Institution of harem matrons

Harem matrons were for a smooth harem operation equally important as the eunuchs. nI some cases, harem masters didn't like eunuchs and all harem supervisors and personnel were older women – so called harem matrons. nThese females were very strict and even cruel in maintaining the harem discipline. They were chosen for their physical strength and stern looks.nHarem matron were recruited and came from different background. First, they were the older concubines, who were no longer used in master’s bedroom. Next, Pasha's agents looked for special women in Europe. Like older prison wardens from all female prisons or highly experienced reformatory supervisors. Simply females experienced in taming young girls. Last but not least, some Pashas and Sheikhs purchased these females right from a slave markets. Most of the matron, depending on the local religious leaders, had to present them self before the local Imams.nA proper matron had to be well built, very corpulent with preferably monstrous bust. All matrons were required to wear a especially designed bra. This bra lifted their many time already saggy breasts, giving them a torpedo shape and therefore a very threatening stern look. Some matrons cut holes around their nipples, insterting a special device in their nipples, so they were permanently erect, jutting out through the fabric. This all evoked a menacing look and all new young virgins arriving into a harem had immediately huge respect toward such a strict looking big woman. nLesbian activities and lesbian corruption of the newcomers posed a big problems. Any so called lesbianized virgin was spoiled and she now preferred to be with older women instead of a man, her master. This problem was rectified by removing all parts of temptation from each new matron. Simple and complete female circumcision was performed on almost every new matron. It was quite piquant that most of these new recruited matron didn’t know about this old custom. They were quite surprised when they were put asleep and woke up as new women, meaning circumcised. Some of them were even infibulated. Some Pashas use the old matrons in their bedrooms, but mostly in their back openings.
