TWoP 10: Sluttiest Male TV Characters

TWoP 10: Sluttiest Male TV Characters

Apparently TV shows with risque sexual situations encourage teens to have sex and lead to a lot of pregnancy. Really? The hot promiscuous characters are half the reason we watch most of these TV shows. Oh well. So here's our list celebrating the smuttiest fellas on TV, who really just enjoy indulging their carnal desires. We kinda love 'em for it, but if you are trying to be a responsible parent or whatever, don't let your babies grow up to date these guys.

1. Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother)
No guy tries harder, or succeeds more, in creating wild schemes to get women into bed. His women are almost always young, always for one night engagements only, but not always only one at a time. The well-dressed consummate bachelor is always on the prowl for his next conquest and will stop at nothing, even shunning his one true love, for a chance to get laid. Anyone who puts as much thought into sex as Barney (Lemon Law, Crazy/Hot Scale) immediately goes to the top of our list.

2. Mark Sloane (Grey's Anatomy)
He coined his way of pleasuring a woman, "The Sloane Method." Not only does this womanizer want to get with anything in a skirt (including his best friend's wife) he's got an ego about his prowess that fills the entirety of an on-call room at Seattle Grace. In a hospital filled with people making out in elevators and doffing their clothing at any turn, he's by far the least picky and the one most often called on to show off his method. He asks few questions when women throw themselves at him, which isn't romantic, but still kinda works.

3. Jason Stackhouse (True Blood)
Only on HBO could a character get away with being naked as much as Jason Stackhouse. The sweet (but not-so-smart) Southern boy is a known lover of women and drugs, and is even happier when they are merged together. It takes a special kinda trampy guy to have sex while covered in smelly garbage. The only thing that ever slows him down are V-induced issues with his beloved and self-worshiped penis, and even that can't keep him down for long.

4. Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl)
Since the aforementioned study pointed to the reckless sexual situations on Gossip Girl specifically, we presume that they were referring to the amazing scarf-clad hotness that is Chuck Bass. He can't help it, hiring hookers is the thing to do when you are young, attractive and rolling in piles of money. And the kind you have to import? They are the best.

5. Christian Troy (Nip/Tuck)
We often wonder if Christian Troy moved to LA because he'd slept with every woman in Miami. If not all of them, it had to have been pretty damned close. He's had countless affairs, engaged in many wild and unmentionable sexual acts, and has even been an actual prostitute for a time. Hell, he even had sex with Rosie O'Donnell... for cash. He'll do anything, that one.

6. Don Draper (Mad Men)
Don Draper never met a pretty woman he didn't want to have sex with, who cares about that shiny little gold ring on his finger. This dashing ad man knows how to sell himself, and instead of plying women with words of seduction, he just sports an intense glare to get ladies to invite them back their hotel rooms or apartments for dalliances.

7. Cooper Freedman (Private Practice)
Cooper likes his sex a little bit on the kinky side... not that there's anything wrong with that. He often likes it when he finds his conquests on the internet. Again, fine and dandy... though maybe we wouldn't trust this pediatrician with our kids if we found out about his proclivities for rubber.

8. Bill Henrickson (Big Love)
Dude has three wives and seven children. And he even considered a fourth wife. He really gets around. It may be with the same women, but he certainly doesn't know how to keep it in his pants at all.

9. Daniel (Ugly Betty)
He's the editor of a fashion magazine, so of course his taste runs to drop dead gorgeous models. Predictable. And even more predictably this ho can't remember most of them after their one night flings, even if they result in offspring (or not). He may aspire to settle down and have kids, but if a leggy lady walked by, we've got no doubt he'd change his mind.

10. Dean (Supernatural)
Much like a sailor, this love 'em and leave 'em demon hunter has a girl in practically every port (or small town) across the United States. At least the ones that the boys have visited. Not that we hear anyone really complaining about it... except maybe his brother Sam.

