Yes. A eunuch is a person who has been castrated.
Eunuchs do not have breasts like females. Eunuchs are typically males who have been castrated, resulting in the removal of their testicles but not their chest tissue. The development of breasts in females is due to hormones like estrogen, which eunuchs may lack after being castrated.
Eunuchs are typically palace attendants who were castrated to prevent them from sleeping with the King's wives.
No, eunuchs are typically individuals who have been castrated and therefore cannot become pregnant as they do not have functioning reproductive organs.
That is the correct spelling of "eunuch" (a castrated male person). Eunuchs were often used to guard harems in historic times.
Eunuchs are individuals who have been castrated, typically through surgical or chemical means. This process involves the removal of the testes, resulting in the loss of reproductive capability. Historically, eunuchs were often created to serve specific roles in society, such as guardians of women in harems or governmental positions.
No. A gay man is someone who is sexually attracted to other men. A eunuch is a castrated man (who may be gay or straight).
no NO is not correct in some circumstances. Eunuchs on HRT function almost as well as un castrated males. The ejaculate is clear ( as it contains no spermatozoa). Most of the ejaculate in all men comes from the prostate gland anyway.
Castration means that the male has had his testicles removed, and is therefore neutered. A castrated male human is called a eunuch. A male singer who was castrated as a boy in order to keep his voice from changing is called a castrato.
Usually a person described as a "eunuch" is someone who has been deliberately castrated - ie. they are not born, they are made. The castration usually takes place at a young age. There are a variety of birth defects that may leave a baby boy born without testicles or with testicles that are damaged or otherwise abnormal. These people are generally not considered to be eunuchs. Eunuchs (deliberately castrated males) have played important roles in history. The Chinese, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and other Empires all used them as high-ranking servants and advisors. Some eunuchs achieved very senior roles in the bureaucracy. The reason for this special trust of eunuchs is because they were unable to father children, and thus they did not have as much incentive to behave corruptly or to try and overthrow rulers in order to gain lands or positions to pass onto their children. In Europe, children were sometimes castrated so that they would maintain a high-pitched singing voice and a greater vocal range - these are known as "castrati".
Eunuchs were tall due to early castration before puberty. The closure of the epiphyses or bone growth plates are due to the hormone estrogen. In males estrogen is produced by chemically altering the hormone testosterone. Since the Eunuchs were castrated before puberty, they were not producing testosterone and thus had low levels of estrogen. This low level of estrogen meant that the growth plates would not close as early leading to tall growth patterns.
Eunuchs may be gay or straight.
Daniel 1:9-12 refers to officers of Babylon who were placed in charge of Daniel and other male Hebrew captives. These officers were mentioned as being in charge of the Eunuchs. The question remains as to whether this was directly a part of these duties or that this was an additional duty as well as them being in charge of the Eunuchs. Since there is no reference to Daniel himself being a Eunuch it would seem that this was probably an additional duty, although the question must remain somewhat open.
