Salacious sin (4)

I believe the answer is:

lust

(Other definitions for lust that I've seen before include "One of the seven deadly sins" , "Lecherousness" , "Intense sexual desire, a deadly sin" , "Carnal desire" , "Deadly sin of extreme passion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
