“Lustful” means having or showing a very strong sexual desire for someone.

In more detail:

  • It usually describes feelings, looks, or actions that are strongly sexual, not just a light crush or simple attraction.
  • Example: “He gave her a lustful glance” means he looked at her with obvious sexual desire.
  • It can also carry a negative or disapproving tone, suggesting the desire is excessive, morally questionable, or hard to control.

So if someone is described as “lustful,” it generally means their thoughts, looks, or behaviour are driven mainly by intense sexual wanting, rather than affection or love.
