The name literally means “lord of the cleft or opening.” Some Bible commentators assert that Baal-Peor refers to degrading sexual rites involving bodily orifices including the worship of human excrement and anal intercourse. Excrement is that which is rejected from the body and is considered disgusting and undgodly. Such was the attribute of the Baalim — the worship of that which is disgusting and degrading by godly and civilized humans. Again, Baalzebub was the god of these disgusting practices. The children of Israelites fell into the worship of this idol (Num 25:3, 5, 18; 31:16; Deut 4:3; Ps 106:28; Hos 9:10)>Rashi: and prostrated themselves to their gods: When his urge overcame him, and he said to her, “Submit to me,” she took out an image of Peor from her bosom and said to him, “Bow down before this.” - [Sifrei Balak 1]>Peor: [פְּעוֹר was so named] because before it they bared פּוֹעֲרִין their anus before it and relieved themselves. This was the manner of its worship. - [Sifrei Balak 1] and the anger of the Lord flared against Israel: He sent a plague upon them>The Hebrew stem p’r means ‘open’, and is used to refer to both mouth and anus. Pe’or, if it derives from the same stem, could therefore mean ‘opening’ or, as noted by Rashi above, “Peor was so named because before it they bared their anus […] and relieved themselves. This was the manner of its worship>Some rabbis claim that he must be worshipped on a toilet, with offerings being the residue of ones’ digestion. This has led some to conclude that Belphegor is the god Pet (Fart) or “Crepitus,” while others believe that he is Priapus
