anal intercourse
Backdoor sexual activity
Anal intercourse is sexual penetration of the anus, typically by a penis.
The term is clinical and neutral, appearing in medical, legal, and educational contexts.
Colloquial equivalents include *anal sex* and, more vulgarly, *butt-fucking* or *sodomy* (though sodomy has broader legal meanings).
