Setting: the story revolving around of Eunuch living in the Emperor's court. While not having the ability to taste the pleasures of the flesh, he has very skilled hands. He is able to deliver pleasure to women that the normal men and women are not capable of. While not able to have sex, he has different turn on – power. The court - in which Empress resides, with concubines desiring her position, the place filled with maidens – is a place filled with constant intrigues and power struggles, where one could lose their freedom and life. How will the Eunuch manipulate those around him and who will he ally himself, to reach the top, become the most powerful and influential person in the empire. Thoughts, suggestions?
Well... not sure about his intentions... if he can control a girl and help her to the top, she would be able to command him, wouldn't she? So he would always be his master's servant! Maybe the castration was done by a relative of the "eunuch" and he hasn't castrated him correctly but pushed the testicles into his body before sewing up, showing some bloody animal testicles instead. Later, that guy fed the eunuch hormones to ensure he wouldn't develop a deep voice and stuff and to suppress his ability to have an erection. (Not sure if this would work in regards to medical capabilities) The girls around him maybe know about his magic fingers and enjoy his company. One of them enjoys his limp cock and constantly gropes and sucks on it when he fingers her. The story could start when the man who did the castration dies and the eunuch doesn't get hormones anymore. On his next visit, the woman takes his cock in her mouth and suddenly realizes that he gets hard slowly. She is amazed but wants to make use of it... It seems that eunuchs can get erections and are able to ejaculate if the removal of the testicles happened after puberty... depending on how it is done, the body seems to develop differently.
The power struggles in court are a fascinating thing. A powerful chancellor, could actually kill Empress (Cao Cao) without much of consequences or even kill/remove the ruling Emperor and put another member of a dynasty on the throne (Sima Zhao and Dong Zhuo). ...Why there has to be a 'dick' in the story? Are pussy and hands (not to mention the butts and tongues) not enough? Question: how would a person, unable to feel any sexual desires or sexual pleasure, perceive sex?
I think eunuchs can feel sexual pleasure (may depend on how it has been done)... Besides, if they don't feel desire, I would assume they could see fingering a girl as a sport or something they could be good at...
Hey the power of Eunuch in orient is a well documented fact. Many of them ended being the main power in their regimes. Just two great examples: -Narses court eunuch and general of the byzantine empire. Responsible for the final steps of the Italian-Bizantine war. He had no experience before taking control of the army and despite of that he got major victories. -Cai Lun, the main eunuch of the chinese administration. Chine owes the use of paper in goverment beurocracy to him. -Judar Pasha, a spanish kid kidnapped and castrated by muslims who later raised in power to general under the moroccan kingdom. Eunuchs tended to gain power easily because the kings usually didnt see them as a threat since they could not start a dinasty. When that kind of power was given to a noble house it usually endend in the stripping of power of the ruling class.(Carolingians, Japanese Shogunate...)
For a short time after being castrated, sexually mature males can still get an erection and have sex - they just can't ejaculate; this actually made them popular among women. They rapidly lose this ability, however. Eunuchs, of course, still have a prostate and an anus (not to mention hands and a mouth), so anal and oral intercourse, as well as frottage, is still a possibility - and depending on the sexual preferences of the individual, they could still enjoy anal sex, or getting other people off, there's just not going to be a typical male orgasm to decide when the action is over. And that's leaving out the various options for toys - strap-ons, dildoes, plugs, handy vegetables, etc. Always an option, especially for a eunuch that wants to still pretend they can get it up (or a woman masquerading as a man). I think there's some real possibilities there - you're just going to be looking at a different sensual profile for the eunuch themselves, as while they can still give pleasure, they're not going to be able to receive pleasure in quite the same way. They might still like being penetrated, but there's never going to be an ejaculation - anal orgasms maybe still being a possibility, however.
It depends what sort of castration you are going for of whether there is even a penis to get erect, and I think it could be an interesting story if you're playing it from a multiple 3rd person point of view. So in effect you're 'main character' is a eunuch, lack of sexual desire but understands sex and desire. Then by a level of gossip and communication understanding which members of the imperial court favour which of the imperial concubines, princes and princesses and using various honey pot schemes, cunning and guile to rise in prominence whilst not getting caught (pimping out the Imperial family and the Emperors own concubines would be frowned upon). The eroticism part of it comes from the encounters, played through by either the male or female who're being 'manipulated' by the eunuch.
I imagine many of the manipulations would be in the dark. From a voyeur perspective probably not, purely because castration results in a lack of sexual desire. So if the eunuch was watching it would be from a more mechanical point of view to ensure the deed was done which in turn lacks eroticism. The reduced sexual desire is why I did not envision the eunuch in engaging in sex themselves.
