My familiarity with the manga is quite shoddy. I think I told myself that it 
was okay -- "I'll pay more attention to it when he finishes the damn thing."

That's because they're clearly undergoing intense reaction formation.

Speaking of masturbation: Are you familiar with Shin-seiki's rather 
mind-blowing (IMO) theory regarding Ritsuko's nudity?

Thou hath not basked in the joys of "ReDeath"? 'Script' excerpt:

***
Scene: Secret Chambers of DI$NEY (footage from #21, #23')
Song: "Thus Spake Zarathustra"

(The SEELE-01 monolith appears, along with the others.)
(The song abruptly changes to "You Should be Dancing" by the Bee-Gees.)
(Ritsuko stands naked in front of SEELE-01.)

Seele: All right, cool.
Seele: Shake it, baby!
Seele: Ohhhh yeah.
Seele: Take it off!
Seele: Ohhhhhhh yeah...
Seele: More jiggling.
Seele: No-no-no-no-- ahhhhhh!
Ritsuko: (thinking) I've gotta find a better second job.

Worse than a mailing list, you would be privy to every last one of Mr. 
Horn's depraved thoughts!

But on the bright side, Anno wouldn't be able to hide any more secrets.
