Who would have fallen?

[Groin Redbeard]

Seeing what Legate has said, I would have to vote Gandalf, the ring would not want to take most of the Fellowship except for maybe Aragorn.

I think Gandalf knew about the situation far too well. He wouldn't be fooled by the Ring so easily. The Ring might go after him, but that dose not mean that it would succeed.

But, Oblo, the Istari were subject to the cares and *weariness* of the flesh, and were in the bodies of *old* men. So unless the Loremasters of the Noldor were aware of some herb Viagrasse....

That doesn’t mean that he would succumb to those temptations. Just because he was subject to the Ring dose not mean he would fall for it.

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.
