Contemporary accounts and later romanticized histories often portrayed these men as “lusty”—meaning full of healthy vigor, sexual appetite, and unrestrained energy. This paper examines the historical reality behind the myth, focusing on the social and bodily aspects of buccaneer life, including diet, discipline, violence, and sexual behavior. It argues that the “lusty buccaneer” is a literary construct blending fact with masculine fantasy.
