How it's used
Often used as a modifier for nouns to describe content that is sexually explicit or suggestive. It carries a negative or cautionary connotation in most social contexts, implying that the material is inappropriate or potentially harmful. When referring to the act of viewing such content, people frequently use the more colloquial term 鹹濕 instead of this word.
Examples

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a person who is lecherous or perverted, as that would be 鹹濕. Using 色情 to describe a person sounds unnatural and overly clinical.
