hou·ri (h¢r¹ê, h¡¹rê) noun
plural hou·ris
1.	A voluptuous, alluring woman.
2.	One of the beautiful virgins of the Koranic paradise.
[French, from Persian húrì, from Arabic húr, pl. of haurâ’, dark-eyed
woman.]

You spelled houris wrong.  There's no "e".

BTW, are there any male versions of this?  I don't want a virgin, though.
