Excessively interested in intimate matters (8)

I believe the answer is:

prurient

(Other definitions for prurient that I've seen before include "Unhealthily interested in sexual matters" , "Sex-obsessed" , "Turn ripe (anag) - lewd" , "nastily obsessive" , "Having sexual and lustful thoughts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
