I fear this, partially, because I have discussed with her about some romantic transference that I had felt some time ago. It doesn't feel strong like before, but I still like her, and I thought that I would feel weird talking about sex with her.
Have you been in the same spot? How did you talk about it? If I talk about this with her, would she be more, like "on guard", as if I were crossing boundaries? I'm not too sure about that last one, though.

My therapist and I discuss many things including my sexual orientation and sex issues. kind of hard not to when you blurt out at her "nice behind view" (putting nicely for the sites word filter lol)
she knows I am a lesbian married to a wonderful woman. She has been very understanding and does not think any different of me, not even when my wife and I met with her for help on certain issues my wife and I were having because of my past history of being a survivor of abuse.
my treatment providers expect that their clients have different or rocky relationships and sometimes come from different gender identities, sexual orientations or sexual preferences. most times they are very open in telling someone when they are not able to help them with their sexual issues and recommends someone else for that part of the job.
