@ceruleanspark But that's only really looking at it literally and sort of divorcing what it represents in the wider scheme of Evangelion, and that's intimacy, which of course relates back to that central anchoring theme of human interaction. And of course the most explicit show of intimacy between two human beings is sex, so sexuality is used a metaphor (not to mention through what's in my opinion pretty gorgeous cinematography and music. Not only that, but as mentioned before that Rei is essentially "god" at that point so her caressing the collective souls of humanity is in relation to the way the presence of some sort of omnipotence watching over humanity is present throughout NGE in the mise en scene, with intimacy again being a deep expression of that.
