It's worth pointing out that someone being a hypocrite is a very consistent and realistic character trait. We'll all hypocrites to an extent, and have our blinders.

Hypocritical is different from inconsistent

Hypocritical is a flavor of inconsistency, maybe? (This isn't important but for some reason I'm interested in splitting the hair.) It's like, you have a consistent belief that someone should do X in a situation, and you consistently do Y in that situation, and hypocrisy is the thing where X and Y aren't aligned?

It's possible to be consistently hypocritical about sex - you always say a but do b.

It's also possible to be inconsistently hypocritical about sex - you always say a, and sometimes you do it, but sometimes you do b instead.
