The laconic description for the trope is: "A moral and righteous character who enjoys having sex a lot."

I think that's a tropeworthy character type, but I don't think the name does that description justice. I also think the mainstream connotations of the word "slut" make the full concept of the trope inaccessible to some people.

To that end, I suggest renaming the trope to "Ethical Nympho" - short for "Nymphomaniac" which is the colloquial term for someone who is addicted to sex.

Eh, I think we need a much better case than that to ask for a rename. Especially in light of the usage counts.
