Roman Catholic Answer: Is there a particular reason that you don't want to go to confession to your priest? Priests are absolutely bound to a secrecy that you can't even imagine. They can not even change their behavior due to anything they heard during a confession. This is one of the most solemn charges they have. Remember, too, that they themselves are human and go to confession regularly, themselves. Also, they hear many confessions during a week, and it would be nearly impossible to shock a priest who has heard it all - many, many times. About the worst sin you can come up with, he has probably heard many times already, perhaps even from the person right in front of you, and again from the person behind you. He might even himself have confessed the same sin when he was at confession. Remember, above all, that he is sitting there as the representative of Jesus Christ. He is loaning his ears and mouth to Jesus during your confession, and acting as His representative in forgiving your sins.
If there is something else which is really bothering you about this particular priest, call the nearest Catholic church outside your area and ask to speak to the priest there, you can even call the Chancery of your diocese and explain that you need to talk to another priest - they will help you out.
