The closest you get is either a gigolo or sex slave, but there is no truly equivalency

I would say 'kept man' would be slightly closer than 'gigolo,' although it's an awkward phrase. It implies the same ownership/power structure as exists between a concubine and her (generally rich patrician) partner, and yet does not imply slavery, as 'concubine' does not. A gigolo would have a greater degree of autonomy, I think. There's certainly room for disagreement, though.

In Roman times, concubinus was the title of a young male who was chosen by his master as a bedmate.
