The "other woman" in a case of adultery is sometimes call the "mistress". The corresponding term for a male who becomes involved with a married woman was historically co-respondent, used in connection with lawsuits and divorces. Technically, the term could apply to either gender, but between 1857 and 1930, it was applied only to men.

Other terms used are equivalent to womanizer : philanderer, cad, ladies' man, rake, or gigolo (although this is technically equivalent to a male prostitute).
