Do you like sex? I used to. I'm a very physical person. But you know what it's like. after you've been married for a while, the way the passion fades, the way kids exhaust you and kill you sex drive.
Does it mean "a person with lots of sex need"?

someone who likes physical contact
Not necessarily sex (though that would be one aspect of being physical), but who likes physical contact with other people, holding hands, hugging etc

I found this definition on dictionary.com, which confirms my understanding:
6. tending to touch, hug, pat, etc.; physically demonstrative: a physical person.

Rafal Korycinski
: Yeah. Someone for whom the physical side of life is important. That includes physical exercises, physical contact - everything, that is the source of physical (i.e. comming from body, not mind) simuli.

Armorel Young
: Basically someone who enjoys using/being aware of their body; I don't see the term as being specifically sexual or in itself meaning that the person has lots of "sex need"

Sorry: called, not caklled.
Someone who needs to have sex frequently and would like it to be passionate (I guess). Sometimes called "hot" but the terms are getting a little curious.

Possibly also very affectionate but not necessarily as that could be with the children. Affection is really emotional, not physical.

Olga Layer
: It's about the need for physical contact (i.e. someone who likes to be touched, hugged, etc.). Has nothing to do with being physically active in sports or being the opposite of an intellectual person.
