Spanish term or phrase: vengo muy duro
Evidence presented for divorce proceedings. This is a text exchange between the cheating husband and his girlfriend. There are several such texts and I have been able to figure out most of them based on context. I believe he is saying that he is sexually aroused (horny). I need to make sure that this expression doesn't have another meaning. TIA for your suggestions!

I have a hard-on or I have a huge boner
Explanation:
Sé que nadie me ha dado vela en este entierro, como se dice coloquialmente. Pero yo entiendo que la chica le dice que mejor se dejan de ver un tiempo y él le responde que está muy cachondo, que quiere sexo, a lo que ella le responde "agua con hielo". Entiendo que es algo así como que "se dé una ducha fría". Yo estoy de acuerdo con la interpretación de Lydia. Además, al principio él le dice que intentará ir a verla y para rezar no será.

Confieso que me ha costado un poco escribir mi opción por la vulgaridad, pero bue..

Olvidé decir que creo que la chica le dice que mejor se dejan de ver un tiempo, porque habló con "zz" y él sospecha.

Asker: Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo, Olivia. Mis dudas surgen dado a la diversidad de coloquialismos de nuestros países. Quiero estar segura de que 'venir duro' no tenga otro significado en Mexico.

(Mex, Bol, Uru) I am going to hit the bottle big time


Explanation:
OK, literally: I am coming on very hard.

pos aguas con yelo : then put plenty of ice in (or on) it....

duro: Mex > tipsy, drunk (Simon & Schuster) besoffen (sloshed, p***ed) Langenscheidt SPA/DEU, Mex, Bol & Uru).

(Cuba) I am turning very greedy duro = avaro, tacaño > Cuban slang terms, ciencias sociales> Carlos Paz Perez-

- subject always to confirmation from our Mexican and Cuban colleagues...

Indeed. It was in fact my 'Cubo-Canarian bells' that had been sent ringing.

Asker: Now this is an unexpected twist! I knew that 'duro' also refers to 'greedy' but had no idea it could mean 'drunk' - in which case the ice reference might also make sense!
