Male cats do not go into heat like a female; they do however have an extremely high drive to reproduce.  They can smell a fertile female from a good distance.  How old is your cat?  You need to have your kitty neutered ASAP.  Not only for your peace; but for his health.  The sooner you can the better. But it does take time for the hormones in their systems to calm down so he might not quit the meowing right away.  Even as an indoor only cat; it will be in his nature to seek out a female.  Some will go to great lengths to get out as well. 

This article has some useful information for you: http://www.thecatsite.com/a/spay-and-neuter-your-cats

Also; if you give your cat attention (even negative) for this behavior it may encourage it to continue.  But the first step is really to neuter; otherwise instinct will push them to do this more.
