I personally never thought it necessary to tell everything, every little quirk and secret about myself, to a therapist. I did when I thought they were related to the issues I wanted to bring to therapy, or when I just felt motivated to share it. At the same time, I did not tend to feel afraid of the T judging me for anything, I actually would have been very surprised if they did, especially for something related to sexuality. On the negative side, I typically kept relevant info from them when I did not want to deal with the issue and wanted to avoid them getting into it and influencing me. But I did not feel too attached to them either and I think RaineD has a good point considering that aspect. In terms of living in a small rural community - I think I definitely would be cautious about what I let them know, not out of fear of judgment by the T or others but because I would not want to have some personal issues to be mixed into my professional image. So my view is that, if it is not crucial to addressing your primary issues in therapy, it is probably worth thinking carefully about potential impact on whatever you do in your community and endeavors.
