Margaret Atwood is an amazing novelist. There is alot going on in that book. Don't miss it because you are too busy thinking about what they were doing, I love the language in that passage, the weird unnatural triad, how she describes the actions, its not making love or sex its more basic! Read the Blind Assain or even better ORYX AND CRAKE. Love the gift Margaret gave you!!
