I have a particularly difficult time trusting men, so I didn't even consider seeing a male therapist at first. Though since then the thought has occurred to me that seeing a male therapist might help me work through some of my 'men' issues. I just feel much more comfortable with women.
That said, my pdoc is male and I have very little trouble opening up to him and being pretty darn honest. And it has been therapeutic, because he's taught me that there are men who can be trusted. I also saw one of my therapist's male colleagues when she was out of town one time, and I felt pretty comfortable with him. But I think a female therapist is a better fit for me.
