Musing on the number of men with high profile careers getting brought low by sex scandals.

I'm wondering if some of them, the ones who value their career, might consider castration? Used to be a lot more popular for high powered career gentlemen, but has fallen out of fashion of late.

Honestly, as a satisfied customer, I rate it very highly.

Just saying.

@pseudomonas "Popular" might be the wrong word. "Useful" perhaps. Various points in Ottoman, Byzantine, Chinese, and Persian history, for starters. Being a eunuch means you're not a direct threat to the imperial throne, therefore you have leeway to accumulate a lot of power.
