Morphology
The phrase combines 'ass' (butt) with 'pound' (to strike repeatedly), so learners can readily infer a sense of forceful, repeated impact on the buttocks. However, the specific interpretation as vigorous anal sexual intercourse is a metaphorical, crude slang extension rather than a literal composition, so the precise sexual meaning is not fully predictable for a B1 learner without exposure.
Etymology
Ass pounding may come from the simple picture of being hit hard: ass meaning 'bottom' or the person, and pounding meaning strong, repeated hits. That's why people use it to mean 'a severe defeat' or 'a punishing experience'.
