Duck + Duck = Double Duck

I stumbled upon this article and even though it may not particularly apply to the way people use language that deals with sexuality, this talks about language that women may use while being sexual being and looking for a man to meet/date/hook up with, so in my opinion this counts.
What I found to be interesting is what putting these labels on men seems a bit degrading to them because they are put into categories based almost solely on their physical appearance. We have heard terms like "grenade" be used to refer to women and have heard of the "wing-man/woman" approach, so perhaps these terms will one day be included in female vocabulary when discussing men.
