152: The Secret Sex Lives of Eunuchs | Dark History

Play
Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

Over many cultures and many years, being a Eunuch–or someone who has been castrated–has meant something different. Like In ancient China, Eunuchs were thought to be more trustworthy, so they became political advisors.  Or In Italy, they realized it stopped men’s voices from developing. So Eunuchs formed a special class of opera singers. 

Sometimes the process of becoming a Eunuch was voluntary… And other times… not so much. It was done by force or even coercion. But where did these traditions start? 

Well my friends, today, we’re talking about the dark history of … EUNUCHS.

I appreciate you coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
