'horny' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally define each other.

'males wearing tight denim put on platform' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'males' could be 'mm' (an abbreviation for male written twice) and 'mm' is found within the answer.
'wearing' could be 'in' (you are 'in' the clothes you're wearing) and 'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
