Like Elizabeth would potentially enjoy more aggression from him in bed, but would probably be triggered and unhappy if they did something that came too close to reenacting the rape.
I actually think she's not worried about that at all. She seems very firmly in control of the situation as she brings it up, and not at all tentative about it. She's even kind of baiting him, challenging him (which is both hilarious and delightful). I definitely think that's one of the things he is thinking about, though, and one of the huge aspects of his discomfort.
I think I didn't explain what I meant very well. I don't think Elizabeth is actively worried about that at all right now, or even thinking about it. But, for example, if Philip got on top of her in the same position Timoshev did, twisted an arm behind her back, etc, there's a point at which it could become too close to it and that would trigger her, whereas just more aggression in bed would be a potentially exciting thing.
And I think the same is true with Philip. There's an aspect of using other personalities in bed that I think would be a similar turn-on for him, but I feel like in the same way some things could trigger Elizabeth if they got too close to it, there's the potential some things could trigger Philip in a similar way in using certain personalities--either in bed, or later. Elizabeth in the kitchen conversation seemed at ease and playful. Philip seemed the exact opposite, which is why I feel like he's having sort of a mini freak-out on the inside. It's a little even like the kitchen scene from the pilot where he's just kissing her neck suggesting they try this thing and it's no big deal to him, but to her it's layered with all these other things that freak her out and he doesn't really understand why.
