Asuka's breasts are juxtaposed in a way with Yui's. Yui's is a symbol of Shinji's infancy and still lingering need for motherly security and comfort. With Asuka it's a symbol for his developing independence and sexuality. Shinji's trouble is that he is still imature in respect to woman, and has to differentiate between the to, lest he see women in terms of a mother figure (see also Rei, and the radio show on the Oral Stage at the end of 20). Asuka knows this and constantly taunts him about it, most notably is when he's doing the synch test with unit 0.
Is Shinji missing mama's breast? Is it like being in her womb,
or what?
And most notably in ep 15, where she was all 'get over your mom and gimmie a smooch'. Since man leaves his woman-mother for the woman-lover.

To go along with what Partyhard said, this is an old but good ANF archived post on the subject, specifically the last paragraph or so:
http://www.evageeks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=118668#118668
EDIT: That ANF archive needs a search function on it's own; eg with the actual threads. Some of those things are really hard to look up because of how long the threads are. (It took me more than a half hour just to find the post I was looking for! @_@ )
And just for the lulz, here: http://www.evageeks.org/ANF-Archive/images/09_asuka,shinji_glancedown.jpg

I'll remember that... Anyways, I don't see any motherly connection. He is scared of Yui, Rei, and Misato and wants nothing to do with them at this point.

Doesn't seem that way during P3II. Asuka was the one his thoughts revolved around going as far as to declare he wants to be with her forever.

You can feel so angry at someone that, in the moment, you want them (all) to die, and still honestly want their love and affection. Such is the contradictions and paradoxes of the human animal.

Not at the same time. If your mind is clouded by anger it is just that. I think you're reaching a bit here. One needs only to listen to P3II to figure out who that image is meant to represent. He was focused on Asuka and only Asuka.

If I do recall correctly, Shinji wasn't just thinking about Asuka
If all he was thinking about was Asuka I'm sure he wouldn't have rejected that statement.

Who it represents and what it represents aren't necessarily synonymous. I disagree he was focused on only Asuka, despite their P3II tiff. Again, I think to assume it all came down to just those two is to ignore everything that's been built up through the series between Shinji and his womens.Anonymous_Evafan wrote:One needs only to listen to P3II to figure out who that image is meant to represent.

He didn't reject it, he tried to add his terms to it.

So what, it's impossible for him to change his mind? He made it clear as day he wasn't comfortable around Rei and Misato in 24 which is completely understandable after what happened. In 25 we see he views Yui as a blood thirsty monster. I ask you how he'd find comfort being near any of them at that point? I'm not saying he never wished for it, just not at that particular moment.

Well his terms obviously included other people and not just Asuka.
Misato also saved Shinji and gave her life, that'd have to do something for him.

His terms were that she be nice to him.

And came onto him again and them made him sit through he sex life. Good to see she learned something the first time she did it...

How he feels at that particular moment, and how he's felt over the course of a few days and events doesn't change what he's really wanted all along, which was my initial point.

Sandbox Sequence, which follows right after the "What do you wish for"->Tanged cut. Here, we see a lot of things going on, losing his friends, losing his purpose, trying and failing, a mother that is too distant, etc.
His focus of affection (if you could call it that) was definitely for Asuka, but there's a lot more than "I just want to be with Asuka forever".
