Alternate terminology

It is also known as A2M, ATM, or Arse-to-Mouth. Ass-to-mouth generally excludes cleaning the penis or other object after its removal from the anus and before its insertion into the mouth. This may enhance sexual excitement for both active and passive partners, often developing from connotations of domination/humiliation. "Ass-to-other mouth," abbreviated as A2OM or ATOM, specifically describes the variant of the act where the penis is moved from one partner's anus to a different partner's mouth. Another variation is known as A2P, ATP, or Ass-to-pussy which refers to removing the penis from the anus and inserting it into the vagina. The term has been used since at least January 1995 and clearly defined since at least August 1996.cite news | url=http://sex-work.org/pages/clients_corner/definitions.htm | publisher=Sex-work.org | title=Definitions | accessdate=2007-01-08] Despite its health risks, ass-to-mouth has become prevalent in pornographic films, depicting it as a pleasurable act.cite news | url=http://www.tinynibbles.com/realpornsex.html | publisher=Tiny Nibbles | title=Real porn | accessdate=2007-01-08] cite web | url=http://loveandhealth.ifriends.net/ArchiveClassificationDescriptions.cfm | title=Ass to Mouth | publisher=Love and Health | accessdate=2007-01-08]

Health risks

The health risks of ass-to-mouth include the risks of both oral sex and anal-oral sex. Unprotected oral-genital contact involves the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, such as genital herpes or chlamydia. The recipient of ass-to-mouth is also at risk of infection by Hepatitis A, [ [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=7625417&dopt=AbstractPlus|"A community-wide outbreak of hepatitis A: risk factors for infection among homosexual and bisexual men."] , US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Epidemiology Program Office, PMID: 7625417] as well as intestinal parasites and other diseases carried in the feces. It is unknown whether thoroughly washing the anal area and applying an enema results in reduced risk of disease, although general cleanliness is advisable for any sexual act. Porn-industry performers often use enemas prior to filming anal sex sequences; however, this is primarily to eliminate the possibility of any fecal matter appearing on film, rather than disease prevention. [Dan Savage, [http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/SavageLove?issue=29315 Savage Love] column, "The Portland Mercury" (2003-07-03). Quoting Ben Scuglia, editor of "Inside Porn" magazine: " [The performers] clear the pipes with a nice, relaxing douche.... Porn buttholes are so clean-clean-clean you could eat off them. Porn is all about squeaky-clean fantasy; even the 'dirty' stuff is supervised and choreographed."]
