If a woman sleeps with a married man she is called a mistress....?

Question

If a man sleeps with a married woman then what is he called?

Answer 1

A man who sleeps with married women is a dog.
This is similiar to men and boys who will screw anyone; also are dogs.

Oh wait... that's ALL human males. Yeah, they are dogs.

Answer 2

A gigolo, or a stinkin' little creep - depending on how polite you wish to be, you can get a lot more descriptive.

A mistress ( a kept woman), by the way, is a woman with whom the married man has an agreement for her to provide him with intimate service on a regular basis. The guy will often treat her better than he treats his wife - buying the mistress expensive clothes, a car, and paying rent on an apartment for her - which is where he meets this woman he keeps on the side. If you just sleep with the guy now and then with no formal agreement, you're not necessarilhy a mistress. You're a dimwit for sure, though, if you spread your legs for him and don't make him pay for it!

Answer 3

Okay, so I'm going to be the one person on here who gives an actual, serious answer to the question.

A woman who sleeps with a married man is only called a mistress if they sleep together on a regular basis: "Mistress: a woman who has a continuing sexual relationship with a usually married man who is not her husband and from whom she generally receives material support" (TheFreeDictionary.com). If they do not sleep together regularly, then she is termed as a one-night stand.

There isn't really a generic term for man who sleeps with a married woman. Just goes to show how sexist American society is, right?

I think the closest you could get is a gigolo, "a man who has a continuing sexual relationship with and receives financial support from a woman" (TheFreeDictionary.com). The definition closely resembles that of the mistress, but note that the woman a gigolo has a relationship with does not necessarily have to be married.

Answer 4

The true definition of mistress is, a woman in a position of authority, control, or ownership, such as the head of a household. Long ago mistress was used formerly as a courtesy title when speaking to or of a woman.

Nowadays the word is more commonly used in reference to an adulterous woman; a woman who has an ongoing extramarital sexual relationship with a man. To correct a few who've answered already, it's not necessarily a single woman cheating with a married man, it's any extramarital relationship, so the mistress can be married as well and still be considered someone's mistress.

To answer your question more clearly, mistress is the feminine version of master, which fits the definitions of mistress, that I provided in my very first paragraph, but master is never used to describe an adulterous man. What to call a male adulterous is a point that's been pondered for generations. Here is an interesting piece I found on the matter...

English has no shortage of terms for women whose behavior is viewed as licentious, but it is difficult to come up with a list of comparable terms used of men. One researcher, Julia Penelope, stopped counting after she reached 220 such labels for women, both current and historical, but managed to locate only 20 names for promiscuous men. Murial R. Schultz found more than 500 slang terms for prostitute but could find just 65 for the male terms whoremonger and pimp. A further imbalance appears in the connotations of many of these terms. While the terms applying only to women, like tramp and s!ut, are almost always strongly negative, corresponding terms used for men, such as stud and Casanova, often carry positive associations.·Curiously, many of the negative terms used for women derive from words that once had neutral or even positive associations. For instance, the word mistress, now mainly used to refer to a woman who is involved in an extramarital sexual relationship, originally served simply as a neutral counterpart to mister or master. The term madam, while still a respectful form of address, has had sexual connotations since the early 1700s and has been used to refer to the owner of a brothel since the early 1900s.

Happy yahooing!

Answer 5

Well to be fair, sometimes married people lie and say they are not married. When that happens, say like in the Lacy/Connor situation, the other woman was duped and was not a tramp or home wrecker. If someone knows and does not care, and is only out for just sex, then tramp and cad are closer.
If a person knowingly goes after another persons man or wife with the goal to steal them away with no consideration of family involvement, they are a home wrecker.

Answer 6

Hi there

Actually just the act of having sex with some lady does not entitle her to a mistress. A mistress is just some lady who knowingly accepts a relationship with a married man not only for the sake of having sex but also developing love.

As to give a proper term for a man who sleeps with a married man maybe you could call him a playboy.

Cheers

Answer 7

I believe a woman who sleeps with a married man is called a person with low morals. The married man is called "soon-to-be-single" and also has low moral character. A man who sleeps with a married woman is a stupid idiot without morals and the woman is still a of low moral character, but might be "soon-to-be-single" too. In both situations, the parties are called STUPID.

Answer 8

A married woman that sleeps with another man is called a SLUT! And a man that sleeps with a married woman is called a WHORE MASTER! Chow.

Answer 9

Let me just say this. I hope when she ever gets married, she'll know what it's like to be cheated on.

Answer 10

A tramp, a who#e, a homewrecker, a desperate bit#h, and a worthless piece of sh#t!!! The man usually calls her a convenient booty call!!!
