I'm a 52-year-old woman who sees a male therapist, and trust me, we've talked about sex, periods, menopause, childbirth, you name it. He was very matter-of-fact about these things, and I was actually pretty comfortable talking to him. I would think talking to a female therapist about such things would be a little easier. After all, she's been there.

Trust me. They've heard much more personal things about people than natural bodily functions. Your anxiety about talking is probably much worse than the actually discussion will be.
