What kind of therapy does he do? I had a very strong transference with a female therapist (not erotic), and then I changed to a male therapist and ended up with the same transference with him. She was not able to help me work through it (because the therapy that she did didn't include transference work). My male therapist has been very helpful with my transference issues.
I'm not sure that people don't have the same transference come up with people of the same sex (assuming heterosexual) - but it may be easier for them to discount it - to see that it has components from other people/time, if what they are feeling doesn't rationally make sense to them.
