The ethics of Anime-land are fluid and lackadaisical, and nowhere is this more evident than in the case of the '''Lovable Sex Maniac'''. This form of [[Casanova]] goes above and beyond the average sleaze, engaging in the full spectrum of perversion - from dabbling in pornography to blatant sexual advances to outright molestation, sometimes of severely underaged characters. In the real world, of course, (even real-world Japan) such behavior will land you in hot water - but in anime, the worst you'll get is a whack from a [[Hyperspace Mallet]]. The only thing that keeps the Lovable Sex Maniac from being a truly disturbing [[Anti-Hero]] is that his antics are always played for laughs—and the odd thing is, it usually works.

A [[Hard-Drinking Party Girl]] can double as the Lovable Sex Maniac with, interestingly, very little change just because she's female, especially if the [[Fundamentally Female Cast|lack of men]] [[SitchSituational Sexuality|forces her]] to chase after women. Compare the [[Chivalrous Pervert]]. Contrast [[Handsome Lech]].

* Sanji from ''[[One Piece]]''. He will do just about anything for any woman and [[Would NotWouldn't Hit a Girl|cannot bring himself to even hit one]], even if his opponent is really a male shapeshifter masquerading as a girl and he knows as much. He will, however, take any chance he gets to ogle a woman, to the point that he used to dream about eating the Suke-Suke Devil Fruit, which would grant him [[Invisibility]] and make it possible for him to [[Power Perversion Potential|peep on naked women]].

* Happosai from ''[[Ranma ½|Happosai]]''. Functionally, Happosai is more of a [[Fair Weather Mentor]] version of the [[Old Master]], spliced with the [[Dirty Old Man]], but the way his perversions are treated in the series qualifies him for this. While he does often get treated as the villain, that's more because of his habit of A: throwing temper tantrums to try and break Ranma to his will, and B: stirring up trouble that [[Sins of Our Fathers|Ranma and company have to solve]] than because of his lechery. Not only is he focused on groping and voyeurism, but he's also a [[Panty Thief]] - in fact, he's literally addicted to being a pervert, and goes into actual withdrawal symptoms if he doesn't get to sate his desires often enough.

* Jun of ''[[Hayate Cross× Blade]]'' typically enters a scene by crawling out from under a table where she was looking up everyone's skirts.

**:* Not to mention the time that the TARDIS got trapped inside itself both spatially and temporally, and Amy and her time-displaced self started hitting ''on each other''. Rory's response to this was to drool on the TARDIS floor.

*:* River. At first she seems to have [[Single-Target Sexuality]] but later episodes show her amused appreciation when she sees what she assumes to be one of her guards dressed as a Roman, (a flash of lightning reveals it to be Rory {{spoiler|who is in fact her dad}}) cheerfully saying that they must have finally started reading her memos.

* Nineteen from ''Descendent[[Descendant of a Demon Lord]]'' has a habit of sneaking in Celes's bed and waiting for Celes to show up or wake up when Nineteen wants to talk to Celes about espionage. Nineteen also flirts with Celes during these talks. Things like threatening to punish Nineteen up only result in her talking about BDSM. One time when Nineteen decided to leave her meeting with Celes she said “Well, you two have fun. I’ve got places to peep!”

* Kendall of ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120711043205/http://rainchildstudios.com/strawberry/ Strawberry Death Cake]''.

* Kiel'ndia from ''[[Drowtales]]'' is a prepubescent/larval version of this, having [https://web.archive.org/web/20111206060200/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5365 declared her intentions] to gather a harem of princes ([[Bi the Way|and one princess]]) and blatantly hit on not only [https://web.archive.org/web/20111206062250/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7019 Nau'kheol], but also expressed interest in his sister [https://web.archive.org/web/20111206063245/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7718 Chry'stel].

* [[Playboy|Hugh Hefner]] iswas the living embodiment of this trope. He once stated that his favorite birthday gift he ever got was his current girlfriend in the grotto... along with seventeen of her closest bunny friends.
