But how could he gain pleasure? Since he says in the confession of Act 2 that he associates sex with disgust and is happy if Tav proposes a relationship without sexual intercourse? From what I understood, sex hurts him, and he slept with Tav just for manipulation. Maybe what he says that he didn't sleep for pleasure is just that he couldn't achieve it and in the end he was only doing it for profit. After all, he says that he has not had a moment of pleasure in these contacts for 200 years.
