I have the urge to Google what constitutes a harem, but don't feel like being caught looking that up at work

Wikipedia seems to have the most easily understood definition.

Wikipedia wrote:

Harem ... refers to the sphere of women in what is usually a polygynous household and their enclosed quarters which are forbidden to men. It originated in the Near East and is typically associated in the Western world with the Ottoman Empire.

Link: Harem

According to the article, just about every paternalistic/polygynous society had some form of harem, especially for their rulers.

I forgot about that! He stole you all and fed you all chocolate! :lol:

And he stole my favourite fling and refused to give him back (your brother in fact) just for fun...

P.S. Boo - this gets much harder, considering they have to *agree* to be in your harem. :razz:

Harem = a large group of one gender, historically always female, imprisoned for the service of one male.

The harem often has male attendants who must be eunuchs (castrated) before beginning work there. Can't have the help interfering with the merchandise...

Today a harem can jokingly mean having a lot of girlfriends, it's rarely a term used by women to describe having a lot of boyfriends.

Since boo seems to be quite demanded right now my own harem would just be him.
You can arrang 20 minutes long visits(any longer than that and you get tired of hearing the same jokes over and over) through me and I only accept cash though
