Mussy

A slang blend of 'man' and 'pussy' used in some gay male communities to refer to the anus in a sexual context.

Mussy is a piece of gay male sexual slang, a blend of the words 'man' and 'pussy.' It is used affectionately or erotically to refer to the anus, and sometimes to a man in the receptive role during anal sex. Like much queer erotic vocabulary, the word emerged informally within community and online spaces rather than any dictionary, and its tone shifts with context. Some men embrace it as playful and body-positive, while others find it crude or dislike the comparison it draws. It reflects a long tradition of LGBTQ+ communities inventing their own sexual language on their own terms.
