Why not reflect on Matthew 19: 10-12? The Church’s rule is pretty much the same. An “apostle,” such as Paul—or John Wesley—probably should not marry. Too much time on the road to be fair to the wife and kids. Maybe parish priests should be married men, like in the Eastern rites. But that creates other problems, for instance what our Lord was speaking about before, which is divorce. You think living with the same women,” till death do us part,” is “more natural” than remaining celibate?

That is what i was talking about, if a man is actually an eunuch that is one thing, but trying to be is a different story, you can not be what you are not.
