Definitions
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.

A shag monster is British slang for someone with an outsized and enthusiastic appetite for casual sex — the person in the group whose romantic life resembles a particularly busy revolving door. It's more comedic than genuinely judgmental in most usages, often deployed with exasperated affection toward a friend who can't seem to stay out of someone else's bed. The 'monster' element amps up the hyperbole, making it sound less like criticism and more like a backhanded compliment.
