http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H

・ In Japanese, H was originally an abbreviation for
"hentai" (pervert). It has come to mean sexual,
as in H games (pornographic computer games) or H suru
(meaning "to have sex"). Through the popularity of anime
(Japanese animation), the old incorrect meaning has
become known to fans in the west. See also Ecchi.
