orientations. Depending upon the context in which it is performed, this sex act can either be used for personal pleasure among consenting parties or as a form of erotic humiliation.

Anilingus is not to be confused with ass-to-mouth, the practice of inserting a penis (or other object) into the mouth after its removal from the anus.
