Positive use of “だめ”?


I had always thought from examples that “だめ” can have a slang positive
connotation in context, similar to how English speakers often use “sick” or
“damn” to express positive emotions, but I cannot find any of this usage in
dictionaries anywhere so am I wrong? For instance, a citation I have in front
of me is:

> ダメ、おっぱい弄られただけでイッちゃいそう

Which would imply a positive connotation. — Is this usage limited only to
sexual cases or can it also be used for instance as “ _ダメ、ここは音楽がいい_ ” to for
instance praise the music in a club?




This type of だめ implies some stimuli, desire, temptation, etc., is
irresistible. It may be most common in sexual contexts, but when someone says
"ダメだ、コンビニでお菓子買ってくる", this ダメ means he has been trying to resist the temptation
of sweets but he couldn't any more.
