The name for the little boys that devout Muslim men get in paradise are ghilman (sometimes spelled gilman), the word is plural. This term was used in a secular sense to describe slaves captured as small boys. The Koran mentions them (apparently 8 times) as sort of cherubs "like scattered pearls". They exist in paradise to "serve" the Muslim man - but there are no details on exactly what that entails. There is some slight evidence that this might include some (but not necessarily all) forms of sexual servicing. Maybe their incipient masculinity enables them to provide certain amusements that 70 dewey-eyed ignorant virgins are incapable of.
