I have not seen the show, but I did read the book and see the original movie.

Based on that, the handmaids were simply there to have babies. Nothing else. If the wives of the elite were barren (and most of them were), the couple would get a handmaid to have children for them.

I remember the scene in the movie- the wife lay on the bed, fully clothed, the handmaid lay between her legs, also fully clothed. Her skirt/dress was lifted enough by the husband (also fully clothed) who only had undressed enough to do the deed. The handmaind was only there to be the wife's womb.

Also, remember the handmaids's names, at least in the book and the movie. All of them started with "Of", "Offred" was meant as "Of Fred". His property.
