5. She isn't asking you to be explicit, is she?

I was celibate for a long time and I know a lot of people find that strange. It was also difficult for me to explain why. It turned out that I had some issues with sex that I needed to work through. My drive was there and everything functioned okay, but even after I met my wife and we started having sex I still had a problem for a little while.

I'm not saying that you also have issues with sex- I wouldn't know. I'm just trying to explain why your therapist may be pushing the issue. It could have ramifications for your personal psychology. Try to set aside your discomfort. This therapist knows you the best and she is a professional. If you have any problems, it's not likely something that you will resolve is just a few hours with another therapist.
