libidinous
Full of desire
Libidinous means driven by or expressing sexual desire.
The word carries a slightly clinical or literary tone, often describing someone whose behavior seems governed by lust: a libidinous old man, libidinous fantasies.
It suggests appetite rather than romance—desire as appetite, not affection.
