A member asked:

If neither partner in a homosexual relationship has anything and we are exclusive with each other as far as sex goes, isn't safe to say rimming is ok?

Dr. Norma Jo Waxman answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Depends: I presume you are monogamous and both had negative STD screens at least 6 weeks after your prior sexual relationships, so you would not be at risk for an STD. However rimming implies licking the anus which would still put you at risk for a bacterial infection like E. coli
