"She had become a physical necessity, something that he not only wanted but felt that he had a right to" (139).
Reading this, it sounds like Winston feels as though Julia's body is his and he has a right to do whatever he pleases with her. It sounds awful but its actually comprehensible. The first time him & Julia made love wasn't really an intimate action but their reason for doing it was so much better than just doing it out of affection. For once in his life, Winston performed an action so condemnable and got away with it. Naturally, it gave him a strong sense of pride and with all that adrenaline built up in him - he develops a desire to do it again and again.
