What is the origin of the term "wankware" and how is it used?

Wankware is a slang term that appeared in late 20th–early 21st-century English to describe pornographic or sexually explicit software, often of low quality or from unreliable sources. The term combines "wank," a crude word for masturbation, with "ware," short for software or hardware, emphasizing its sexual purpose. Historically, it was informal and derogatory, used to criticize the content, quality, or purpose of such software. Today it remains vulgar and colloquial, generally used in casual, technical, or critical discussions rather than polite or formal contexts.
