[Idiom] meaing of 'spoilt for love-making'?

[Curiosity1]

Hi,

What exactly does the bold sentence in the following para from a novel mean?

Arun was incredibly hotheaded and jealous, and she had only to look languidly at the languid Billy for Arun to start smouldering somewhere deep inside. It might be wonderful to have a smouldering husband in bed later, Meenakshi reflected, but such advantages did not come unadulterated. Sometimes Arun would go into a smouldering sulk, and was quite spoilt for love-making.


Does it mean Arun had any many other choices, besides Meenakshi, for love-making or does it mean Arun was eager to make love with Meenakshi?

Thanks
-----------------------------------
Clarification: This is the point of view of the wife, Meenakshi, about her husban Arun. Arun is a man, Meenakshi is a woman.

She lost her desire to make love when she was in a sulk.

The writer seems to be confused. If you're hotheaded you don't keep things inside (smolder). Instead, you lash out.

(If you had looked up "spoilt for" it would've answered your question.)

I had figured that out.

A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth

Capitalise book titles correctly, put them in italics and always give us the name of the author.

You said the writer was confused. Are you saying the author of the book was confused?


Also, I had googled the phrase, but it seemed to indicate something else. To be spoied for something means to be eager or to have too many choices.

Poor writing to use languidly and languid in such rapid succession.

I looked up "languid" in this dictionary:

https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/languid?q=languid

It says "moving slowly in an attractive way, not needing energy or effort"

Does this definition fit the context?

 

[Tarheel]

I guess it's used here to mean sexually appealing.

It's not an everyday word for me, and it rather leaves me cold.

I think the writer means to say that that one is trying to get the other one interested in sex.

I'd say it in a different way.
