Haha, his hands are tied. In our current thread, he had a moment where he wanted to just get it out and over with, but he remembered why he hasn't already, so . . . The fact that Yuri is far too locked in for Vincent to set him loose. Plus, he has become part of Vincent's image, as it were, so he would raise a lot of suspicion among Elliot and Gilbert if they were to separate. So, there isn't a lot of internal motivation, while he is following through on the motions because of external reasons.

In a funny way, it kind of tosses back to the conflict of Yuri and Vincent being public or private from way back when. When it's private, the decision on what to do and how to act is very much Vincent's own prerogative, rather than all of these outside influences that he can throw back to. If he were free to act as he'd like, then Vincent would probably close the book between them before pushing too far and ruining something he does truly enjoy.

Y-Yuri doesn't have feelings or desires with other people? Really? Or is it just that Vincent taught him?
