Is the therapist you are seeing, and talk about sex to, the same gender as you?

I wonder what they start to think when a client introduces into the session. And how do they get desensitized with tons of awkward topics during their medical school. Must be an awkwardly fun/painful journey to become a professional.

I'm trying to summon up the courage to work/talk through some sexual problems I have. I've talked to my partner about it first but I really need another insight. One unbiased, you know? But when I think about starting up the convo…. and who to talk to… what gender person I talk to and how much of a difference that makes…. I found both sexes awkward... like....

If I talk to a Female T, my experience with women in general, usually ask a lot of personal and intimate questions. Where I'm left going... Uhhhh..!

If I talk to a Male T, I get the opposite sex's opinion and what they experience as a person being of the opposite sex, but of course... it's awkward talking to the opposite sex.

BUT then again, both are awkward. What the heck!?

And how would a person bring it up? I mean, do you just walk in, sit down, say your "How are yous?" and then go straight into, "I want to talk about SEX!"

O_O... i don't see it happening.
