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.
