I think you've figured it out for yourself already but I agree, it seems more about safety than sex. I would guess that your husband is in it because you wish and need his support as much as you do your therapist's. Being held is such a physical need and your husband is "allowed" to do this for you, while your therapist holds you emotionally.
I'm trying not to project my own wants and needs here. But I'd tell your therapist. It might make him step back and be less "comfortable" with you. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
Hugs,
Daisy
