I think you said it best in your first post, "it seems she probably shouldn't have done this". Yes, it does seem inappropriate that she made you the CD. Even more so considering you are currently struggling with the therapeutic relationship.
Talking to her about the sexuality and all of the related tension you feel is a good thing - as long as your therapist can handle herself appropriately. BUT, I think the first chat must be about boundaries. See how that one goes. Then, if you feel safe, continue on with the next topic.
There are reasons, as you know why therapists lose their jobs for having relationships with clients - it seriously injures them emotionally. It takes advantage of their vulnerability. It's something therapists learn about in school. They are all aware of the power they have. However, they are human too, and have frailties, weakness, and egos.
Please take care of yourself! Emmy
