Musar for Yevamot 149:19

וניקב לא מוליד והא ההוא גברא דסליק לדיקלא

WHAT IS TERMED A PEZU'A? Our Rabbis taught: What is termed a pezu'a dakkah? A man both of whose stones were wounded or even only one of them; even though they were only punctured, crushed, or simply defective. Said R. Ishmael son of R. Johanan b. Beroka: I heard from the mouth of the Sages at the Vineyard<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The College. So called because the students were sitting in rows arranged like the vines in a vineyard. ');"><sup>46</sup></span> at Jabneh that one having only one stone is a natural born eunuch<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [H] lit., 'a eunuch through heat', i.e., fever, illness (v. Golds.) or 'a eunuch of the sun', i.e., from birth when the child first saw the sun (v. Jast.). ');"><sup>47</sup></span> and is, therefore, a fit person. How could it be said that such a person is a natural born eunuch!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The former surely might be the result of an accident! ');"><sup>48</sup></span> — Say rather, he is like a natural born eunuch and is, therefore, fit.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The prohibition being restricted to the wounded or crushed. ');"><sup>49</sup></span> Is [a man whose stones are] punctured incapable of procreation? Surely, a man once climbed up a palm tree

Shenei Luchot HaBerit

Commandment 168 forbids a ritually unclean person to eat any part of the sacrifices or other hallowed matter that may otherwise be eaten by someone who is ritually clean. The operative verse is "she must not touch anything that is holy" (12,4). Our sages in Makkot 14 view this as a prohibition directed at the person eating such "holy" things.
