You can make your own dental dam by cutting a rolled condom to the centre and then opening it up. Very clever! A dental dam is a thin 6” x 6” square of latex which a dentist uses to isolate a tooth when working on it. It is also used to make oral-genital sex safer.

Place the dam over the genitals of your partner, being especially careful to cover the area of oral-genital contact. Just be sure your mouth touches only one side of the dam, and her genitals touch only the other side.

You would use it the same way for rimming: mouth on one side of the latex, anus on the other. Do not use the same dam to perform cunnilingus that you use for anilingus (rimming). Use two separate dams!
