Bawdy pier turn slammed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prurient

'bawdy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pier turn slammed' is the wordplay.
'slammed' indicates an anagram.
'pier'+'turn'='pierturn'
'pierturn' with letters rearranged gives 'PRURIENT'.

(Other definitions for prurient that I've seen before include "Salacious, voyeuristic" , "Unhealthily interested in sexual matters" , "Encouraging lustfulness" , "Morbidly interested in sexual matters" , "Given to lewd thoughts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
