I'm referring to the hospital scene, Shinji's shame & suicidal frame
of mind after, and the theory that Asuka was pregnant at the end of
EoE.
In the hospital scene we hear a little, see his hand, & perhaps
underestimate his act. Would masturbation alone have been enough to
mortify Shinji to the state of mind he then deteriorated to?
Shinji certainly had whatever he'd done on his mind. He tried to
confess to Misato (hoping she'd ask what he'd done) by the elevator
about whatever he'd done, but wrong time & wrong place & too late.
Shinji's other physical contacts with Asuka in EoE end in violence. 2
attempted stranglings. Given that the kitchen scene was before,
Shinji then came across Asuka helpless & exposed. As in the kitchen
his whiny pleas fell on (this time literally) unhearing ears. Shinji
had reached a mental breakdown/desperation point where IMO he was
capable of doing Asuka as an act of violence/retaliation or even to
try waking her up as well.
The pregnancy part. Well Asuka went through a physical change process
in Eva 02 which might have accelerated any child concieved by Shinji.
On the beach, her tender reaching out to Shinji could perhaps be seen
as mother to father of a child. Feeling sick could partly also have
been caused by pregnancy, though Shinji & all her experiences probably
weighed heavily on her as well.
