Really? In Northern Ireland in the 80s/90s it was always used in the same way as spaz / flid etc - ie. an ableist slur. Kids would typically scream it when someone did something clumsy or uncoordinated. Lovely, eh?
I don't think I've actually heard the sex thing being used anywhere in the UK, except perhaps when discussing Pulp Fiction. Even in kink contexts!

Consent culture is necessarily a culture that doesn't use slurs in daily public life, and at least some who participate in kink are particularly careful about consent.
