French term

bitte à pattes

Non-PRO May offend French to English Other Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
literally: a penis with legs
Meaning: a man who thinks only to sex
I am searching a colloquial translation, funny but not too slang please tell how it is

Anna Quail Mar 2, 2006:
You said you wanted something meaning someone who thinks about sex all the time: the answer Jennifer proposed means a sexy man - ie other people find him sexy - that's not the same thing. 10 translators tell you the same thing...

sex on legs

I have heard this often in the media referring to very sexy men!
Note from asker:
in the story http://www.likpa.com Bitapattes is the name of a rock group. I translated Kockonlegs.
