Castrato

In the early days of opera, womyn were not allowed to sing in public, not even in a chorus. How to fill in the female roles in opera? Pick a choir-boy with a great voice that has not yet deepened, by consent of their parents, perform a little operation on them, removing the testicles.

Results? Without the hormones needed for adulthood, their voices remained sopranos and altos while their chests and lungs matured regularly, their voices combined male power with female beauty. Now they were able to successfully pull off female roles onstage.

Today, this practice is illegal.

Farinelli was the most legendary castrato... history says these things, but can it make you believe them?

Castrato

Castrato is a man or boy who has had his nut-sack chopped off so that he does not produce any man-juice and therefore is basically a girl with a penis. They sing like little girls and look like a giant torso with 2 inch thick but 7 foot long legs and 1 inch thick and 3 foot long arms. even though they were seen as freaks because they were simply sick freaks they were nonetheless loved for their singing abillity but still hated for absolutely everything else.

I never have seen one but I was told that the Italian opera uses Castrato singers which are really just nutless men who can sing like a woman or even a little girl.

mass castrations

In ancient and medieval times was a common practice the castration of vanquished enemies after the battles. A historian of the Seljuk sultans told a tale in which after a great victory over the the last of the Khwarazmians, the turk Seljuk Key Coubad ordered the testicles or scrotums of thirty thousand defeated army soldiers joined together to produce three hundred tents - a task which apparently occupied the greater part of the army for five whole days, but produced what was described as a memorable memento of the battle!

"These mass castrations were done just after the battles, in order to sell the new eunuchs to the merchants of slaves that usually followed the armies".

Mexican Castration

...can happen as a result of carrying Mexican i.e. sans pistol holster/proper retention device--gun usually tucked into waistband.

Literally: to accidentally blast one's own genitalia off via a negligent discharge of a firearm that is being "carried Mexican."

Mexican castration almost happened to Plaxico Burress when his (.40 S&W) Glock 23 went off and struck him in the thigh at that New York night club because he had his piece tucked into the waistband of his sweatpants. But seriously, despite the fact that he could have shot his own balls off, who wears sweatpants to a nightclub?
