I believe the answer is:

wanton

'of easy virtue?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'keep desiring woman' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'woman' could be 'w' (abbreviation eg in Woman Police Constable) and 'w' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'anton' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wanton that I've seen before include "Reckless" , "Dissolute and shameless" , "Irresponsible, lacking proper restraint" , "Wilful - promiscuous" , "Thoughtlessly cruel or motiveless" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
