Ass to mouth is a colloquial term, in sexology and pornography, for the removal of the penis or another object from the passive partner's anus followed by the immediate insertion of the penis or object into the passive partner, or another partner's mouth. It is also known as A2M or ATM. Ass to mouth generally excludes cleaning the penis or other object after its removal from the anus but before its imposition in the mouth.

Health risks

Due to the presence of bacteria in the anus, ass to mouth is inherently risky from a health standpoint. This practice is very dangerous for several reasons and is not recommended.

Appeal

Ass to mouth is an uncommon sexual practice. Those who do practise it do so, in many cases, because of the degradation inherent in the sex act for the passive partner. Individuals who enjoy being degraded and/or dominated and those who enjoy degrading and dominating their partners during sexual intercourse are generally the only individuals who engage in ass to mouth. This practice is a rare but powerful form of sexual objectification. It may also be practised by those who derive sexual pleasure from doing things that are considered "extreme" or unusual.

Prevalence in pornographic videos

Ass to mouth became something of a fad around 2003 or 2004 in American pornographic videos. Various explanations have been given for this trend, but one reason predominates. Ass to mouth generally occurs in videos targeted to heterosexual men in which men dominate women, at least to a certain extent. Thus, ass to mouth is a practice through which a man (or men) degrade a woman (or women) by requiring her to taste her own fecal matter, generally on a man's penis. This act both gives the man physical pleasure, degrades the woman, and requires her to work to service him. It should be added that the fecal matter present is almost always so small as to be invisible to the naked eye; ass to mouth is not to be confused with Coprophilia. An actress's anus is always thoroughly cleaned before such scenes.

The increase in pornographic videos featuring ass to mouth is probably due to the fact that while making a film in which the actress is degraded through anal sex was once relatively rare, anal sex is now quite common in pornographic videos marketed to heterosexual men. In order to continue to be shocking, such videos sometimes rely on more obscure sex acts that many would consider degrading in order to elicit a strong reaction from their audience. After all, ass to mouth occurs most commonly in pornographic videos in which men are depicted as dominating and degrading women for the erotic pleasure of the audience. Many men and women find these practices offensive, while others find it extremely erotic.

"Extreme" ass to mouth pornographic videos

In a rare and very extreme form of ass to mouth found in some fetish-themed or scatologically-themed heterosexual pornographic videos, the woman does not undergo an enema or otherwise clean her rectum prior to anal sex. As a result of this, the man's penis is visibly smeared with her fecal matter when she takes it into her mouth. While this practice exists outside of pornographic videos, it is almost unheard of outside of this particular context.
