eunuch - from Wiki.
A
eunuch (pronounced
/ˈjuːnək/) (greek: "Ευνούχος") is a
castrated man; usually one castrated early enough to have major hormonal consequences.
The term usually refers to those castrated (without their consent) in order to perform a specific social function, as was common historically in many societies. The earliest records for intentional castration to produce eunuchs are from the
Sumerian city of
Lagash in the twenty first century BC.
[1][2] Over the millennia since, they have performed a wide variety of functions in many different cultures such as:
courtiers or equivalent
domestics,
treble singers,
religious specialists, government officials, military commanders, and guardians of
women or
harem servants.
One of the world's most famous alleged eunuchs passed away this last year....
Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
