Please note that I am serious, some women actualy do it.
In my city, there was a woman with a hormonal disease that made her face grow much hair. (might have been a problem with ovaries) When my aunt saw her in hairdresser's trying to get rid of this extral facial hair, she was really astounded. So she asked a lady about it:"how does her husband feel about this???" they told her that the husband of this woman was "without manhood" and therefore not offended by this.
This woman couldn't perhaps find anything better and needed a man to support consol and help her in life. So was the case with the man who didn't want to live alone and needed a confidante.
but I read somewhere that among catholics suich marriages are unacceptable and therefore invaild. Why?
A man without vital energies cannot enter priesthood and is not allowed to marry. is he doomed to be lonely for ever?

It's a good question spouse.

Do you have source for what you are saying you read?

Obviously, a marriage between a man and a woman where intercourse is impossible from the outset cannot be a binding marriage covenant, since the ends of marriage cannot be lawfully obtained.

I don't think that means two people cannot marry and remain together without ever having intercourse.

What I mean is that conception cannot occur lawfully in the case where intercourse is impossible.
