Critical Incredulity

Rake?  Womanizer?  Philanderer? Cad?  

Though most of those are practically archaic. 

archaic and also carrying nowhere near the stigma of ‘slut’.

even calling a man a slut implies that his overt sexuality is at the same degrading level as an equivalent woman’s, since it’s a feminine-applying term being appropriated for male use

IIRC they carried somewhat similar - though clearly lesser - connotations back when they were actually in common use, but definitely not anymore.

Definitely not disputing the argument here, just thought I’d try and think up some words to answer reani’s rhetorical question.
