The term "lecherous" in literature is often employed as a vivid marker of excessive, usually dissolute, sexual desire and moral decay. Writers apply it to a diverse array of figures—ranging from divine beings and grotesque monsters to debauched human characters—in order to underscore their base or licentious nature ([1], [2]). In some texts the word amplifies a satirical or condemnatory tone by highlighting corrupt behavior, while in others it lends an almost bestial quality to lustful actions, as in descriptions of unruly or grotesque characters ([3], [4]). It is also used to infuse narratives with bawdy humor or to accentuate a character’s unabashed, even rabid, passions ([5], [6]), enriching the overall atmosphere of debauchery and verbal flamboyance found throughout varied literary works ([7], [8]).
