Not to further the hijack of this thread, but...
Actually, in my opinion, there's not. A high number of partners seems like it's something accepted by the same sex, but rejected by the opposite sex. In other words, a guy's friends won't be upset if he's had a lot of partners, but a woman who gets involved with him would be more likely to find a problem with it. Same thing the other way around; a girl's friends will (most likely) be more accepting of how many partners she has than her next potential partner.
Also - so if a woman calls a man a man-whore or something along those lines, she's being insecure as well, right? There are plenty of times I've heard girls discourage their friends from dating guys because "he gets around" or "he's been with everybody."
I'm not judging it either way - to each their own.
