I prefer a same sex therapist, as I have a lot of issues with men and don't think I could open up to one in the same way. Not that there aren't wonderful male therapists out there, I just prefer seeing a woman.
But my pdoc is a man, and we get along great. I think he's handsome and very masculine, but I'm not really attracted to him in a sexual way. I see him as a definite father figure and he's very important to me. My therapist is a mother figure and I feel an attachment to her as well. Haven't had the sexual feelings for a therapist, though I can certainly understand how it could happen. I had a chiropractor once who was about my age and was cute as a button and I was so jealous of his wife. We became 'friends' and I even went over to his house once (his wife was home) and it was cool - but I was definitely attracted to him. Couldn't help it.
