“If they trust you they don’t need to look” feels just as manipulative as “if you have nothing to hide let me see.” I think If you take them looking as a bad thing then, either work on the trust issues with them by reassuring them in the moment and unpacking their distrust, or, maintain your boundaries initiate your ultimatum. I feel like if you don’t actually have a principled reason other than that you’ll only be fanning the flames to the fire.

No, it’s not manipulative to have basic boundaries of respect and privacy.
