First I answer your allegation.
Surathul Wakia(56:17 to 23)
17" Round about them will (serve) Youths of perpetual (freshness),
18" With goblets,(shining) beakers, And cups (filled ) out of Clear- flowing fountains:
19 " No after ache will they Recieve therefrom , nor will they Suffer intoxication:
20 " And with fruits , Any that they may select :
21" And the flesh of fowls , Any that they may desire.
22 " And (thre will be) companion with beautiful , big , And lustrous eyes-
23" Like unto Pearls Well -guarded"

What do you under stand by this do you know English well . Round about them will serve youths . What the youths serve to them indicates next . cups (filled )out of clear flowing fountains . And there will be companions for them that are girls well-guarded. Not boys. Boys will serve them drinks and fruits and flesh of fowls that they desire.
