No, that's not "highly likely" at all, as it would be acknowledging the existence of male monsters, which we already know don't exist.

Most likely scenario is that she turns the husband into this thing, possibly as he is starving or even after already dying. He's probably constantly aroused and can never be sated to represent the whole gluttony thing, which would also explain the unusually graphic illustration (Assuming the illustrations are done from the perspective of the wandering scholar).