(Dis)honorable mentions:
Charlie Harper (Two and a Half Men)
He loves the ladies and loves his freewheelin' bachelor ways, but he occasionally has some medium-term relationships (as opposed to the one-night stands of the majority of our slutty guys) so he gets a bit of credit for that.
Alex Karev (Grey's Anatomy)
He's like Marc Sloane in training. Plus, he is responsible for spreading an STD around the hospital. But he's also one to try to find true love, which makes him slightly less whoreish than the Sloane. Though we wouldn't be surprised in a few years if this resident has become an attending touting the Karev method.

Not sure I agree with the characterization of Don Draper. Yeah, he cheats on his wife, but it's never as simple as "There's a pretty girl, I must have sex with her." We've actually seen him reject a number of women, which most of those other guys would never do.

If we're going to bring up Dan Feilding, we also need to bring up Sam Malone. I think the tally is close, but Sam traveled the country when he was on the Sox, so that might give him an edge

I was going to chime in with my support for Captain Jack, as well. Alien, human, man, woman, whatever. He even had a shockingly intimate moment with ANOTHER Captain Jack Harkness.
Interesting that on the list of slutty fellas, you managed to name about 7 of my favorite men on TV. What does that say about me?

So who would be on the female flip-side of this?
Bella from my dearly departed the Ex List comes to mind. After someone had me watch the Real World/Road Rules challenge reunion on Tuesday, any of those girls would work.

Christian Troy should really be higher than Jason Stackhouse. Christian was a gigolo for a while for goodness sakes...

I have to agree that Don isn't really a slut. Maybe Roger Sterling is, though. He would if he could.

Captain Jack should be very close to the top if not above Barney Stinson.

You know, for not being a manwhore, George from Grey's has really slept around.

I think I'd have to add Vincent Chase from Entourage to the list. Yes, he's had a couple of brief relationships, but he gets some in almost every episode--sometimes with more than one girl at a time--and has said that he didn't want to be anyone's first or last. And there was that episode where he had Eric drive him from one girl's house to the next so he could spread the love all in one day.

And if we're going way back in time--Dr. Ross on ER, before he fell in love with Nurse Hathaway. Hell, even after he did.

Oh, and on the female side, Samantha Jones from Sex and the City, of course. I mean, they all did their share of sleeping around, but Sam's the only one who really wasn't looking for a relationship out of it.

And Lynn from Girlfriends. There's a girl who slept with any guy within a ten-block radius.

I don't know if I'm happy or sad that Dean Winchester (#10) is on the list. Sure, his eyes do tend to wander and his brother, Sammy, does tend to roll his eyes and sigh when Dean gets distracted by the fairer sex. And I have to admit that that happens a lot. Okay, Dean, go for it. It's probably a nice distraction from all the demon-killing you and your brother get tangled up in. Happy Hunting!

I might be wrong but I think people like Sam Malone aren't on the list because the list was made up of current characters. Regardless, Jack (Alec Baldwin) on 30 Rock gets around to. Next week Jennifer Aniston.

Captain Jack Harkness should probably be his own catagory as he plays both sides of the field.

And what about George from Grey's? He's not all about being a slut, but he sure has gotten around.

I feel like if there's a character on Gossip Girl that deserves the term sluttiest male it's actually Nate more than Chuck. Sure Chuck has a certain persona, but he's been low on the random hookups lately, whereas Nate has actually whored himself out and he's now been with every female (and probably every male) character on the show.

Everyone has been saying Capt Jack, but on the show, we've only seen him with one person. Yeah he talks a big game but onscreen we ain't seeing it.
Seems he likes what he's got going with Ianto.

As others say: Jack Harkness? If you can have sex with it, he will. And while we're on the subject of Torchwood, what about the (now sadly deceased) Dr Owen Harper. Anyone who uses alien aphrodisiac to engineer a threesome deserves a place on the list, especially since it was in the first episode.

