Content: China has a particularly long history of eunuchs dating back thousands of years, with the tradition quite widespread and not at all unusual. Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, India and Burma all have long histories of eunuchs in royal courts. Why were Eunuchs castrated? Eunuchs were castrated for several reasons. One reason was punishment, most often relaxed to sexual acts that were considered crimes at the time, like homosexuality and sex outside of marriage. Another reason eunuchs were castrated was more utilitarian. Wanting to use them as bedroom guards for the elite in ancient times, it was thought that removing the testes would remove the threat of sexual interactions with those they were guarding. Modern sexual health experts point out however that the castration may take away sexual urges and the ability to have sex, but it does not make a person asexual. Eunuchs were also used as guards and political aids, gaining political power in these roles. One of the reasons eunuchs were castrated and placed in these highly sensitive political roles was because they were perceived to be no threat to the powers that be, since they could not reproduce, have sons, that could assert authority.
