One might consider 19th Century polygamy (polygyny) as "Love Harems" of a sort, but outside of that the vast history of harems have been about slavery and/or power brokerage. There have been a few debatable examples of "charismatic cult" arrangements as well.well not love harem and yes harems were slavery mostly.
In general, real harems were not very romantic.
