Surely you've heard or read somewhere about the eunuchs .In fact, one of the key characters in the famous series Game of Thrones is, of course, a eunuch.
But what is it about? It is the total or partial removal of the male genitals, a process called emasculation or evisceracion .It is partial when the testicles are removed or disabled (through strokes!) or when only the penis is cut, and it is total when the mutilation is complete: penis and testicles.Keep reading and you find out.
Did you know that there are still eunuchs today?
One of our human characteristics is the capacity for cruelty , towards our own species and towards everything else.From the Neolithic, at least 5,000 years before Christ, among the incipient agricultural societies of the “growing fertil ”it was customary to castrate the animals, once it was discovered that this procedure reduced their bravery and controlled their reproduction.The area in question covers the rivers Jordan, Nile, Tigris and Euphrates, area occupied by countries such as Egypt, Israel, Palestine , Iraq or Syria.
As they were so witty, someone came up with that the same thing could happen with the slaves: diminish their sexual impulse and soften the character.If a new figure was born, the “third sex”.
The fact of that over time the eunuchs acquired a privileged status does not detract from the barbarism that castration means; not even that some men chose it voluntarily.
In imperial China, for example, many men underwent this terrible practice in order to access jobs at the emperor's court.In both China and India, or in the Arab caliphates, eunuchs were in high demand to care for harems (the reason is logical), but they were also used as bodyguards.
The total eunuch was better treated than the partial , and if they cut his tongue he could be considered a rich man.If you don't feel too much apprehension, we tell you how it was done: as you will remember, at that time the anesthesia had not been discovered, so any surgical intervention should be swift for obvious reasons The barber-surgeon wraps the base of the penis and the testicles forced tented with a bandage, and with a curved and very sharp knife, cut the genitals in a certain way .Only the urinary tract was visible, which was also cut flush with the pubis so that it could urinate, and the spermatic duct was retracted and inserted into the meat.
The men who read this can imagine the indescribable pain felt by the castrate, which often lost its meaning.Then the barber applied oils and baths from salts, and placed a small cradle of metal (tin or lead) in the hole of the urethra.The recovery process, as you can imagine, was very painful and slow, dotted with the dangers of very probable infections.
