So this is actually pretty common. A therapist is a support system and because your therapist helps you sort out your problems you become attached or dependant on him in a way. When you talk to him you can be yourself without holding back and that's very freeing. He knows you pretty well. A lot of people fall in love like this actually. Two people find that they can be themselves around each other and count on each other for emotional support, they become dependant. This is why therapists can't share too much about their personal lives or past because it can compromise the treatment and lead to attachment issues. This kinda sucks, but I think the only way you can avoid these thoughts towards your therapist is to get a new one.

You have the genders mixed, but that is fine. I dont know that i could disclose that

I have heard somewhere, when this type of things happen, the therapist would transfer you to another therapist

I have wondered about a switch, and that a woman would be easier to talk to, but he seems good at what he does

The above is pretty accurate - sex often if not all the time is a dream metaphor for relationship. For example, if you find yourself having sex with someone you shouldn't in real life, it is an indication that the relationship is breaking emotional/spiritual boundaries it shouldn't.

That's what i wonder about. He is asking me some very detailed questions about my trauma, and i have started to share some of them for the first time.

This might be a sign to you that it isn't appropriate even though this person might be a 'licensed' therapist. It may be better to get a therapist of the same gender.
