'Game of Thrones' Eunuch Sex Scene: How Grey Worm and Missandei Are Able to Get Intimate By Tufayel Ahmed On 7/24/17 at 11:39 AM EDT Grey Worm and Missandei had an unusual sex scene. Thanks to a popular character on the exhilarating HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones, many viewers are learning the meaning of the word 'eunuch' for the first time.The term describes a man who has.
A eunuch is a man who has been castrated or emasculated, before or after puberty. Most people would not volunteer their young sons to become eunuchs, and most men would not choose to be castrated or emasculated. Therefore, most eunuchs are slaves who have had no choice in the matter. The most famous eunuchs are the Unsullied.
Eunuchs in Essos
Eunuchs are far more common in Essos than Westeros, where they make popular slaves. In Yunkai, slaves are made into eunuchs by cutting only the testicles off. [1] The Yunkai'i also geld boys in order to produce castratislaves. Yurkhaz zo Yunzak owns a group of Yunkish castrati slaves who sing songs in the ancient tongues of the Old Empire. Their voices are high and sweet and impossibly pure.[2] The Dothrakidosh khaleen are served by eunuchs.[3] In the Seven Kingdomspoison is seen as a weapon of eunuchs.[4]
The Unsullied are eunuch slave soldiers, trained from a young age in Astapor. They are fully castrated - penis and testicles removed - and their manhoods burned at the altar of the Lady of Spears.[5]
In Bayasabhad, Kayakayanaya and Shamyriana 99 of 100 boys, the sons of the Great Fathers, are gelded when they reach the age of manhood and live out their lives as eunuchs, serving their cities as scribes, priests, scholars, servants, cooks, farmers, and craftsmen. Only the most promising males, the largest, strongest, and most comely, are permitted to mature, breed, and become Great Fathers in their turn.[6]
The Nine Eunuchs were members of the dynasty of the pearl-white emperors who gave the Golden Empire of Yi Ti 130 years of peace and prosperity.
The priests of the Blind God, a deity that was once worshiped in the Valyrian Freehold, were eunuchs who wore eyeless hoods in honor of the god, for only in darkness, they believed, would their third eye open.
Eunuchs in Westeros
In Westeros castration appears to serve more as a severe punishment and deterrent.[7]Varys is a known eunuch who has risen to the influential and powerful position of Master of Whisperers. However, he was made a eunuch in Myr, not Westeros.
