Come to think of it...though no man would very willingly undergo the operation...it had to have some pretty attractions. Especially if you were put in charge of the Harem. You had no financial or any other responsibility to the women themselves who all looked upon you as a "safe" man. You lived among the most beautiful and desirtable women of their day...women washed and perfumed and dressed in the finest...also fed to bursting so there'd be plenty of 'em.

The main man had no idea how many he had or could much tell one from the other...after about the 11th one in line by order of attractiveness etc...so why would he care and how would he know? Also, as the women could hardly have been anywhere near satisfied by one vist every six months, if that, by an overfed, over-satiated, often drunk and exhausted Sultan or court official...the services of the Eunuch would have been much in demand...and best of all he left no tell-tale pregnancies behind. I don't think the Sultan much cared who diddled his last 100 concubines...just that no son of theirs might turn out to not have been the result of his own diddling. Beyond that...the Eunuch kept the women safe...and most important of all...ready!

Jeff...you sly puss you.
