What would rimming be like in the 1920s

It would have been the bee's knees, baby! Vo-dee-oh-do!

filled with dingleberries

The 1920s? What about the 1820s? Hell, the 920s? Yick.

Might've tasted and smelled a little bit like Limburger cheese, but if you could get past the aroma, there was lotsa fun to be had underneath those suspenders and skivvies!

People only took a bath once a month and they shat in buckets.

Did they rim back then?

r6 No dear, rimming was invented in the 50's. In Oklahoma City of all places.

Rimming was very prevalent in the 1920s', just did not talk about such. It was not called the roaring 20s' for nothing!

Jumping jimjams, more roaring '20s rimming!

Did they even have toilet paper back then, or did they simply use bark and leaves?

Probably no where near as prevalent. In addition to poor hygiene most people were sexually ignorant beyond what farm animals did. I remember a cousin overheard her elderly parents, my great aunt and uncle, discuss oral sex with amazement during the Lewinsky affair. Her father couldn't believe the president would do something "so perverted" while her mother was just in shock at the very concept. She couldn't fathom "what sort of woman" would willingly perform such an act. You would've thought Bill and Monica raped a baby in the Oval Office. They got married in the late 20s.

One of my long-held fantasies has always been to travel back in time to the turn of the century/industrializing America and hook up with those swarthy, immigrant I-talians. You know, the ones in suspenders and top hats (or whatever you call them). You know, really spread their cheeks and feast on their hairy, musky ass as they moan in Italiany New Yorkese.

But I guess reality would have been a lot more unpleasant, huh?

[quote]Did they even have toilet paper back then, or did they simply use bark and leaves?

Sears catalog.

Oral sex was perverted back then. In fact a "starlet" killed her producer and for her defense she said, he made her perform oral sex on him. It shocked the jury so much that they acquitted her and the public opinion agreed with her that she was right to kill him.

Get in line, bitches!!

And R13, you a dirty boy! Why you wanna lick-a my ass-a?

23 Skid-doo

For the reverse of what r13 says, in "Queer Masculinities 1550-1800: Same Sex Desire in the Early Modern World," the authors record that anal sex was preferred over oral sex due to it being considered "cleaner"! Make of that what you will.

r15 Right in the star, that one!

The phrase "What's eating you?" did originate in the 20s.

R13 How about their smegma encrusted uncut Italian sausages as well? A rimjob as a first course and then a blowjob for seconds. Then you can throw up from ingesting tons of ass and dick cheese combined.

Well spank, errr lick, my ass and call me Charlie!

Even you squeamish bitches would drop to your knees and enjoy an Italian buffet of these three!

Did they have anal back in the 20s?

Sweetie, they've had anal since 20,000 BC.

r22 r23 No, anal was invented in 1867 by Thomas Edison.

I can't marine having anal or eating out the ass of a guy who pooped in a bucket and wiped with bark.

I can't imagine

R25 don't forget they bathed once a month! Or maybe even less.

Oh my.

Well, I always made sure Anne gave me a good licking back there before boarding my plane.

Now, talk about flying!!!

So, they had anal without condoms (I'm guessing). HIV didn't exist back then. Or did it?

R30 totally just made it weird.

We knew a fabulous Jewish eldersister(now sadly RIP, diabetes) who used to pick up 'working' numbers on Santa Monica Blvd and bury her tongue in their bung holes. If by chance she uncovered a dingleberry she did not complain because it was like she was getting a little something extra for the money!

Fans used to flock to the old movie palaces and swoon to see Rudolph Valentino get a deep French kiss in his hole. It was all the rage back then.

I was curious about rimming with unwiped butt and now I'm interested in anal with an unwiped butt.

I'm sure there are scat aficionados out there.

Gramps, replace "would" with "will" and maybe you'll be relevant.

R35, Rudolph Valentino and Ramon Novarro also used to take turns spreading each other's ass-cheeks and tossing each other's salad right there on screen. Most suffragists loved it, but some thought it was a bit much for the newsies!

Where do you think the term Dirty Sanchez originated, afterall?

