28. Prurient

Margaret Cho in 'Queer' (Huffington Post, 10/2/11) wrote,

“Sex is very fascinating to me outside purely prurient interest.”

What does she mean?

Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition is: ‘marked by or arousing an immoderate or unwholesome interest or desire, especially sexual desire’