I think Tim Riggins and Gaius Baltar have gotten more women than some of those top guys. Most of them don't get it as much as talk about it.

Also, I think they don't recap Torchwood for the same reason they no longer recap Doctor Who: By the time it airs in the US, the BitTorrent cattle drive has already downloaded it.

Captain Jack does have the tendency to flirt with anything that walks (except for animals, John does that). But we've only seen him with Ianto and the knowledge that him and John were a think.

Now with Owen there was that three-some in the first episode, Gwen, Suzie. I'm just naming the ones we know of.

Bill Henrickson is a polygamist who's part of the uber-fundamentalist Church of the Latter-Day Saints. It's believed that plural marriage is ordained by God. He doesn't count.

What is even better about Sloane is his aversion to reform. Yet he is a resource who is willing to share, i.e., instructing Torres vis-a-vis making love to a woman.

Karev is just hot. Period.

The Private Practice/Ugly Betty guys may be slatternly, but they are lacking in style and substance. Fie on them.

I agree, Brian Kinney would be near the top of the list if past TV characters were included. But the main question is: where the f is Captain Jack. Even if he's now in a sort of serious relationship, he still flirts with anything he sees, and even his relationship with Ianto is filled with constant inventive sex (can anyone forget the "naked hide-and-seek"?). For heaven's sake, on Doctor Who, he even felt up a robot! Not only that, but the series has seemed to establish that in the future, everyone is frigging slut. After all, Captain John flirted with just plain anything with a pulse, and even thought a passing dog was hot!

I know the show has been over for some time, but how could you forget Joey Tribbiani? C'mon, he's the original horndog.

"How you doin'?"

"I think I've slept with all the women in New-York and am now going for the second round."

"Once I just looked at a bra and it popped open."

And then in current television, there is Denny Crane.

Lori: If a man was running around trying to schtip everything he could, we wouldn't say that he had a disease we would just call him….....
Denny(entering): Denny Crane.
Shirley: Exactly.

"Hello. If you are a client, I'll get you off. If not, the offer still stands."

“Hell, if I had a nickel for every woman I’d promise to marry in exchange for sex…actually I do.”

“I promise you. Once I enter into an exclusive relationship, I sleep with very few people.”

Re: Dean Winchester

The guy goes all over the country saving civilians from supernatural creatures. As he once said to his brother, Sam, "What's the point of doing what we do if you can't have a little nookie once in a while?" And as a cougar old enough to be his mother, I would gladly be amongst those nookie conquests!

Gotta add my support for Dr. Baltar. The guy doesn't even need the woman to be there to sleep with her, he gets on-screen threesomes, and he's slept with a minimum of five female characters with speaking roles on screen (not to mention interns and the very possibility of a male character), gets caught publicly masturbating, AND currently lives in a harem. Not sure what else you have to do to be reigning king of the male sluts!

I have to add my voice to those shocked at Baltar's omission. His exploits should be legendary by this stage. And it has to be said again, he has a harem for goodness sake. It's even been called his own personal 'nymph squad' by other characters on the show.

Is it wrong that these characters are often my favorites on the show?
Mark Sloan is my fave on grey's, he's so freakin' hot & sexy & just... a manwhore who is awesome.
Chuck is so... badass sexy.
Christian Troy... well, his sex scenes are freakin HOT! i love him hahaha.
& Cooper... he has kinky internet sex with hot people, and kinky sex with his gf, what's not to love? He was almost a dad... ooh how would that have turned out? LOL
I would love to have any of these men, not for a relationship (unless they were totally committed) but still... they are so HOT!

Omissions from current shows: Tim Riggins, Captain Jack Harkness, Gaius Baltar, Henry VII

Omissions from past shows: James T. Kirk (forget a girl in every port, how about one on every planet) and Patrick Maitland (and Jr. Patrick).

I'd love to see you do a list of the least promiscuous men on television, like MacGyver.
