Jenna asked this question about The Janissary Tree (Yashim the Eunuch #1):
I’m confused. Doesn’t being a eunuch mean he has no male parts? I’m not sure i really understand the specifics of what was done to make a eunuch. Also, did he have sex with that Russian lady? If so, how? Wasn’t that the point of eunuchs in harems? (I.e. they had no sexual urges, unable to act as a normal male) Someone please help and explain..
