I am looking to see how many of you do or would be willing to try rimming, (giving or receiving, doesn't matter), how many of you would be willing to incorporate it into your play, or already do?
Rimming
I love being on the receiving end! It doesn't happen all the time, but after a shower if my butt looks particularly inviting to him, he'll rim me. It feels awesome and gets me VERY wet, so it's perfect foreplay for either vaginal or anal sex for us.
My man isn't interested in anal play on him, so I haven't done it to him, couldn't say whether I like to do it or not.

We've tried rimming a few times, but it has been a long time -- and by long time I mean prior to the birth and even the conception of our daughter, who is now almost six years old haha.
It's something we're both open to, but since it's not high on our to-do list it never seems to get done. Oh well.

I know there is already a thread on this but it is on anal forum. I thought that poll might not have been getting votes from a very representative cross section of the populace so I asked here.

Yes I do rim my wife - but will not let her do it to me. Odd - but that's how I feel.

I've had a lot of sexual compunctions about things I thought were "gross" but just grew out of after being exposed to it a lot and not feeling a need to feel embarrassed in order to appear normal.

Giving and receiving, rimming is a pretty regular part of our play. A really neat thing I read on this same topic is this...When you live with someone for a while (like a year or more?) your intestinal flora syncs up. Pretty much boils down to, licking your partners anus is the same as licking your own in terms of bacteria and safety. I think this is pretty damn cool, and handy I'm pretty sure this came from...The Guide To Getting It On...and I heard it on the Sex Is Fun podcast too.

I would, if I am in love with a women, I do not think any part of her body is disgusting or icky, so yes giving. As for receiving, I do not know if I'd like that or not, haven't tried.
Now do not get me wrong, you do not have to be in-love to like it or not.

You know I feel like I need to be more clear about this. What exactly sort of dangers are there from the bacterial contamination? What kind of illness is possible?

There is little evidence that ALL the bacteria you have is also shared with your partner. In most cases, some bacteria is shared, but most people have completely individualized and also constantly changing intestinal bacterial profiles.
Also one is not "immune" to one's own fecal bacteria nor to the bacteria in one's lower bowel. Most people can become just as ill from oral ingestion of their own bacteria as to exposure to someone else's. The bacterial count, the amount accidentally consumed, the immune system of each partner and sometimes simple luck are all players in which bacterium are taken care of by the giver's immune system, and which may colonize with less than pleasant conditions and outcomes.
Rimming should always be done with this in mind and with absolute cleanliness. Immediate washing before (anal douching is not really necessary, unless you are a person with a "sticky" lower colon. And in some cases, it can bring more bacteria from higher up in the colon to the anal opening and provide more of a chance of contamination) and/or a dental dam or other barrier is ideal for the best protection.
Also, the person performing the rimming activity's own immune system plays a part in who is able to tolerate a small amount of bacteria and who may not be able to.
There are a LOT of bacterial species in the lower bowel. Anal sex can be a very engaging, rewarding and fun activity, but cleanliness should always be the first thought. One is NOT "immune" to one's partner's bowel bacteria, just because they have spent a lot of time together even if that time consists of anal play. Just as one is not always "immune" to one's own bacterial profiles at the moment.
Here are just a few of the bacterium that can colonize in the bowel, some are fairly harmless and some can make people quite sick.
Salmonella
Shigella
Yersinia
Campylobacter Aeromonas
Candida
E. coli, many varieties
Cryptosporidium
Entamoeba histolytica
Bacteroides species
B. acidifaciens
B. distasonis (reclassified as Parabacteroides distasonis)
B. gracilis
B. fragilis
B. oris
B. ovatus
B. putredinis
B. pyogenes
B. stercoris
B. suis
B. tectus
B. thetaiotaomicron
B. vulgatus
This list is by NO means complete.
This is not to discourage any anal play, including rimming, which can be not only fun, but a very intense and bonding sexual experience. I just needed to say that one should not have a false sense of safety or security, lest good hygiene be forgotten. Some people simply have immune systems that cannot handle even small quantities of intestinal bacteria consumed orally. Their bodies colonize bacteria quickly, they may become sick easily from rimming activities and even they they are in long term relationships, there is always the chance that your partner has at least half a dozen pathogens or more you yourself do not have in your colon, or that you simply are don't have the type of immune system which can tolerate even small amounts of these bacteria.
I just didn't want people to get the wrong idea that simply being intimate with someone was a "guarantee" that you won't on occasion get sick. There are no guarantees, even if you and your partner have been together many years.

These are also risks from several strains of E Coli and Salmonella, as well as Shigella.

I think Nina Hartley's presentation was quite good, but there are other things to watch out for besides E. Coli (some strains of which are basically benign and some are deadly) and the various forms of Hepatitis.
Being careful and avoiding the activity when your partner has had any frank illnesses, particularly digestive illnesses, and practicing good hygiene is always a good idea.

OK - I'm suitably chastened. We don't do it a lot - but in the future I'll keep the recent shower thing in mind. My girl's a teacher so she get's exposed to everything! I don't let her do me - it isn't that enjoyable for me and she doesn't need the added exposure. But it isn't likely that I'll give it up - hopefully my immune system stays strong.

I enjoy rimming, but always require a complete cleaning of the facilities before use. If it is worth it to me and my partner to do so, then lets do it!

Oh P'Gell, such a knowitall This is why I love you dearly and like CLP said, I look forward to you rescuing threads from misinformation!
On the topic of rimming, I absolutely love it. I love having it done to me and I love doing it to others. However, I don't usually feel sexy/turned on when receiving if I don't feel quite clean. I don't like the feeling that my partner could be sick the next day (which has actually happened to me once after rimming someone) because of me. I'm not anal (pun intended) about cleanliness but I do think if nothing else keep baby wipes on hand for pre-rimming clean up. Quick and easy and can save you so much trouble!
