Maybe he's afraid to tell you that he's really got his eye on all the geldings in the next field over. Have you created an atmosphere where it's okay for him to talk about his sexuality? Do you live in an area where same-sex equine relationships are frowned on? You need to make sure that your stallion knows he will always be loved by you, irrespective of whether it's mares or geldings he fancies.
It can be really tough for a stallion to come out in such a macho world where it's expected that he'll willingly breed any mare put before him. But with your love and support, he'll know it's perfectly fine to be just the way he is.
Gill all kidding aside I have heard of a few studs that just won't breed some mares. They must put of some kind of energy that the stallions just don't like.

He's never coverd a mare in his life......our nieghbours mare have been out lose and over here while being in heat and he had no intrust in them, he'll just go over to the other side of the padock and grazzes there.....he through a fit if abby is not in sight site of him, she is now turned out with him and all they do is just stand there and grazz side by side........if you take her out all hell brakes loose vis versa if he goes out she throws a fit... but he's never been in to any of the mare's.....our vet can't under stand it either, is abby his surcurtey blanket because he's been so sick? Or could he been up hhhhhhmmmm gay?
When I was working at a Thoroughbred stud farm there were these two mares who would not let a stud mount them unless the other mare was there watching. Heehee. I thought it was cute....they needed moral support!!!
We also had one stud who took his sweet time smelling the mare all over and squealing. He would scratch her withers and be so gentle. Sometimes he even seemed uninterested in mounting, but just wanted to hang out.
CUTE! Horses are funny. Your stud sounds pretty sensitive. Maybe the girls are talking too much smack about him! Alright, enough anthropomorphizing...I have no idea what his deal is!