Whoa. Very educational.

This should be a class: 1920s Roaring Rimming and Anal Play Studies.

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care. They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

Regarding r38: why does it redact the post, but not the link? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Per Wikipedia:

"The term anilingus was coined by sexologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing in his book Psychopathia sexualis (1886)."

So we know it was common for fun by the late 1800s. It was used earlier for punishment, though presumably the recipients enjoyed it:

"Forced and mostly public anilingus was used from time immemorial as a form of humiliation and punishment, usually of prisoners. The use of the practice in the Thirty Years' War was described by Grimmelshausen in Simplicius Simplicissimus (1668)."

It was probably like this.

I presume the prisoners were, ahem, forced to perform the analingus; not receive it.

This was considered the song of choice to get you in the mood for a nice, long night of romantic ass-eating!

Dirty asses, rimming, Rudolph Valentino, swarthy Italians, 1920s hygiene. I love this thread! Only on DL!

23 skidoo!!!

Even then, r42, I bet there were a lot of repeat offenders. Maybe that's why it was phased out as a punishment.

Ahem, once again, I would like to be properly credited for being a trailblazer in this regard!! My tongue-baths were infamous!

Why does every generation think they invented sex? Sucking,fucking,anal,rimming...your grandparents did it all.

When was the rim chair invented?

Once I was flipping through a book of vintage porn and saw a couple that looked disturbingly like my grandparents.

Who wiped Howard Taft's ass?

In rural areas in earlier times they used corn cobs to wipe.

r52 Hence the phrase, "rough as a cob."

Cornholing? Is that related, R53?

Toilet paper wasn't used until the 1920s in America. So anal and rimming must have been rough back then.

I feel like I would have just been a virgin if I'd lived back then. I'm attracted to good hygiene.

You probably would have been the dirtiest whore of them all, R56!!

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Maybe ; )

If I was really into the guy, I would have rimmed him during the pre-anal cleansing era.

[quote] If I was really into the guy, I would have rimmed him during the pre-anal cleansing era.

What a romantic.

In the 1920s, it was called the lickety-splits, OP. That was a term made up by Calvin Coolidge.

Somebody ask Carol Channing.

You prudes are making a way bigger deal about the hygiene than it actually was! It really wasn't so bad for us!

[quote] Ahem, once again, I would like to be properly credited for being a trailblazer in this regard!! My tongue-baths were infamous! by: Helen Keller

They were infamous because you were trying to eat an ice cream sundae.

Ms. Carteris, I feel Helen Keller was a myth. Did she actually exist?

Why don't we ask Joan Collins?

You silly people.

All you had to do was rub some molasses onto the hole and voila! Shoo-fly pie!

Corn? Corn again? Corn? Now when did i eat corn??

Are you high, R68?

I'm confused. Didn't Anal get married to George Clooney?

Well, they DID have enemas back then ...

This is the funniest thread Ive read in awhile and the appearance of Ms. Carteris just made my day.

I know oral sex in that time was not something good girls did, I wonder how much any of those taboos made their way over to the gay community, which was mostly closeted. Smaller houses with more people, less privacy, I wonder if using an enema would have aroused suspicions, or even if gay people would have used them for prep back then. I think some rimming and fucking probably happened right after bathing, or after a swim. I'm thinking there was probably lots more frottage and mutual jacking going on.

[quote]Toilet paper wasn't used until the 1920s in America.

R55. What did they use before then?

Old bits of hoof!

Since their buttholes smelled like Ivory soap, which at the time was 99 44/100% pure, it was pretty nice.

The Princeton rub was all we did.

R76 Ivory ran more explicit ads than that, back in the "innocent" days. Men showering together, boys skinny-dipping. No dick, of course, but full ass shots. But they were drawings, not photogtaphs, so I suppose people didn't find it offensive.

Long before Playgirl...

While actor George O'Brien was a huge star in the 20s and did nudes with ass shots.

Sorry should read: "he did nudes with ass shots".

