Meanings
- uncountableThe desire for sexual intercourse.
Women's rhythm of life, her monthly renewal with her patroness the Moon, is the most important thing in her existence. It is her stability in a world made mad for ever by man's wretched alternating between the tension of sex-hunger and the slap-happy folly of indulgence.
1961, Xavier Herbert, Soldiers' Women, Netley, SA: Fontana Books, published 1978, page 1451 more example
Here are two entirely unwarranted assumptions: First, that a woman of strong passions is necessarily born of lust; secondly, that being thus organized, if she refuses to bear the torture of sex hunger and exercises that function before the state says she may, she is, as a matter of course, a fallen woman.
1896, Lois Waisbrooker, My Century Plant, Topeka, Kansas: Independent Publishing Company, page 213
