Xavier Whitmore, the tall and handsome Don, was unable to have physical relationships with a woman.

I scoffed. It wasn't so much that he couldn't handle being physical with a woman. It was simply that he could not be physical with anyone but her. In that case, she could have the pleasure of being the Donna.
