Any males here who have legitimately never had sexual attraction towards females?

If so, I would like to get your opinion on something.

A couple years ago I began having supernatural experiences, one of which is a physical resonance feeling that I receive when I have certain ideas, which mostly pertain to religion. This resonance feeling has identified itself as the "Spirit of Truth". As someone who has been a skeptic most of his life, I am not going to affirm that it is the Holy Spirit, but I'm not going to deny that it is, either. It definitely feels like it, though.

One thing that resonated for me is the following verses (Matthew 19:11-12): "But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

What resonated is that when Jesus was speaking of eunuchs who were born that way, he was talking about gay men--as in, men who have never been sexually attracted to women, this unable to reproduce. Of course, he specifically says that not all men will able to understand it, unless it applies to them.

I also got the resonance feeling from Wisdom of Solomon 3:14, which was in the original King James Bible: "And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind."

I found this very intriguing thesis that gives evidence of how in ancient times, gay men were classified as eunuchs: https://people.well.com/user/aquarius/thesis.htm

On a side note, when I was browsing through this subreddit, I came across some saying that God's desire is for us to marry and be fruitful. However, in 1 Corinthians 7:32, Paul says: "He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife."

So, what are your thoughts?
