Just So We’re All Clear: “Ass To Mouth” is not a term for Rimming

[ErosWired]

On a discussion forum terms matter, so that we understand what everyone’s talking about. There are plenty of words and phrases with variable meanings (faggot), chronic misspelling (‘dominate’ for dominant (please stop)), and dubious veracity (vers Top), but there are some which can and should be clearly understood to mean the one thing they specify because that one thing is specific. An example is Ass To Mouth, or ATM.

I mention this because of late in the Cocksucking section there have been several posts referring to rimming as ‘ass to mouth’. While rimming undeniably places an ass in direct contact with a mouth, that’s not what ATM means.

ATM refers to ‘moving the cock from ass to mouth’, and describes the specific act in which a Top fucking a bottom’s anus then pulls out and inserts that cock immediately into the mouth of either the same or a different bottom’s mouth, thus obliging the bottom to taste his own or another bottom’s ass and any cum therein carried over on the cock.

Rimming has synonyms, including analingus and ‘tossing a salad’ (I have never understood this), but ass to mouth is not one of them, and if you write that you love ATM when you mean you love rimming, you are likely to be misunderstood. If people absolutely insist on using the word ass to describe it, how about using Mouth To Ass -MTA- instead?
