propasarse verb

He examined her for several years, without ever increasing the frequency of her gynecological explorations, always remaining highly professional with her, never overstepping the mark, never taking their post-examination chats toward any dubious subjects of conversation.
La atendió durante varios años sin permitirse llevar la conversación a terrenos equívocos, sin aumentar la frecuencia de las exploraciones ginecológicas y llevándolas a cabo con la máxima profesionalidad, sin propasarse nunca.

There was in Tom Nevinson, as well as his complete lack of experience in the field, a kind of timidity, and, besides, he felt as many boys do: they feel too much respect for the girl they have chosen as the love of their present, future and eternal life, and so they avoid overstepping the mark with her as they certainly don’t with other girls, and often become overly protective and cautious because they see her as an ideal despite her being a creature of curious, healthy flesh and blood and inquisitive sexual desires, for fear of profaning her and making her almost untouchable.
En Tom Nevinson había algo de timidez y toda la inexperiencia en ese campo, y además le sucedió lo que sucede a no pocos muchachos: respetan demasiado a la que han escogido como amor de su vida presente, futura y eterna, evitan propasarse con ella como no lo evitan con otras, y con frecuencia acaban por exagerar la protección y el cuidado, por verla como a un ideal pese a ser de interrogativa carne y sano hueso e intrigado sexo, por temer profanarla y convertirla en casi intocable.
