what exactly is a eunuch?

[Tedd (imported)]

Ein Eunuch ist jemand vom 3. Geschlecht.

Er stammt aus dem Geschlecht der Männer, bildet aber ein völlig neues Wesen.

Sex ist dem Eunuchen im wesentlichen fremd.

Die Gedanken über sexuelle Praktiken der Eunuchen stammen aus der männlichen Vorstellungswelt.

Sich sexuell benutzen lassen dient dem Eunuch als ein Erwerb von Geld, Geschenken oder Zuneigung.

Die Geschichte der Eunuchen zeigt wie sehr diese es verstanden ihre Energie, ohne den Kraftverlust der Sexualität, optimal einzusetzen.

Eunuchen waren oft mächtig und reich.

Es wäre mal sehr interessant dazu einiges zusammenzutragen.

Eunuchs can be gay, straight, or anything else. I've always thought it interesting how everyone on this board really has little in common with one another and probably would have nothing to do with one another except for that one little thing which brings us all together.

You are right on the money, here we are all brothers and sisters - family.

Difficult one this. There's so many levels of sexual orientation, and just as many reasons why folks become a eunach. I was born male (lol) and now live with my female partener, which makes me not gay in most peoples eyes. But, my desire from an early age is to be female (nothing to do with sexual orientation). Hopefully, sometime in the future I'll have sufficient funds to adjust my face and body to appear more female (if only genetic engineering was more advanced!). Then as someone female, and living with a female partener, that would then make me gay. Confused? At least it's clear in my head..

Hi Hardlivin,

You mustn't feel obliged to 'open up', as if you've got something everyone should be afraid of, like a contagious disease that must be avoided.

Forget the 'labels'. You are YOU. So just share and enjoy life.

Don't worry about sex and orientation, that is for those who are confused by their hormonal inconsistencies.

You already 'are' something the women you like also like.

Don't be scared of how you think folks might react, there's so much to do out there. Got any hobbies - societies - charities ?

I guess I've always taken the position that what other people think of me is none of my business. What I think of me is. One can always be mindful of others, their opinions, needs, and so on. But in the end, if they dictate how you think of yourself, you are living your life for them.
