there isn’t one.  at least not one that is equivalent.  names like “manwhore” hold nowhere near the same amount of disgust, degradation, or social consequences.  slut shame is sexism.

Note also that there’s no equivalent female version of stud - that is, a positive term for a woman who has a lot of sexual partners and/or plays the field. Back in high school, an ex and his friends wanted to compliment me for having hooked up with a few different people - a noteworthy feat in their books - and settled on calling me a maniser (instead of womaniser) because they literally had no access to an existing, complimentary term.
