sex maniac

Lust-driven person

A sex maniac is someone with an obsessive or uncontrollable interest in sex.

The term can describe a person whose sexual appetite seems insatiable—used jokingly among friends or accusingly about predatory behavior.

In casual use, it's often hyperbolic: He texts me five times a day—he's a sex maniac.

More seriously, it suggests someone whose sexual impulses override normal judgment or boundaries.
