Is it because we have an entire generation whose conception of sex and sexuality have been solely informed by badly translated Japanese hentai?

Whenever I hear "lewd" I imagine crusty old ladies at a parish bridge club voicing their disapproval of poodle skirts or something

    Yes, but now it seems to have broken out of containment from basements worldwide and into the wider world, ie everyone sounds like a horny socially maladjusted weaboo from 4chan

      has it though? where are you seeing this increased usage? I checked google analytics and it does show a steady increase <see here> so maybe you're right, but it's still pretty subtle. I think this might be endemic to whatever content you're looking at tbh

      edit: localizing the data to canada or the usa flattens the graph even more, look at the past 5 years or past year for the usa in trends and it's very stable
