@npaulien in Spain it is used as an adjective, not really as a noun. Maybe in Latin America it can mean asshole but I am not sure.
"Puta" in feminine is used as a noun and it means "bitch".

in some countries in Latin America, at least Uruguay and Argentina If you say puto to an homosexual it would mean gay, but you have to be close to them otherwise it would sound homophobic. for example, my sister is homosexual and I call her friends putos just because i don't mean it in an offensive way and I feel close to them, they know I have nothing against them (some people use it to insult gays tho)
puto means that and also f*cker or as*hole
puta, on the other hand, means b*tch
as an adjective you can use it just like "f*ucking smth" (it would depend on the object you're referring to whether you use "puto" or "puta)
