debauchee
This term carries a heavy moral judgment, suggesting a lifestyle of systemic excess rather than a one-time lapse in judgment. It evokes images of decadence, waste, and a deliberate abandonment of social or ethical constraints in favor of carnal gratification.
While similar to a hedonist, a debauchee is viewed with significantly more disdain. Hedonism can be a philosophical pursuit of pleasure, but debauchery implies a descent into corruption or degradation, often associated with the ruins of wealth or status.
