Wickli was making a joke, implying that Gandalf's spirit might not have been all that potent after all.

The question of whether Gandalf was succeptible to sexual temptation seems easily answered (cf. Wickli's own references), but it's entirely beside my initial point, which was merely that Gandalf is most assuredly not sexless: he is male, in temperament and in body.
