There's a quote I saw years ago by a Sufi poet, I think it may have been Rumi, when a woman asked him if there would be the equivalent of houris in Paradise for women. He said something like "Yes, you'd have to run to evade them!" I wish I could find it now. Anyway, the point is that Paradise is not like this world - it is not a place of deprivation, where you say "I wish I had this, or that". To think of it in those terms is quite childish, really. It is enough to know that it is the place of ultimate happiness, and that this happiness has many forms, some of which have their shadows in this worldly life, and others of which do not. The descriptions of it are only keys, and not photographs, which is why the hadith says "Therein is that which no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor human heart imagined."
