Ass Worship
Short Definition
Ass worship refers to a focus adoration, or reverence centered on the butt. It can involve physical acts like kissing, licking, massaging, spanking, or simply gazing at a partner’s ass with admiration and desire. Note that while ass play may involve acts around anal play, it is not the same thing. Unlike anal play, ass worship is not strictly about pleasure, but about worship.
Detailed Explanation
Ass worship refers to a focus adoration, or reverence centered on the butt. It can involve physical acts like kissing, licking, massaging, spanking, or simply gazing at a partner’s ass with admiration and desire. Note that while ass play may involve acts around anal play, it is not the same thing. Unlike anal play, ass worship is not strictly about pleasure, but about worship.
Ass worship may include submissive behavior, such as kneeling, begging, or being denied access to the ass as a form of power play.
Ass worship can be enjoyed by people of all genders and orientations. It appears in a wide range of relationship styles, from casual hookups to long-term D/s dynamics.
### Why People Are Into It
People are into ass worship for all kinds of reasons. Here are some of the more common ones:
### Body Worship
Ass worship is a type of body worship. It fits into a larger pattern of focused attention, admiration, and physical closeness. In other words, ass worshippers may be into worshipping other body parts too (and some people see it as an extension of pussy worship.)
### Dominance and Submission
People sometimes describe receiving ass worship as feeling primal and belittling in a satisfying way. They like giving up control and being used for someone else's pleasure in a submissive role.
### Taboo
The ass is often described as the most taboo part of the body. Doing something that is considered socially off limits can feel more intense and can be part of the appeal.
### Intimacy
Ass worship can feel very intimate, and requires trust and vulnerability. This is what some people love about it.
### Safety & Consent
Like all kink activities, ass worship should be approached with enthusiastic, informed consent. Hygiene, clear communication, and boundaries (especially around touch and anal play) are essential. Using safe words or stop signals is a good idea.
If you want to add anal play to ass worship, star slow. Anal play goes better when both partners are relaxed and comfortable, especially if a partner is receiving any anal penetration. Using lubricant will also make any type of anal play safer and more comfortable (and therefore more fun!)
