What was the purpose of a eunuch? Why did men castrate themselves

Probably some bullshit with like

maybe they don't have kids/heirs or shit like that so they don't plot to take power for them and their offspring?

also beta oldnumales are less likely to start shit than people with actual testosterone going through their bodies

Effects testosterone.

Probably make good advisors. None of the rage and desire to give then dick of a man but still not a stupid dumb woman.

they sing better

>Why did men castrate themselves in the past?
I don't think that anyone ever castrated themselves, that sounds weird and almost impossible.

>Do eunuchs still exist or have they been replaced by the more elaborate tranny?
eunuchs and trannies have nothing to do with each other you retarded fuck

>>72171263
so they don't fuck the concubines of the king

Only good answer itt. Eunuchs were in charge of protecting women, without the danger of raping them or seducing them.

Castrati were a different story and were castrated for obvious reasons.

Depending on the culture
In western world, they were choir singers, because if you cut the nuts before puberty, the voice won't become deep.

In China, they were very powerful burocrats/advisors and run the empire. The emperor was busy fucking concubines/wives all day long and was basically their puppet.

In the Orient, they castrated almost all of their slaves as well as servants in harems. Sometimes they also acted as advisors.

If trannies existed back then and weren't stoned to death would male-to-females have lesser rights than eunuchs?

>>72171263
1 they were always servants first

2 they were forced to mostly as a punishment

3 eunuchs are basically extinct as a practice and it was not a sexual gratification thing like "gender", eunuch is pretty much synonymous with slavery, the labor thing, except they worked in the palace

they had their balls cut off so
1 they can't impregnate the harem
2 they are suppose to lose some of their ambition
(not really since all they did was amass wealth instead)

>>72171724

Are Jap chicks stupid too?

>>72181340
Is the reason why they amass wealth due to them not being distracted by matters of the flesh?

>>72171263
they took care over harems
you got a big ass male with no balls to fuck your women
9/10 would try

harem lords

How can they fuck without a sex drive?

Eunuchs guarded harems so no dick for them. also castrati singers were highly valued so little boys would often be castrated and trained. Popes loved them. The usual excuse was "he was kicked by a horse".

What was the purpose of a eunuch?
To completely remove a man of any purpose and thus power over his life
Why did men castrate themselves in the past?
They probably didn't unless they were either mentally ill or part of strange cults or societies
Do eunuchs still exist or have they been replaced by the more elaborate tranny?
They still exist, probably more so than ever before
