In my country (in central-eastern europe) during middle ages punishment for sleeping with another men's wife was as strange as in athenes and much harsher in my opinion.
Such men was taken to a bridge, than he was forced to sit on bridge handrail. Than he was nailed to this handrail in spot beneath penis and above scrotum. Then people gave him razor and left.
Our hero had two choices: 1. Sit on handrail as long as he could but eventually he would loose balance, rupture his insides and die. 2. If he act fast enough he could use the razor to cut his balls off. Then, if he would be patched soon enough, he would live- but then he would have to forget about having children.
I don't know what i would do in such situation. You are right Mr. Greer, people in past were different. Much different.
