Don Juan

a man who ruthlessly seduces women, concerned only with sexual conquest, after which he loses interest in them (Don Juanism). The original Don Juan was a legendary Spanish libertine, the subject of literature and Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni. In contrast to men with a Casanova complex, who adore women, a Don Juan may think of women as prey. See also satyriasis.
