Chio

Etchi as an adjective can be translated as lewd or sexy, while as a noun it can be translated as sexual intercourse, e.g. to do etchi (etchi suru) would mean to have sex. The word sekkusu is also used in Japan for sex, and Japanese native words for sex (such as hahaha24615;hahaha20132; seikhahaha333;) are often replaced by words of foreign origin such as sekkusu or neologisms such as etchi. The nuance of etchi varies with context, but in general the word itself is comparable in nuance to the English words "naughty" or "dirty" (when used as an adjective). The prefix "H-" is sometimes used to refer to pornographic genres: H-anime, H-manga, etc.
