Easy: This word is used mainly for females. A girl is called easy when she is ready for sex easily. So someone who is open to having sex easily, is called easy.
Tight: also called tight assed. A tight person is inhibited in sexual matters. A person who is conventional and doesn’t given in easily.

Cougar: A woman who pursues younger men
Paedophile: A person who likes to indulge in sexual activities with children.
