stud

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'a man who will easily put out' is the first definition.
'stud' can be an answer for 'a man' (stud is a kind of man). I am unsure of the remainder of the definition.

'boss' is the second definition.
(both can mean a metal decoration)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stud that I've seen before include "Large-headed piece of metal - horse-breeding establishment" , "Place of breeding" , "collection of cars" , "upright" , "Macho - stables - boss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
