How about this one:

A sexy female celebrity (rock star, actress, or

whatever) surfs into the on-line castration clubs and

the Eunuch Archive. After a few weeks of lurking, reading

stories and posts (making her panties quite wet), she

publicly announces she wants a couple of live-in

eunuch servants. Naturally, men line up for the

privilege. She picks two lucky guys, takes them to

Thailand, and has them nullified. The tabloids follow

every detail.

It creates a sensation in the mainstream press. She

and her new eunuchs appear on the Tonight Show,

Letterman, etc. It becomes a fad in Hollywood and in

the music industry. Every starlet now has one or more

personal eunuch attendants. Even several male

celebrities are opting for the eunuch lifestyle.

Tens of thousands of screaming fans are demanding the

establishment of legal castration/nullification

clinics in the U.S. and Europe so they can emulate the

lifestyles of their celebrity idols. Lawmakers bend to

the pressure, making castration safe, cheap, and

readily available. Not much more hassle than getting a

tattoo!

Farrell

It looks like Farrell Squire has provided us with the plot kernel for his next novel. There are only a handful of authors on the Archive with the skill to pull off the story that he describes. Farrell has contributed some of the best straight stories to date and he has shown that he can sustain both plot and characters through a long story.

Maybe we just need to encourage him. I would also suggest that some of us provide ideas for him to consider toward his plot. Of course, he wouldn't need to use any of them, but they might stimulate him in other interesting directions that we cannot foresee.

For example: I can foresee A-1 providing useful plot details and local color to give verisimilitude for a wild beach party in Cancun with a flock of eunuchs attending a pride of movie stars. [Footnote 1]

I would suggest opting for the movie star as central figure. The opening chapter could be the movie set where she is starring in a period film set in classical Rome (or possibly the ancient Near East - Babylonia or Assyria). In the plot she is continually surrounded by "eunuch" attendants. For the casting they would be either young and androgynous or old and wizened actors. Some of them are continually hitting on her and she begins to wonder what "eunuchs" are all about. Why would ANY woman want "eunuchs" as intimate attendants? (No one should ever expect an actress to be intelligent enough to know about eunuchs!) This would lead logically into the search for information where Farrell began his plot summary. It also opens the way for a brief exploration of eunuchs in history as our starlet discovers it. [Footnote 2]

When the lucky young men are taken off to Thailand, Farrell might appreciate some information on the clinics. Kelly comes to mind; though I'm sure there are others as well.

Should some eunuch attendants to the stars be nullified and some simply loose their testicles? They can certainly be put to different uses. Remember that wealthy Roman matrons sometimes had handsome slave boys castrated so that they could provide intercourse on demand with no chance of pregnancy. [Footnote 3]

Some suggestions on male movie stars with eunuch attendants would be useful. What might be their PUBLIC purposes? The plot can also explore their non-public purposes, should Farrell so desire.

The way would be open for a eunuch movie star to become the "next big thing." Maybe even for one of those annoying "boy groups" of post-adolescent, out-of-tune singers to be made up entirely of eunuchs. They could then be surrounded by pre-adolescent groupies whose parents don't mind the objects of their daughters' crushes.

Maybe we're looking at Farrell's first trilogy....

Footnote 1 - Since I was a small kid I've been fascinated by the counters we use in English for groups of animals: a covey of quail, a gaggle of geese, a caucus of crows, etc. What are the proper counters for eunuchs and for movie stars?

Footnote 2 - There's a selfish reason for adding this plot suggestion. My interest and expertise is historical, though mostly East Asian. Pueros has the Mediterranean world information that would be useful.

Footnote 3 - There is the famous epigram of Martial: "You ask, Pannychus, while your Celia has so many eunuchs? Celia wants to have sex without appearing to." (Latin: "Cur tantum eunuchos habeat tua Caelia quaeritis, Pannyche? Futui velut Caelia nec parere." Martial VI 67) Juvenal also alluded to the practice in his Satires: "There are women who like the ineffective eunuchs because their kisses are always soft and they don't have beards and because abortives are not necessary." (Latin: "Sunt quas eunuchi inbelles ac mollia semper oscula delectent et desperatio barbae et quod abortivo non est opus." Satires VI 366-380)
