I'm a female and I think I prefer male therapists. I have mostly only had male therapists a pdocs. I once saw a woman a long time ago briefly and it was fine but not great.

I currently have a male who is close to my age, attractive and athletic. I think that all of his female and gay male clients would have transference with him but maybe it's just me. I have a really good bond with him and for the first time I am getting a lot out of therapy. I also wish I could go have a beer with him but sadly/ fortunately he has strong boundaries.

Next week I start marriage counseling with a female and I'm nervous, although I'm sure I would feel that way if it was a male too.
