lewd
Indecently sexually suggestive
Lewd describes sexual behavior or content that is crude, lustful, or offensive.
A lewd gesture or lewd remark is sexually suggestive in a way that violates social norms.
The word often appears in legal contexts: lewd and lascivious conduct, lewd acts with a minor.
Something merely sexy isn't lewd—the word implies vulgarity or impropriety.
