Could it be that the placeholder is based on the most popular search and the most popular search wherever Aliexpress is not mainstream is a NSFW term?

It seems to. The placeholder and popular search are different for differnet languages. You can switch to Deutsch and try to translate the page.

likely. they do have extensive underwear and sex toy collections and their prices are very low compared to shops in europe that sell the same stuff way overpriced

I don't know, I got "Höschen für ficken" too a while ago and WTFed. It sounds like a bad machine translation tbh, not like something anyone would say/type. So if anything it had to be searched a lot in other languages and then be translated automatically, but that's... a weird approach? Why not track the most searched terms for each localized version individually? Generally I don't know what most people buy on AliExpress though. For me it's for electronics parts/sensors/... where I can't find a cheap offering on Amazon, or if I feel adventurous and want to try out some weird electronics device that you can't get here at all. But do people buy panties on AliExpress? Doesn't sound like you'd save much, you can get them pretty cheap on Amazon etc. But maybe the ones on Amazon are unsuitable for fscking?

  Loaded up the website, German locale, I got this suggestion too. I guess to test the theory about "most popular search", one would have to get a botnet to search for a random string, to see if it would show up as a suggestion. As a side effect, the bot that monitors the suggestions and create spam offers might start offering "e99a507d-c1ef-416c-b704-166561a44ccd" for sale...

  Popular Porcelainese search terms or catalogue sections, presumably not obscene, automatically translated to European? Actual popular Dutch search terms from Dutch-locale users wouldn't be obscene (presumably).

Probably a combination of this and them not having a "bad word" filter for those languages (while having one for eg. english)

I don't think Aliexpress sells fornicating women. I have no clue why anyone would type in that - if anyone is looking for adult-oriented entertainment, add "dvd" or "film" (both have exact same spelling + meaning in dutch). Aliexpress is (as far as i know) a place where you buy things. This suggestion is not abuyable thing.

  On the contrary, if you are interested in this kind of entertainment, it is not unreasonable to look for “women fucking” and expect results related to that and not actual human beings. Not that I would do that. Ahem… Anyway, I regularly just enter keywords without appending “book” when I am looking for some books on Amazon. For example, I would not expect “WWII aircraft carriers” to return a listing for the actual thing.
