Are we talking about Queen Jezebel, who just happened to worship someone who wasn't as strict on those matters. Seriously, by Roman standards, she was staid. I guess it depends on your POV.

AFAIK, Jezebel is synonymous with someone who can, and will, use sexual allure to get what she wants, and is not afraid to have sex as part of it, but is not someone who spent all their time doing nothing but having sex.
