As Mr. Confucius said, 食色性也, food and sex play important roles in one's life, when you wants to eat, there is a word in Chinese 饿 to illustrate this state, but there seems no such a word in Chinese to describe the situation when you are horny, or perhaps there is, but beyond my knowledge. So anybody can help?
