libertine
Morally unrestrained individual
A libertine is someone who disregards moral restraints, especially in sexual matters—a person devoted to sensual pleasure without conventional limits.
The word carries an air of aristocratic decadence: He lived as a libertine, moving from affair to affair.
Historically, libertine also meant a freethinker who rejected religious orthodoxy.
The adjective describes such behavior: libertine excesses, a libertine lifestyle.
