For me, the show shot those scenes in an extremely un-titillating way. Like, objectively I saw that Fiennes was attractive, but everything from the set, to the blocking, to the dialogue, to the acting, to the costuming reinforced for me how terrifying the situation was and how disregarded and mistreated Offred was. I also feel like it went out of it's way to strip out any romantic element of the situation, like with poor Janine :'(
Also my husband and I realized that if we didn't have sex before watching the show, it wasn't happening that day, because we were both so turned off and horrified, lol.
