I would find it inappropriate for her to ask questions (sexual or otherwise) purely to satisfy her own curiosity.

I guess a little background info is warranted here. I see her to deal with childhood sexual abuse. I have a very hard time opening up with my feelings so they come out in other ways. In the past, I have acted out sexually by purposely recreating the atmosphere of my abuse. I have just recently started to realize that I do this so I think this is where she is coming from. I truly do not think that she is just curious. I really believe that she is trying to understand me so she can help me. BUT! That doesn't make it any less awkward.
