Truth is, the Houri can be either male or female and the 72 virgin aspect of it is actually a recent myth. There is no set limit on how many a person can have, in fact that part has not been mentioned outside from that dictator. Along with that both men and women can have these 'Hūr' in their after lives. Men get ḥawrāʾ (حَوْراء ) (feminine) and women get ʾaḥwar (أحْوَر ) (masculine).
