* Fix definition: not just overstaying, but simply illegal *residence*. (daijr specifies: 不法入国・不法上陸・不法残留 – illegal entry, illegal landing, illegal overstaying)
As eijr examples make clear though, in Japan this is overwhelmingly overstaying, hence worth mentioning separately, but not as the main definition.
(In conversation with friend, who used to refer to Mexicans in the US, in this case entering illegally (not overstaying).)

I don't think that's 弾 being used as a suffix - it's just the regular use of a kanji in Japanese kango morphology. Unidic. which is a major morpheme lexicon, shows 砲弾, 銃弾 and 防弾 as free-standing morphemes; not as noun+suffix formations.

  Comments:
After I wrote up my analysis, I swapped [1] and [2].  Seems pretty overwhelmingly sexual in literature, and online in general. See the yahoo reference for an off-the-cuff remark on the overtly sexual connotations of this term.

[vulg]? [sl]? Maybe just [col](not in the dictionary...).  I personally think [vulg] is probably too strong, but it is pretty obviously very sexual and will appear with other [vulg] terms, so I don't know how to tag that. Maybe something like 押し倒す does:
    to push (and hold) someone down (esp. with sexual connotations)

Pretty funny to stumble on in any case.  I think I would liken this to the English word "fondle".  Sure, it doesn't *have* to be sexual. You *can* fondle around for keys in your pocket...

Google image search is *entirely* blocked "safe search" settings.  Yourei examples are extensive, and the direct object is overwhelmingly 乳房 , followed by 胸.  If you have safe-search off on your image search, this will be confirmed.

sankoku uses くしゃくしゃ , which is indeed crumpling paper.  daijs is similar. This to me looks like a dictionary shying away from a vulgar or slang usage. [1] and [2] seem pretty evidently independent to me.    

~90% of yourei contexts are overtly sexual. There was one occurrence (3%) of "crumpling paper".  
On the first page alone, 28 total results, the direct objects were:
乳房 13 hits - breasts
胸 6 hits - chest
陰茎と睾丸 1 hit - penis & testicles
ペニス 2
体 1 (sexual)
躰 1 (sexual)
1 procession of body parts, don't know where it leads (left arm, right arm, neck...)

Possibly one non-sexual reference rubbing ones own face between the eyebrows 眉間

All of those were sense [1]. There was *one* example of [2], crumpling a newspaper:
カサカサと新聞紙を揉みしだく気配もする。痛くないんだろうか。

On the ngrams, usually there are some flowery words between 乳房 and 揉みしだく. The ngrams counts only capture the extremely direct statements.

You could certainly make similar points for 揉む and "massage", but 揉みしだく seems to be far more exclusively sexual. (compare image search results, for example).

GG5, etc.
  Comments:
I usually lean in favour of including compounds if they are common, but on this one I agree with Rene:
(a) it's a bit of a tautology, as 廃墟 doesn't need ビル after it.
(b) it's not really common - 58k hits cf 10M for 廃墟 itself
(c) 廃墟 is hardly ever used prenominally like that, and when it is it's usually 廃墟の.... "廃墟のビル" gets 164k hits, so I'd say this was more of an abbreviation.

Well it's a new word. Gets a fair number of hits. It might be obvious from its parts, but what if you're doing a reverse lookup or machine translation...

not just abandoned.  clearly rundown, dilapidated, etc., which is the exact meaning of 廃墟.  does this need an entry?

There are links to Japanese "contests".

  Comments:
It just looks odd to me as a JE entry. It's not a Japanese custom (the jwiki article is a direct translation of the English version), and if someone doesn't understand 濡れTシャツコンテスト from its parts, they're probably not going to understand "wet T-shirt contest" either.

i'd say this one should definitely be an entry.  it's a real thing and it's definitely idiomatic in english.  this seems to be the standard translation
