People use it as slang for doing something in the most basic way without protection/assistance/augmentation, etc.

Pretty much just like the lady in the comic.

Yes, because they understand the meaning and are making a play off of it. I genuinely do not believe anyone over the age of 12 who uses the term "rawdog" isn't completely and fully aware of the meaning when they use it.

Tbf the kind of person who might make this mistake is exactly the kind of person who would be embarrassed discovering the true meaning. The kind who doesn’t swear but is exposed to people who do and pick up the vernacular without the origins.

People will often only hear slang in this context and have no idea it relates back to sex at all. This comic is very true to life. I was definitely the kid that used terms without knowing their true meaning.

Also the character in the comic may well be under 12
