Thank you, this helped but I was playing to have it tattooed on my wrist so I think it'd be best if I had it in another language that I could be sure about the translation for.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thankyou, I was planning for it to be a tattoo but I don't really want a tattoo saying sexed up, so your advice and comments have been helpful :D


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Balasubramaniam L.: All these words mean "highly sexed". The more dominant meaning of "harami" is "illegitimate". It is a Hindi word. Hedonist is one who is a pleasure-seeker, including sexual pleasures, but not restricted to just that.
