We already had "gigolo". A similar meaning it attached to cicisbeo, a lover of married women, at least when he prefers to let the woman pick up the tab. To cross thread a moment, I overheard my mother use a euphemism for this, when she said an AC-DC young bachelor was Mrs. So-and-So's "accommodator".

it is speculated, that the famous Venus di Milo, was a sculpture of a woman, holding a drop spindle and spinning.

And that ain't no coon dog!

She goes by another name (or two) and has both arms. At least, that's what I heard.

I was told that the Venus de Milo was an extreme example of the ill effects of chewing the fingernails.

comely young men are exploited by middle-aged panthers who boast about their conquests

Interesting -- I've only ever heard the term cougars -- oh, well, whatever - as long as it's catty?
And it seems to be a relative term. A friend told me that his 18-year-old nephew complained about all the cougars at the local hangout. When asked how old they were, he said 25 or so!
