I think when you spend some time with any therapist whatever your issues are will come forth, no matter what the sex of the therapist. It is about trust and consistency. I have a male therapist and he is among the most empathic people I've ever met. We've discussed sex in depth, as well as many other subjects. Yes, I've blushed at times but he made it easier than I imagined it would be.
Actually, for me, talking about suicidal thoughts was way harder than talking about sex. I was a lot more embarrassed to admit to those thoughts.
