Cabana boys, pool boys, tennis pros, ski instructors, the guy who fixes the cable, ... :) As a serious answer, the only word I can think of would be "Catamite", but that would be a young man in service to another man, not a woman.

I just thought of another answer to this question- among social insects (bees, wasps, ants, etc), they are called "drones".

Concubines are only slaves if the arrangement is not voluntary, which was, (and maybe somewhere still is) not always the case. Certainly a concubine, whether voluntary nor not, was and is of a lower social status than the man. The Anti Slavery Society defines 'Servile Concubinage' as - "Traditional servile concubinage takes different forms, but usually involves either the selling of a girl-child or a young woman by her parents or clan into concubinage, or the transfer of a woman as property to another man on the death of her husband." So far as I can discover, there isn't one word which can be used in the sense your question implies. I'm not surprised, as I'm not aware of the use of men in this way in any society anywhere in history. The closest I can find is 'paramour', but that only refers to 'a woman's lover', and lacks the social context.
