Victor T. Cheney has just published a BRIEF HISTORY OF CASTRATION
2nd EDITION. This book contains a five page index plus a two page
glossary with numerous footnotes t aid the curious history buff and
serious researcher. Readers unfamiliar with this subject (which is
most of us) will be surprised to learn how important this operation
was to many cultures of the world in times past, and to a lesser
extent, even today. In Italy thousands of young boys were castrated
to prepare their voices for the opera. In Arab lands slaves (both
black and white) were castrated in order to become harem guards.
Chinese emperors found castrated males to be extremely reliable for
treasurers and other governmental posts. In the past their
operation was very dangerous and many died from infections. Bur it
also had its beneficial side effects. The average castrated male
lives 15 years longer than "normal" men. This is because harmful
hormones and other impediments were removed form the man's system.
For instance, one cannot get testicular cancer if he has no
testicles. Many ancient religions, as well as the early Christians,
used their religious duties unhampered by impure thoughts and
immoral deeds. Though Christians gradually abandoned this practice
some breakaway groups continued to castrate young men in Russia and
elsewhere even in this 20th century. The author believes that
castration can still play an important role in modern society. He
shows that it can be used to prevent serious crimes, diseases, and
the loss of vital spiritual and moral values.
