Saed News: Since the person assigned to care for the royal harem was actually the head and supervisor of the harem, he was called a harem eunuch. However, over time, kings—worried about protecting the honor of their household and maintaining the security of their harems—used castrated men to supervise their harems.
According to SAEDNEWS, quoting Roozito, a eunuch referred to boys who were castrated in childhood or adolescence. In those times, some boys between the ages of seven and ten were castrated in early adolescence, and after castration they were called eunuchs, castrates, or agha. Their appearance became more feminine, and their age could not be easily distinguished from their appearance. These eunuchs included both enslaved Africans and Caucasian whites. Sometimes criminals who had committed sexual assault were also castrated. If they survived after castration, life could become comfortable for them, because at that time having a white eunuch was considered a luxury element in the court.
If you are wondering how a man becomes a eunuch, you should know that in childhood the testicles of these adolescent boys were removed from the scrotum or torn out, and as a result secondary sexual characteristics such as beard and mustache growth, deepening of the voice, and increase in muscle mass did not occur in them. In some cases, the entire genital system, including the testicles and penis, was cut off, which greatly increased the risk of death. Also, after becoming eunuchs, these men no longer had sexual ability or the capacity for sexual relations. In the past, there were many workshops and tools for castration, and many people died during the process.