Well back in those days in Australia, when food was scarce, we used to look forward to the dingleberries! We called it dinner!!

R81 You must mean Dingoberries. We're talking about Australia after all.

R79 I had no idea they had tumbrl in the 1920s.

Back in the day, we used to spread the arse and yell "Ahoy Matey" before diving in face first. That gave any critters a fighting chance to flee the area and make way for our tongues to forage around like Lewis and Clark.

The 1920s were after my time, but when I'd get to rimming my boys before supper, I'd occasionally find some leaves of grass up there!

I had to do it at my audition for America's favorite daughter on Eight is Enough! I brought tears to Dick Van Patten's eyes.

Most guys smelled like fairies.

Nasty, brutish, and short.

Most of you clearly are completely ignorant of men's grooming habits of the 1920's. They were obsessive about grooming. Heavy duty lye soap (laundry soap like Fels-Naptha was used to scrub down skin and discourage bug bites), shaving with steam cream, shaving soap, cologne, astringent rubs, camphor circulation tonics, lavender and bergamot hair tonics, body powders, scalp powders, pomade, etc. On lunch break you'd go to the barber to freshen your shave if you had somewhere to be later that evening.

Dear Lord in Heaven!

So all men were homosexual or metrosexual back in the day, R90.

I mean R89

Back then, it was a real alternative to going up into the man.

The Great Gatsby

R92 No, they just weren't slobs. Even guys doing dirty jobs had showers at work and you'd leave even a mining cave dressed in a button up and slacks. Actual slacks that couldn't pass for stretch pajamas. They were also terrified of getting sick and getting because that was much more dangerous and troublesome to get rid of, back then. Like I said, they scrubbed with heavy duty stuff and scrubbing was pretty much your best prevention.

Well, chocolate was a luxury pretty hard to come by back in those days! We took whatever we could get our hands or tongue on!

I think you'd have to go back to the days of no indoor plumbing to get really terrible butt hygiene.

I heard tell that late one night back in eighteen fifty and seven, when they were still young'uns, that after a spirited hoe-down and one too many shots of corn whiskey between 'em, Isaiah Edwards dove tongue-first into Charles Ingalls' bunghole and didn't come up for air for near to one half hour.

there was no manscaping back then, so the hair must have been abundant

r99 Three cheers!

Chocolat!!

R6 & R7 :What about when our ancestors were still cave men. They would acted very much like animal then.

Lots of hairy holes back then.

Men AND women.

Autoerotic asphyxiation began in the late 1920s. They called it the "Isadora Duncan".

R99 Cleanly scrubbed hair is wonderful, though.

My grandfather's army buddy was said to have died in 1923 after getting his neck tangled in another gentleman's suspenders whist giving him the rim.

r104 Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.....

I don't know about rimming, but of course we had anal sex. How else do you suppose I trained myself to sit on top of a flagpole for 49 days straight?

You can't see it, but Rudolph Valentino is getting rimmed right here in this picture. The very first discreet rim-seat!!!

Nasty. Just the Saturday night bath if you were lucky. It puts a whole new twist on the term "dirty sex."

Where's the 95 y/o Super-elderqueen? He would be the closest to answering this most accurately!

They did it in Roman times.

I love R7.

Note true. Public baths were widely available and used by most working men. They provided arse washing and male bonding. Some of them are still in use today in London.

When I was a kid in the '70s, I thought oral sex meant talking dirty. Even "racy" magazines like [italic]Cosmo[/italic] wouldn't come right out and say what it wa. It took finding some old [italic]Hustler[/italic]s in the vacant lot behind our house for me to finally have that "aha" moment.

^ *was*

yummy yummy, 1920s men's arses

Everyone looked musky, untrimmed in those vintage porn (1890s-early teens).

The guy on the extreme left at R20 is hotter than anyone from nowadays. I would have that boy's butt-baby.

yummy yummy in your tummy

More likely, yummy yummy up his butt!

The one thread made for Ann L. Lingus, MD, and she's nowhere to be found : /

I am right here, r122!

Sorry, AnnE!

Bless your heart, R115.
