Shagaholic is British slang for a person with an obsessive or compulsive interest in sex — someone notionally 'addicted' to having sex. The '-aholic' suffix (from 'alcoholic') is productively applied in English to form mock-addiction compounds ('workaholic,' 'chocoholic'). Shagaholic is informal, sexually explicit in register, and typically used either self-deprecatingly or as a slightly teasing label. It treats sexual enthusiasm as an addiction with the same exaggerated mock-diagnostic approach as all '-aholic' compounds.
His reputation as a shagaholic was mostly legend — he was actually quite introverted outside the office gossip.
