This sounds like my experience. Any T (or marriage counselor) I've had has let me take the lead when talking about anything related to sex. They've never asked any specific questions. But they also seemed comfortable with any detail I shared, like they weren't embarrassed or weirded out. I find I tend to stare at the floor (where I'd normally look at the therapist) when talking about those sorts of topics, and that helps some.
You could also potentially write it down/print it out and show it to your therapist, if you think that could make it easier. Or if you're doing virtual therapy, type it in the chat (if the program has one--Zoom does, for example) or email it to your therapist.
