The term slut is typically only used in reference to women, a man who has all the sex he wants for the reason of having sex (or even as a substitute for self-esteem) is a 'player' or a 'stud.' A lot of girls I know who are, for lack of a better term, sluts, don't understand this.
The truth is, the reason this so-called double-standard exists, is because it's a lot easier for a woman to get action than a man. That's really what it all comes down to.
Then again, does it really matter? Personally, I will never be a 'player' simply because I have no desire to be. That doesn't mean that I have a right to describe someone with the term slut just because they have a great deal of sex or emotional issues.
