Hmm yes I think that would work, though I don't think it's used solely for a sexual meaning .

Other ones, also used more generally i.e. in terms of adrenaline kick:

'He/She gets my juices flowing'.
' He/She really has me going'.

The latter howwever may also be used if someone winds you up, or plays a trick on you.

The word you're looking for is horny.
A direct translation of me da mucho morbo
is, it makes me very horny.

You can also say, it turns me on.

Sí, en español diríamos me pone cachondo, supongo que son sinónimos, though cachondo is when you´re ready, and "morbo" is more that whets you´re appetite. I guess.

"Morbo" es una palabra bastante difícil de traducir. Se puede referir a sexual, enfermizo, prohibido, etc. En alemán se traduce como "krankenhaft Interesse" lo cual es bastante cierto, es un interés enfermizo por algo, ya sea sexual, prohibido, etc.
Saludos
Ej: "la mujer de mi jefe me da mucho morbo" (sexual)
- La gente siempre se queda mirando después de un accidente, les da morbo (Interés)
- La peste empezó a afectar el pueblo. La gente. morbosa, apostaba quién sería el siguiente.

saludos

The word morbidity exists in English meaning illness. You can also use the adjective morbid to express the idea in number 3: e.g. morbid curiosity.
