How can a man that has taken a vow of chastity even HAVE a sexual orientation? Allow me to rephrase the question:
How can a man that has taken a vow of chastity EVEN BE SUBJECT TO the temptations of this world?
When the question is phrased this way, the answer becomes evident. A good application of this answer is Henri Nouwen.

Henri Nouwen. Gerard Manley Hopkins. Affectively, anyhow, the chaste John Henry Newman and half of the Oxford Movement.
Always on the lookout for saints like these. USConservative, if you could add names to the list I would be grateful!
