"Is there a male equivalent to a harem?" Topic

And if so, what's it called?

A biker bar

or any bar, just depends on the type of male you are looking for. (yuppie, construction worker, biker, etc)

I find that a worrying post coming straight after "Weavers to invade the UK" – what exactly are you planning on *doing* over here…?

Certainly not collect guys with cool accents. Nope, that's not my plan at all. ;)

Actually, it's a thing I'd wondered about last week, and Michael & I couldn't satisfactorily resolve the question, so I thought I'd ask here. There's words for darned near everything else; surely there's a word for this!

Cool accents! I thought you said you were going to Birmingham?

"reverse harem"

A baseball game.

You can Google "male harem", but don't blame me for what you find.

I already did, John, with appropriate filters.

So far, 'stable' seems to be the winning entry.

Probably a "scarum", Neo. If not, it should be labeled as such for obvious reasons.

Stable seesm to fit.

H'Con is another option

What did they call it in Stargate the Movie?

I think Catherine The Great had 2: the Guard Grenadiers & the Royal Stable.

Polyandry is the term for multiple husbands

Since it comes from a word that simply means "forbidden place" I see no more reason why there should be a separate word to differentiate m'lady's harem from m'lord's than there should be a separate word for m'lady's bathroom.

But what does one do about guards?

Depends on whether you want to keep other ladies out, or the men *in*.

I hate to interrupt the musings with a serious answer, but the turkish word selamlik describes the portion of a Turkish palace or house reserved for men, so not quite a male harem, posssibly the closest word for one.

A Gaming Convention.

Blue Bishonen Ghetto?

Perhaps make up a word. Herem? He'rem?

Or adapt an existing one. Seminary?

Tailhook?

Just me, baby. Grrrrr.

Cockpit?
