horn dog

Constantly craving intimacy

A horn dog is a person, usually male, who is aggressively or persistently focused on sex.

The term suggests someone whose sexual appetite dominates their behavior: He's such a horn dog—he hits on everyone at the bar.

Horn comes from the longstanding slang association between horns and sexual arousal (horny).

The word is crude but often used with humor rather than real condemnation.
