Ooo, good question! I was talking to someone about this a few weeks ago.
The popular ones appear to be:
Arse, backside, behind, bottom, bum, rear, tush, pucker, anus, taint, o-ring...
I quite like 'pucker' when I want to go descriptive, otherwise I'd probably rework the sentence to allow a 'nicer' word if the story will allow it.

I dumped a boy once after I overheard him telling one of his mates that I "took it up the shitter!", don't know if it was the adjective he used or the immaturity of boasting to his pal's that helped make my decision though! Good luck with the story xx
This is always a difficult choice.
Do you go for words that will enhance the story but will alienate readers opinions or do you just thick "fuck it" and go for the best storyline you can. Usually I let the story dictate which word I use. Here are a couple of my favourites: backdoor, arse, arsehole, butt hole, puckered little star, anal chasm, bowels, rectum, bum, bum hole.
I have used more extreme names but like "Hotghirl" above, I didn't like it but it seemed appropriate to the story.

(Snooker reference - imagine John Virgo whispering in your ear) "Oooh, looks like he's going to leave the easy pink and take the difficult brown."
(Star Wars re-write) - "The target area is only two centimeters wide. It's a small brown exhaust port, right below the pink port. Your shaft should lead directly into the rectal system."
I think you have to be careful about what you're referring to, shylass. You seem to be asking about the actual orifice from which #2 emerges. But people (and writers) also refer to the entire area.
So, for example, with Liz's suggestions: arse, backside, behind, bottom, bum, rear, and tush I think most people tend to think of those as a references to the large (or not necessarily so large - maybe we should instead use the term 'general') area of the buttocks. (There may be a national difference there, too. Arse and bum are used in British English and not in American English - I'm from the states - and I've always understood them to mean 'buttocks area.' But maybe they're more specific. I know in American English the others (backside, behind, rear, and tush) are used and refer to the entire area.
Her suggestions of pucker, anus, taint, o-ring, to me, refer to the actual orifice.
I suppose (as you've noted) that a lot depends on the context of the story: drama, comedy, etc.
In the right context, like Liz, I tend to like 'pucker,' but that's only because Kevin Spacey used it in The Usual Suspects.

Why not read some stories instead
NEW! Want a quick read for your coffee break? Why not try this... Flash Erotica: Scrubber To credit those from whom I've stolen, Dancing_Doll uses "star" and "knott" a fair bit, which I think are pretty good. "Muscular ring" works quite well at times too.
I'm a big fan of "ass" and "asshole", as in, "Fuck my dirty, little ass!"
Or to get a bit Aussie on you all, "date" is always a crowd pleaser. But be warned, you do have to contextualise it with some sexy, otherwise it can come across a bit blokey. "Yeah, mate, he gave me the shits, so I stuck my thumb up his date." Rugby league fans will love that one.
My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill. For once you people have left me speechless. OMG. WDF.
Rosebud makes me think of the movie Citizen Kane. I struggle with this and have not found one I like. If it makes me giggle then No. So I just say things like:Put his finger in my ass. I can't take bum. Sorry my UKers and Aussies but it just makes me giggle. Or derriere or butt. Or for breasts, I can't take boobs. I still haven't found an answer to this challenge but maybe one day.
Never got into the more...unusual terms.

If the reader already knows that anal is on the way, you can just use 'hole'.
If she's begging him to "fuck my ass", then for the actual description, you can just proceed to something like "he spread her cheeks apart and slowly eased the length of his shaft into her tight little hole."
Sometimes it feels like a nicer read if you separate the 'ass' and the 'hole' bit. Just going straight for 'asshole' isn't a bad idea though - depending on the style of the story.
As Wilful said - I also use 'knot', or occasionally 'star', but usually with some kind of descriptive reference like "tight little", "pulsing", "tender", "resistant", "slippery", "well-lubed" etc.
You might be referring to it more than once, so it's good to vary it up a bit. As long as it fits with the general tone of the story, it's all good.
All those words are neat and I'm going to save them for some use later, however, the the statement "Fuck me in the ass.", carries a great deal of understandable meaning. It sends me into the clouds when ever I hear it.
I love words. They are one of the most important things we have. Understanding the "Meaning" of the words is of prime importance. If you don't believe that think of politicians speaking and preachers. They DO NOT want you to understand the meaning of what they say because they lose the control they are after when you do.
For me it's my little brown button hole.
As I don't do anal I say it's buttoned up.
Ass bum etc is enough.
The one way street is another I use but that's because I won't do anal.
POO CANNON! BOOOM! *falls over giggling*
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
