Justine, I know some of both sexes that are great.
Some people do like going to women more because some have the opinion that they are more gentle.
I do not always find that to be the case. Go to someone you trust and are comfortable with. After all, being on the table is a vulnerable position and it helps to have someone you can talk to and trust. And I wanted to point out that some people may say that a woman knows how it feels because she has been there. Well, there are some things that I have never experienced too, but it doesn't necessarily make you not know what it feels like.
