He was an athletic and inventive partner and in a physical sense, not unaware of her. Not inconsiderate. But he was on guard against anything that verged on sentimentality, and from his point of view, much did. She came to be very sensitive to this distaste, almost to share it.
What does it mean to be "on guard against anything that verged on sentimentality?" What is sentimentality with regards to sex?
And how sad is it that she came "almost to share" his distaste of sentimentality? That sentence speaks volumes about a woman who gave up too much in order to make her husband comfortable.

It's very sad, you're right.
