If worth keeping, this sounds more like Accidental Innuendo as it's not intended to be seen as such. Also the bolded part could be reworked.

^I think it's better to rework the last sentence.

Yeah the bolded part is too wanky, it could use a toning down.

^ Yeah, that's why I was thinking of reworking this example to tone down stuff.

Seeing as the trope "sounds like sex" anyway, I think the sentence can stop at "moan".

Or even just "...sounds like something else."

Just cut it. This is pure Audience Reaction. From the trope page: However, in this particular case the noises made by the victim are mistaken for sounds of sexual pleasure by other characters.

No one is mistaking the sounds for anything, just audiences thinking that they sound kinda sensual.

To be fair, there's some examples that are Audience Reaction and I thought it's okay. I'll try to cut it but I think I can rework it for now.

I cut it as misuse. That page needs a lot of cleanup.

Yeah, it needs a cleanup because it's a In-universe example. What forum should I go to report a misused trope?

Try opening a trope talk discussion. Or do a Wick Check and take it to TRS when a slot opens.
