Eunuchs by nature?

[Olympiada]

Hi All,
Is it true that there are eunuchs who are created by God, men that are incapable of loving women in a sexual way, and that this why some men become monks?

To suggest that men become monastics because of some inability to have "relations" with women is a bit ridiculous and belittling to the many monastics struggling in this world. Forgive me, but this points to the fact that you have a poor understanding of what a monastic is and what they are strive to do. Perhaps a better line of study would be to examine what monasticism is.

The one and only real reason to become a monastic is to save one's soul. Doubt not though, that God uses whatever means possible to bring one to the threshold of the monastery if that is where one needs to be.

I like when people ask honest questions about things they don't know, it's a good sign.

[Olympiada]

All right, what does that mean, "to save one's soul". Despite my reading and study and this and that and sacramental and parish and what ever life, I still don't get it. Can someone please explain this to me?
Thanks
