Hi,

How can I describe a man who’s always thinking of having sex with a woman or many different women? I think «lustful» but it’s a big word. Can I say:

He’s lustful, always wanting to sleep with women.

Thanks a lot

  • Greyfriar


    • #2

    Idiomatically we would probably say «He’s got sex on the brain; he’s sex mad; he’s a pervert.»

    Andygc


    • #3

    A man who is mad about women? How is that a perversion? He may have an abnormal and possibly unhealthy drive, but that doesn’t make him a pervert. That would require stealing knickers from clothes lines, or more vile habits.

    But these I can agree with: «He’s got sex on the brain» and «He’s sex mad».

    Cenzontle


    • #4

    «Sex on the brain» and «sex mad» are colloquial.
    At the other end of the spectrum of formality we find clinical terms like «libidinous» or «lascivious».

    I was about to ask but I wanted to wait and see if I could get some more input from other friends here. Then they came. I am not a native speaker and I’m here to learn, but FYI, the word pervert in Chinese is a very strong word meaning a man, usually who conducts abnormal behaviors to harass women, like a woman molester or a pedophile.

    “He’s a lusty fellow/guy. All he thinks about is the next woman he’s going to get into bed”. It’s a bit old-fashioned and usually said in fun. :)

    • #9

    I think «pervert» is the wrong word to use there: it has distinct connotations of something nasty.

    For me, «lecherous» might work, or if you want something colloquial, «randy». :)

    • #12

    If you want to sound neutral, i.e. not judgmental, you might say that «He has a strong sex-drive». I think «pervert» would give someone the wrong idea.

    But it depends who you’re talking to and how you feel about this person’s disposition. Do you approve or disapprove of him?
    Depending on the guy’s age, this may be very normal behaviour — certainly not perverted as far as I understand the word «lustful». Do you mean he forces himself on unwilling women or girls, Silver?

    Cenzontle


    • #13

    «Lustful» seems to be the leading word in the frequency contest of the Google Ngram Viewer.
    «Lusty»—although it clearly contains the word «lust»—is ambiguous, because it has other, nonsexual meanings:
    healthy, vigorous, hearty, robust, enthusiastic, rousing (that’s «rousing», not «arousing»;))—
    these are the synonyms given in my dictionary.

    Depending on the guy’s age, this may be very normal behaviour — certainly not perverted as far as I understand the word «lustful». Do you mean he forces himself on unwilling women or girls, Silver?

    Thanks a lot, Veli, both for the help you’ve offered and your questions.

    First, I want to say «I’m totally disagree with such behaviors; I disapprove of him totally», I think respecting women is always ahead of other things, no matter what type of woman she is. I mean many men have the wrong impression that women like sex more than men do nowadays. I don’t think so. But I am talking about men now, they are always looking for sex everywhere. Massage parlors here are always for men. If you use APPs, you see porn pictures everywhere, also looking for sex. When talking with men, always sex. This really disagrees with me. I’m not saying that I don’t want or like sex, but just not like that.

    Second, I don’t mean «he forces himself on unwilling women», this to me, which is illegal and I might use «rape» or «molest» to describe, this is against the law here, and I believe everywhere.

    Always thinking of taking sexual advantage of women. I’d like to give you some examples:

    1)Some women like hanging out with friends in bars, sometimes they go alone and they drink too much and sleep on the ground, they become pick-ups.
    2)Using App to chat with girls and induce them to have sex.

    Anyway, I’m not a feminist but I think it’s just wrong to do so. So I used «lustful», I know the word is very «big», «full of lust», so I guess, in all probability, we don’t say in in our daily lives. Greyfriar’s suggestion is good, though. :)

    «Lustful» sounds to me vaguely approving, in a vigorous, healthy 18th century way. Think Tom Jones, fornicating his way around England.

    Your friend seems to have no scruples at all when it comes to satisfying his sexual appetite. There must be more colloquial ways of saying that, but I’ll leave it to others.

    … but that doesn’t make him a pervert. That would require stealing knickers from clothes lines, or more vile habits.

    :thumbsup::D I like this wording — vile habits.

    The fellow’s got a

    one-track mind

    . All he ever thinks of is sex.

    I was about to ask but I wanted to wait and see if I could get some more input from other friends here. Then they came. I am not a native speaker and I’m here to learn, but FYI, the word pervert in Chinese is a very strong word meaning a man, usually who conducts abnormal behaviors to harass women, like a woman molester or a pedophile.

    Ciao Silver,

    same here.

    Greyfriar I consider ‘pervert’ a bit overstated too.

    A pervert here in Italy is someone who subjugate people to satisfy his/her sexual-drives.

    Hope my explanation is clear.

    In #13, I pointed out the high frequency of «lustful» in Google Books, but since then I have thought it sounds old-fashioned,
    harking back to a time when everyone agreed on which misdeeds constituted the Seven Deadly Sins.
    As velisarius (#15) suggested, perhaps the 18th century.
    In modern, non-slang, non-clinical language, I would describe that guy as over-sexed.

    Silverobama’s original question referred to a man who thinks about sex all the time.
    That’s one kind of person.
    Another kind talks about or alludes to sex frequently in speech.
    A third type acts on those sexual thoughts, forcing himself on women, etc.
    Maybe some of the terms cited above could be sorted out according to these three categories.
