that's EUNUCHS.
it's men who have had thier genitals removed, they were used as slaves in Roman times(maybe even earlier), and they were used later, called Castrati, as singers of hymns because thier voices were so high.

Eunicks are people, I have really never heard of any other than male but there reasonably could be female also, that for one of several reason can not reproduce. They have either have been physically rendered incapable by means of surgery or something, or they could be born that way.

A eunuch refers to a castrated man. There is a long history for them going as far back as 2100 BC. Have a look at the wiki entry for more information.

A eunuch is a castrated man; the term usually refers to those castrated in order to perform a specific social function, as was common in many societies of the past.

Who better to guard the palace wives and concubines than men with no balls? Well that's what happened in ancient times. The eunics had kind of a cult thing to them, there are lots of wild stories attached.

Its eunuchs. They were castrated men used to look after a King or Princes harem of women, as they had no genitals or sexual drive they could be trusted not to have sex with the women.

It's spelled eunuch.
They were male slaves who had their testicles (but not their penises) removed. They were usually in charge of tending to a leader's wife or harem. They were castrated in order to guarantee they wouldn't have sex with any of the women.
Why they didn't just have women do it? I don't know.

no it's when men get their testicles removed they still have the rest of their privates some men can still have sex after words which is why queens would use them so they didn't get pregnant by anyone other than the king

Eunuchs were castrated men who were employed in brothels in ancient times to ensure they didn't "handle the merchandise" as it were.
