Prince Kaspar and Princess Melanie of Artouria were an odd couple if ever there was one. Prince Kaspar was an impotent gay bottom. Princess Melanie was a nymphomaniac. Like most such weddings, it had been an arranged marriage. Prince Kaspar, of course, had the responsibility to the dynasty to beget an heir to the throne. This he accomplished by means of a primitive form of artificial insemination. The Prince masturbated into a funnel in his bride's vagina while being buggered by one of his studs who had been warned that if he came before the Prince had finished, it would be the last time he ever did.There must be no risk of contaminating the dynastic seed. This awkward arrangement worked quite well and, by means of it, Kaspar was able to beget "an heir and a spare, " Ruprecht and Lamprecht. Kaspar was immensely relieved not to have anything more to do sexually with Melanie. The whole business was distasteful to him. Not that Kaspar had anything against Melanie. She was charming and witty and he actually liked her, but she was no more sexually attractive to him than any other woman, i.e., not at all. However, this was not to Melanie's liking in the least. Once she had recovered from delivering Lamprecht, Melanie confronted Kaspar about their sexless relationship. "If you don't let me take lovers, I'll divorce you and let everyone know what you are." Kaspar was appalled, though his interest in men was hardly a secret. However, he had thought of a solution for this problem. He sympathised with Melanie's plight and truly wanted her to be happy. And, so he told her. "You may have all the lovers you want.....but they must be eunuchs." "WHAT GOOD IS THAT ?" screamed Melanie. I need a MAN !" "Trust me, my dear" replied Kaspar. "It is well-known that if a mature sexually active man be castrated, he retains his erectile prowess for many years afterward and performs in bed as well as or better than an intact man. Do you read Latin ?" Melanie nodded. "You should read the Roman satrirsts, especially Horace . He wrote amusingly about this. It was common for Patrician women to take eunuch lovers who could not get them with child." In his endless quest for well-endowed lovers for himself, Prince Kaspar had stocked the palace guard with well-hung studs. Other than keeping the Prince happy, the guard was basically a sinecure. The palace of the Princes of Artouria was in the center of the tiny principality and needed little guarding. Artouria hadn't been in a war for 200 years, since it was caught between two warring kingdoms.The nominal function of the palace guard, therefore was ceremonial. In Prince Kaspar's time, however, it had also become a stud farm for the Prince's bedchamber. Reassured by Kaspar's words, Melanie agreed gleefully to his plan. The next time that the Prince inspected the palace guard, for the first time, the Princess accompanied him and selected six handsome young guardsmen to serve her. The guardsmen wore skin-tight white hose and waist-length jackets which clearly displayed the form and size of their manly parts. Princess Melanie was ecstatic and faint with delight at the sight of all of the man-meat on display. Subsequently, however, the guardsmen whom she had selected were appalled and horrified to learn that they were to be gelded. The Princess witnessed, from behind a translucent screen, the "preparation" of her lovers and chafed at the thought that she must wait 60 days before they would be safe to couple with her. Every effort was made to make the whole procedure as little traumatic as possible, lest shock and pain impair their performance of their duties when they had recovered. The gelder was proud of his skill and highly conscientious. He had studied the factors which contributed to post-operative infection and fever and had discovered the importance of cleanliness and removal of all hair near the operation site.He boiled his instruments and used a dilute solution of potash to clean the scrotum, the perineum, and his own hands. Each guardsman was stupefied with opium before the operation and soothed with strong brandy afterward. The gelder's technique was somewhat unconventional. He grasped the scrotum between his thumb and the palm of his hand and pulled it between them forcing the testicles up against the body. Then he cut away the scrotum with a sharp razor-like knife so that the testicles spilled out into his hand. Using two pair of primitive haemostats, pincers with long jaws bent at a right angle so that they approached each other in parallel motion, he clamped the spermatic cords and wired the handles of the pincers together, In a small charcoal brazier, rested a cautery, basically a small flat-ended branding iron. After cutting each cord with his scalpel, he cauterized the end of the cord near the pincers with the orange-hot iron. He then unwired the handles of the pincers and opened the jaws very slightly to see if there was any bleeding. If there was, he clamped the cord again and repeated the cauterization.When he was sure that there was no bleeding, he unclamped the cords which then retreated into the inguinal canals. All that remained to be done then was to sew up the remainder of the scrotum, no more than a short flap of skin. To the incision, he applied an astringent balsam made of aloe and the efflorescence of corroded zinc.The castrated guardsman was then put to bed and watched overnight for signs of fever. As usual in the castrations which Vahan performed, there was none After resting for a week, the eunuchs were placed on a diet rich in red meat and given red wine to drink to fortify them for the performance of their duties to the Princess. During the sixty-day waiting period, the eunuchs were required to masturbate three times daily, both to maintain the vigor of the virile member and to void the unwanted sperm.They were, one and all, delighted to find themselves quite capable of meeting this requirement. Prince Kaspar might well be described as a "male nymphomaniac" for his passion to be buggered was well-nigh insatiable. He was also an avid fellator. After a few months, therefore, his bed-boys were pretty thoroughly exhausted and unable, at least for the time being, to perform satisfactorily. They had, therefore, to be replaced frequently. The Prince had been in the custom of returning his worn-out studs to the guard. Now, though, it occurred to him that, once they had rested sufficiently, they might well be of use to Princess Melanie. So, when Kaspar had used up one of his studs, he would have the poor fellow castrated and , if he recovered his potency, would offer him to Melanie. The guards came to dread inspection, knowing that one or more of them would be chosen for duty which would end in castration, whoever chose him. Princess Melanie's first six eunuch lovers served her for many years but she was not averse to having some variety in her sex life and occasionally added one of Kaspar's cast-off studs. This did not happen as often as Kaspar had expected inasmuch as many of his exhausted ex-lovers never recovered their potency after castration and were useless to Melanie. They were given an honorable discharge with a pension . This gradually depleted the guard so that Kaspar had to recruit more guardsmen. The discharged grardsmen , bitter over their unnecessary castration., warned young men against volunteering for the apparent sinecure at the palace. Prince Kaspar, therefore, resorted to the use of press gangs to seize well-hung young men and youths, hauling them off to the palace in tumbrils. Many of them were sexually inexperienced and would have been impotent after castration and useless to Princess Melanie. Those who caught Prince Kaspar's eye, were certainly far from inexperienced when he tired of them. More and more often, especially as Kaspar aged, he grew bored with his young men while they were as yet not exhausted. Those experienced studs who had not become hopelessly habituated to gay sex, provided a source of supply of lovers for Princess Melanie after being castrated. If Prince Kaspar had lived much longer than he did, there might well have been a revolution over the impressment of young men and youths to become sodomites for the Prince and eunuch lovers for the Princess. However, immediately upon ascending the throne of Artouria, Prince Ruprecht, long revolted by his parents antics, defused the situation by banishing his mother to a nunnery and dismissing the palace guard. |
