What is the male version of the word wench?

The male version of the Word "wench" doesn't have a direct equivalent, as "wench" historically referred to a young woman or a female servant, often with a derogatory connotation. However, terms like "knave" or "gallant" could be seen as male counterparts in certain contexts, though they carry different connotations. Generally, "wench" has been more associated with women, and there isn't a widely recognized male counterpart that conveys the same meaning.
