Why the Steamy Moments in ‘Bridgerton’ Are My Favorite Form of Escapism

Are you eagerly awaiting March 25 for the return of Bridgerton and its fresh dose of drama, romance, and sizzling encounters? (If you haven’t seen the enticing season 2 teaser yet, you’re in for a treat!) While the absence of Regé-Jean Page, aka the charming Simon, is disappointing, I’m still hoping for an abundance of thrilling stair encounters, spontaneous hallway threesomes, steamy rain scenes, and the kind of playful intimacy that ranges from garden kisses to art-inspired hand-holding.

If you haven’t yet experienced the phenomenon that is Bridgerton, here’s a quick rundown: It’s a witty, romantic series set in Regency-era England, chronicling the Bridgerton family’s quest for love (and plenty of passion) in the bustling marriage market of London. The show captures the essence of enduring friendships, familial bonds, and the exhilarating search for love—did I mention the sex?

I find myself longing to relive the excitement of Bridgerton’s sensual escapades, especially since I lack the energy to engage in such adventures myself. When the first season launched during the pandemic, it became my guilty pleasure—a much-needed distraction after a day of juggling homeschooling for my toddlers, managing household chaos, preparing meals, and worrying about health precautions—all while working from home.

Don’t misunderstand; my partner and I share a deep emotional and physical connection. However, we’re both utterly exhausted. Even during weekends meant for relaxation, we often prefer an early bedtime over romantic escapades. Sure, we fantasize about spontaneous passion, but the reality is that life’s demands often overshadow those desires. The thought of getting undressed, ensuring everything is “perfect,” and exerting the energy necessary for intimacy can feel daunting, especially with kids ready to rise and demand breakfast at the crack of dawn.

But Bridgerton isn’t solely about the steamy scenes. It’s a tapestry of intense friendships and family drama, centered around characters fiercely pursuing love. While I’ve already found my love and enjoy a relatively drama-free life (aside from the occasional family squabble), I think I crave the thrilling escapism that Bridgerton provides. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind having Julie Andrews narrate my life, although I’m sure few would find it as captivating.

Despite my fatigue—and perhaps yours too—I never regret intimacy when it happens. Yes, it can be tiring, but after watching the passionate encounters on Bridgerton, any reluctance shifts to enthusiasm. Though most of the time, the reality ends up being “Let’s sleep and save that for another time, love you, goodnight.”

So here’s to another season of a show that keeps us all hooked. I initially watched the first season solo, thinking it wouldn’t appeal to my partner, but now I’m excited to rewatch it together and fantasize about all the wild moments we may—or may not—experience ourselves.
