    A concubine is a single female person who cohabits (lives with) a male, is sexually involved with a male, but not married.

    Its a singular noun. Spec Ops man is not using the term correctly.

    Harem is basically when you have either multiple wives, concubines, or mixture of both.

    It would have at least made grammatical sense if he’d said that.

    Basically, what Mr Spec Ops is attempting to describe is an isekai harem anime show, where the twist is its a gay bear and a bunch of femboy twinks.

      The Threadiverse definitely needs an analog to Reddit’s /r/BrandNewSentence.

        You are correct, I did not know that the same term is used for males as well.

        Male concubines seem to be pretty rare and exceptional historically, compared to female concubines, excepting Rome, Greece and the Ottoman Empire.
