So maybe I'm extremely biased going into a religious fundamentalist totalitarian universe, lol.

yes yes yes, i like you you are a smarty!
personally didn't find ANY of the sex attractive because even tho Nick the Guardian and Offred are breaking the rules to bang (a la 1984, sex=liberation) and sex for personal pleasure is inherently subversive under most fascist regimes, BUT she is only fucking him to find a little slice of pleasure in a sadistic rape prison. She doesn't even seem to like him. she just needs something that is hers. She literally has so few freedoms and pleasures that to become promiscuious is a way to regain her control.
so even your joy is symptomatic of pain.
conversely, this unpleasurable expierience for michelle is probably resulting in Michelle reading this and getting at least the slightest ego boost from all the attention she's stirred up...ARE YOU READING THIS? ARE YOU HOT RIGHT NOW?
