wantons
Those without restraint
Wantons is the plural of wanton—people who act without moral restraint, especially in sexual matters.
The word is old-fashioned and literary: a tale of wantons and wastrels.
As a verb, wantons means to behave recklessly or indulge without restraint: She wantons away her inheritance.
The word carries connotations of deliberate, almost gleeful disregard for propriety.
