I think it's really important to look at the intent and context behind the question before a blanket statement is made.

As Dr. Muffin indicated, phrasing is important. My therapist and I talk about sex a lot. At first I thought he was enjoying it a little *too* much, but I soon realized that he was helping me to identify a huge issue. One that I didn't even want to think about.

I'm pretty sure, however, that having a male therapist *did* complicate things, but it was a complication that I needed to sort out.

It helped me to realize that men *could* be kind, and approach things will no ill intent or ulterior motive.

Sexual topics can exist in a room and they don't spoil anything.

In fact, I came to realize that it wasn't *about* him at all, it was about me.
