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 [[Improbably Female Cast|lack of men]] [[Sitch Sexuality|forces her]] to chase after women. Compare the [[Chivalrous Pervert]]. Contrast [[Handsome Lech]].

* Erika Karisawa from ''[[Durarara]]'' is a rare female example, ''especially'' in the light novels. Far from just being a simple [[Yaoi Fangirl]], she regularly fantasizes about most of her guy friends having sex, writes them into erotic fanfiction, loudly reads out said erotic fanfiction in their presence, collects ecchi figurines of either gender, and occasionally greets barely-legal female friends by fondling their breasts and hips. ([[Gag Boobs|Poor Anri]])

* Shino, Aria and Yokoshima from ''[[Seitokai Yakuindomo]]'' are female examples. No wonder Takatoshi is always exasperated and ready to answer them when one of the three come with a pervert thought.

She's an angel (well, technically, anyway) with a major case of nymphomania who gets it on with any guy she finds cute. {{spoiler|Though said nymphomania ''does'' catch up to her, and in the [[Wham Episode]] she gets [[Brought Down to Normal]].}}

** Amy can sometimes fall into this. She's only attracted to a few people but she's ''very'' blatant about it. Of course there's the time she practically molested the Doctor after one particularly nasty situation was over, but her very first episode has this exchange, when the Doctor is changing:

** 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.

** His [[The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries|book counterpart]] didn't have most of HBO!Jason's vices: He was just a good-natured lunkhead of a [[Kavorka Man]] who tended to think with the wrong head. Recent personal tragedy has motivated him to clean up his act.
