Gaia told Cronus to cut off the genitals of Uranus. ^ This answer bugged me since it is so vague. You probably know that Uranus cast his children into the Tartarus. The Tartarus is in the deepest bowels of the Earth(Gaea/Gaia; doesn't matter which way you spell it). This caused Gaea, Uranus' wife an incredible amount of pain. In an effort to soothe the unending pain, she requested one of her children to castrate Uranus. Cronus accepted the task, and his mother gave him an adamantine sickle to cut of Uranus' genitals. That is how Cronus overthrew his father, Uranus.

Kronos (Cronus) is one of the few names from Greek mythology that does NOT have a Greek etymology, which means it's older than Greek. Many philologists think that the name comes from Indo-European sources meaning "to cut", a reference to the sickle he used to castrate his father, Ouranos.

Saturn is the Roman equivalent to the Greek Cronus, or the Titan father of the Olympian Gods (of Greek mythology). He was the Titan to castrate his father, Ouranous and gain control of the universe.

The Titan children of Uranus and Gaia took Uranus's place as rulers of the heavens, for Uranus had been castrated by the scythe that Cronus had wielded. Cronus was afterwards called King of the Titans, his son Zeus would later overthrow him for swallowing his own sons and daughters in fear of a prophesy of Gaia and Uranus, that he would be overthrown be his children, as he had overthrown his father Uranus.
You don't have to castrate them because they are genetically infertile, or cannot produce offspring.
