What's a Sexier Word for "Asshole"? - from Em and Lo

Contributor: Em & Lo Em & Lo
A reader asked us that question this week, and we think it's an excellent one -- and one that unfortunately we have no answer for! So we thought we'd share it with the group. Vagina has so many sexier sounding possibilities, depending on your preference. Because most of us don't like to say "I love your vagina" in bed. So there are options. But when it comes to the asshole, what are the options? So many negative connotations with the a-hole word... what alternatives do you prefer?

I use bum, tush...or just "hole." I rarely actually refer to a person's insides as anything other than just their "insides."

I usually just say butt. I'm not sure there really is a sexy word for asshole unfortunately.

I just say 'Ass'. Although 'Asshole' is what I usually call everyone on the face of the planet who irritates me all day long out of frustration; that and the not-so-PC 'R Word'. (They both feel so good rolling off the tip of my tongue when I am angry!)

Tuckus is pretty sexy!

Yeah, I have noticed a lot of people refer to it as just "ass".

You can certainly tell people feel awkward though - saying "back there", "back door" and "Butt Secks" etc... kind of joking or averting.

I use bum the most often... I don't feel the need to wax poetical about either vaginas or anuses.

Ass is simple and works, Asshole is a bit dirty or mean... used more for a gesture... just my opinion.

Anus is what I use because it is less medical sounding than rectum.

Lol, they are too differnt things. I get what you mean though.

For us my man will just ask if he can use the back door for a change. Maybe it would sound sexy if you could say it in another languag. I speak french and it is the same word, maybe it would sound good in persian...

Furries call it a tailhole, apparently. Cute, but not my thing.
I just say ass :/
But I guess I havent ever had to say those things much under a sexy context because the words "fuck my ass" are the LAST things anyone will ever hear from me, lol.

I've used the word 'rosebud' in all my writings - I'm sure I didn't originate the use - so I'm surprised no one has mentioned it. To me it's self explanatory - but just in case; the analogy is a kind of poetic reference to the tight pucker that precedes the flowering - opening for sexual activity.

+1 point for the mention of Furries. +1 point for using Furries and the great and fearsome Cthulhu in the same day.

I also like the word "loch", which is German for "hole". It's kinda Klingon sounding...so have fun with that!

I have used rump before but not in a sexy way...I abhor "bunghole" though I've seen and heard it used. Course then I got involved in wine and beer making and learned what a bunghole really was which made using it to describe an ass much more amusing.
I had a friend who always refered to it as the "Hershey Highway" but involving chocolate in a discussion about ass just seems sort of sacrilegious to me.
For now I prefer ass or even butt to describe the whole thing. This could change at any moment.

My Dad called it the "pucker" or the "third eye" ...but he's a weird kinda guy...

please define "bunghole" in the wine/beer world.

yes, sacrilegious (unless it's white "chocolate")

I always thought the 3rd eye was located in the middle of the forehead.

"Whispering Eye" has been used already..."Gaping eye"?

I like to piss my partner off whom I peg on occasion and tell him that I'm entering hyperspace and going through his black hole.

He doesn't find me amusing in the least.

Well considering neither me nor my husband are okay with anal play (I know I'm so boring.... sorry it hurts). Anal play doesn't come up in the bedroom. We do use asshole as almost only a negitive term of endearment, when I have stoped pretending to be a southern bell. If we do speak of your butt though we call it your brown eye. Hey I'm young I'm aloud to be stupid .

I like to say vagina. And cunt. And asshole. I find all of that sexy. I understand that some people prefer phrases like "portal into a field daffodils" or something but, I think it's hot to call things what they. Such as asshole. Or vagina.

I've heard "strawberry" used in a hot way. My wife uses "ass," mainly.

Okole puka. (oh-cole-ay poo ka) Its Hawaiian for asshole.

Punanni is Hawaiian for cunt. My adopted language is beautiful.

Rosebud, as Gunsmoke said. Usually I just avoid using any words - action is better, I think!

I once horrified a girlfriend by telling her that everything about her was pink and cute - her nipples, her vaginal lips, her "cute little pink butthole"! I don't THINK that was why she broke up with me just a couple of weeks later, but...

I am going to go with Carol Queen, author of 'Exhibitionism for the Shy'. Dirty talk is important. Use 'asshole' shamelessly. If the reaction is negative, seize the opportunity to get into deeper communication.

I guess it just depends on what type of mood we're in. I don't really care for any of the words associated with it so I usually avoid calling it anything. When we do refer to it we normally use the term "ass".

However my boyfriend, on occasion, has been known to call it the "cinnamon ring"; but usually after he calls it that I'm laughing too hard for anything to be sexy!

The bunghole is the place in a casket of wine or beer where the tester is inserted. It's also an escape hole for excess gas buildup...come to think on it, it IS a good replacement for asshole.
