Вот вариант покрасивее:

I have hot blood in my veins.

Однако я не уверен в том, что его имеет смысл использовать в таком контексте.

hot-blooded (lustful/passionate)


Explanation:
Hot-blooded is a valid English word for describing someone who is easily excited (or aroused).

If you are looking for a synonym for the word that might carry more meaning context is important.

Words like lustful tend to have a negative connotation. Meaning that the person gets aroused and can't help but act on those feelings.

Passionate has a more positive connotation as in "he is a passionate lover".

I've attached the Merriam Webster definition of hot-blooded in the links below.

It doesn't always just have sexual connotations. Though that is common, if it about something else "passionate" would probably be a good fit.

No problem. If he is referring to how easily he gets angry, short-tempered or quick-tempered helps portray the ease with which he gets angry but doesn’t carry some of the violent connotations that hot-tempered carries. Hot-tempered sounds more like he is not just easily angered but that he gets caught up in the heat of anger which could lead to violence.

Example sentence(s):
  • A hot-blooded person has strong sexual feelings and energy:
  • He's just your average 25-year-old hot-blooded male.

Asker: The person is basically saying that by nature he is capable of killing but because he doesn't believe in violence he has a line that he doesn't cross. It's a murder trial that I am working at. Nothing lustful about it. :-)) Very sad actually.

Asker: Thank you by the way. :))
