Danilo, In common, everyday usage in the USA, to say that 'Oh that sucks!' has become a slang expression meaning 'Oh that is not pleasant' or 'Oh that is an unfortunate outcome'. Few people think about the sexual connection. Many people use the expression. Most people under 30 think nothing of it. Regards, Bob S.
