What if you had 14 boyfriends...would it be possible then?


Sure! Are you volunteering? I guess I'd better pick from the members of this forum if I want to get started...

I'm too busy building my own harem to belong to yours. But thanks for your kind consideration.


New competition: whose "language harem" features the widest-ranging variety of native speakers? ;) I can see this getting dangerous...

Why not combine the harems? Have a great big collective where everyone speaks fluently 14 languages :-D

Does it have to be a contemporary harem, or can we count old loves? As a married woman, the here-and-now approach to 14 boyfriends might meet a tad of opposition from my otherwise understanding husband.

Of course we can count old loves! Hmm, this could actually get fun. I'm afraid my harem is rather sparsely populated at this point in life – I've only got English and German so far.
