...wants to put his "wood" in everything? What's a good way to deter my druid from wanting to shag every female NPC that walks along?
I've tried making them old, bitter, gossipy butter-churning maids. Didn't work.
I've tried pretty much saying "This woman was severely wounded in the fight you just had. You'd have to heal her". Didn't deter him.

Roll Endurance vs disease. Was fun when it happened at our table. Admittedly we're kinda juvenile that way  Centauri's suggestion is probably best, though.

Just say "No, you don't," and move on.
If he insists, ask him what part of "no" he didn't understand and ignore his response.
If he continues to argue, sustain free.
If he causes a scene, invite him to drop it immediately or leave immediately.
If he leaves, continue playing without him.
If he asks to play again, insist that he apologize and make it clear that further behavior like that will not be tolerated, with the alternative being that he's out for good.
When I DM I don't allow sociopaths or the hopelessly immature to play in my games and that's my final answer. In cases like yours, saying "no, you don't," or "yeah, that doesn't happen," and moving on has worked well for me for the past thirty years. We have a lot of laughs in my games but if it moves into creepy territory I put the hammer down.
OD&D, 1E and 2E challenged the player.
3E challenged the character, not the player.
Now 4E takes it a step further by challenging a GROUP OF PLAYERS to work together as a TEAM.
That's why I love 4E.

Agreed with Centauri. You explain unacceptable behaviour out of game. If he continues, move on to Siegfried's method.

It would be okay in my game within reason and in context.
If it's simply to disrupt the game, then talk to the player out of game as has been mentioned. If you yourself are a female, that's probably why he's doing these things in-game (projection).

This. And ONLY this.
Here are the PHB essentia, in my opinion: - Three Basic Rules (p 11)
- Power Types and Usage (p 54)
- Skills (p178-179)
- Feats (p 192)
- Rest and Recovery (p 263)
- All of Chapter 9 [Combat] (p 264-295)
A player needs to read the sections for building his or her character -- race, class, powers, feats, equipment, etc. But those are PC-specific. The above list is for everyone, regardless of the race or class or build or concept they are playing.

I'm going to bloody well hope not, that'd be awkward.
Yeah, I wouldn't have too much of a problem with it if it weren't for the fact that I'm the female DM who is also dating the ranger while the druid tries to hit on women that I have to RP.
I've also got a bit of personal bias to the matter - I don't see why he'd want to hit on the fictional peasant when we've got two other single ladies in the group. Even though one is my sister and the other is likely friend-carded.

Yeah, have a talk with the whole table present about the kind of game you want to run. I don't recommend being alone with this guy.
