It's made even funnier with the addition that one of them is his sister.
I predict a potion of gender swapping in your future.

that's not uncommon in harem animes,

Why is everybody assuming there is going to be any kind of romantic/sexual tension/escapades, or that it's even desired by anybody involved?
It's the OP who put up this thread as a distress call, so you should ask HIM.

I think this thread needs a link to the most relevant rules thread.
Anyway, shouldn't be a problem. One man, eight women, so we know who Roger the Cabin Boy is...

I don't see any problems with this, women are people too, so why does it matter than the other 7.. or 6 now? people are women. They could easily sate themselves with other crew mates, people from other ships, and themselves if you're talking about sexually, and not all women care for romantic shit.. and who says they aren't lesbian and only want the other women playing..
OP is making this more a problem than it is i think.

So, the PCs are 8 Women, and the Players are 5 of undetermined gender?

Sounds like my Sword art game party:
All female, played by all females, sometimes with a male npc.
A lot of jokes, implied lesbianism, but no harem.
Their actions did help to create other harem parties though. Thanks to adventurer's guild they founded (mostly with women-adventurers as the main members), the men involved would often be paired with the otherwise female parties. This did become a bit noteworthy, with many romances (and +4 to sexual tension across the guild).

Okay, character lineup is,
An NPC Female Human Samurai
An NPC Female Dwarf Rogue
An NPC Female Ifrit Sorcerer
An NPC Female Naga Ninja
A PC Female Human Oracle
A PC Female Ratfolk Monk
A PC Female Teifling ??? (Player hasn't revealed their class)
A PC Female Gillman Rogue (currently in the belly of a giant fish)
And myself, a PC Male Dhampir(looks half-elf) Warblade/Swordsage
The GM is a guy, as for players, three of us are guys, two are girls
As for if this could be an issue.....
In our little group, we're all major Anime fans, so sexual encounters, awkward positions/situations, and sexual escapades in character are VERY common place, sometimes embarrassingly so. :/
Honestly though, the sexcapades aren't the issue, I'm mostly worried about us falling into a Harem campaign were all the girls start fighting. That'd be, just a little awkward.

I don't think the harem idea is exactly counteracted by the mix of exotic races. XD
I suggest you just be frank. Put it on the table and say "if we're going to do this, I want to know now that we aren't going to make it awkward."
Or, alternately, if the characters are OK with polygamy(nothing says they can't be. Maybe you can decide it's normal where they're from) "ladies, there is plenty of me to go around."
I mean, if this could be an issue, just have the back story make it a nonissue.

Why does additional female PCs mean the game will suddenly shift to "sexy adventures"?
That is just as likely to happen with a group of any ratio of male/female adventurers.
Hell, you could all be male Spartan soldiers, and the hot and heavy nights would be beyond number.
Dude! You made me spit my soda everywhere!!!!

The comment about falling into a harem campaign was a joke...

The most epic fighting force to have ever existed was composed entirely of homosexual male couples. They were chosen specifically because they were both highly skilled, and highly gay, and were encouraged to love each other; and that bond gave them a morale edge that just refused to break, even when they were eventually slain to the last without surrender; and the commander of their enemy army wept at their death after their display of valor and unity, and demanded that no ill be said of them.
So...yeah! :D

Now I'm imagining the party running up against a group of these guys.
GM: Make a Knowledge Local checkPlayer: Rolls high enough
GM: Yeah these guys are Spartans, very elite, you also know that they're almost all gay.
Player: HA!!! Gay guys can't fight for crud!!
*one very short combat later*
GM: *snickering*
Player: .............

Actually, I'm talking about the Sacred Band of Thebes, who actually defeated the spartans and was a military force composed of 300 men, or more appropriately, 150 gay couples, with older/younger pairing being the standard. Yep, they crushed the Spartans.
And being gay was part of the strategy. It was their love that ensured that they wouldn't break and abandon their fellows. It was their fighting to protect their love. It was their fighting to show off to their love. They fought as a lover would for their other.
As a fun exercise, the next time you hear someone talking about gay marriage rights, just think that gay couples whipped the snot out of the guys Master Chief is named after. ^_^
Do we REALLY wish to tempt their wrath!? ಠ_ಠ

I remember in Spoony's Counter Monkey: Theives City videos, there was a group of horsemen in the setting that were like that. Gay couples that were all like, 10th level mounted fighters. *shudder*
