every human is like that at the monkey brain level. see hot stranger -> want to fuck them, it's primal instinct.
the thing is, if everyone blindly followed their instincts like that, we would not have civilisation, we would live like monkeys instead. promiscuity leads to all kinds of negative consequences, and most people realize this at some level, but others don't. those others used to simply go along with it due to social pressure and constraints, but as those constraints are getting weaker we see more and more of them revert to behaving like animals.
Well there's a tremendous emphasis now on the idea that your impulses are actually signifiers of your deep, innermost core as a person. There's very little in pop culture to say "you don't have to actually act on your impulses," and lots that says "if you don't act on your impulses, you'll go through life a dissatisfied husk and eventually snap from unfulfilled desires."
