Good choice Daggy. Coffee certainly wouldn't do you any favors with incontinence since it can have a diuretic effect. Coffee also affects the CNS which could trigger or exacerbate your anxiety. I know it affects mine and I love coffee. My TCM doctor has encouraged me to have no more than 1 cup of coffee a day. Ideally he'd like me to switch to tea but I don't like tea. Coffee can also increase inflammation in the body which we now know is not good for many health reasons. I know you're a man but something important I learned is that coffee can affect uterine health (not just the caffeine but other aspects of the coffee itself) so it was making my period pain worse. I just mention to demonstrate the point that I think you're doing yourself a favor by either radically cutting back or replacing. Anything you can do to reduce or eliminate irritants in your body is a good thing.
Of course sexuality is in your head...you're a human!
It's not something you could just switch off.
I hope you can find some peace today Daggy
