No equivalent male version exists for women (although there are indications in Islamic literature of cup-bearer boys for the homosexual enjoyment of men)<ref>[Do academics think there is a sexual connotation to this verse in Quran (76:19)? https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicQuran/comments/xjgcsw/do_academics_think_there_is_a_sexual_connotation/].{{Quote|{{Quran|56|22}}|And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,}}{{Quote|{{Quran|78|33}}|and maidens with swelling breasts, like of age,}}</ref>

-{{Quote|{{Quran|5|22-24}}|They said, "O Musa! Indeed, in it (are) people (of) tyrannical strength and indeed, we never will enter it until they leave from it, and if they leave [from] it then certainly we (will) enter (it)." Then out spake two of those who feared (their Lord, men) unto whom Allah had been gracious: Enter in upon them by the gate, for if ye enter by it, lo! ye will be victorious. So put your trust (in Allah) if ye are indeed believers. They said: O, Moses! We will never enter (the land) while they are in it. So go thou and thy Lord and fight! We will sit here.”}}According to many prominent tafsirs these powerful people ''(qawman jabbārīna)'' are giants.<ref>E.g. Tafsir Al-Jalalayn on [https://quranx.com/Tafsir/Jalal/5.22 ''Verse 5:22''] and ''[https://quranx.com/tafsirs/5.22 others].''</ref> There is no evidence that these existed.
