Bridgerton, the Netflix series that dropped in 2020 and became one of the most-watched shows on the service, has consumed us body and soul ever since. Four seasons and one devastatingly romantic spin-off titled Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story later and it’s still a major obsession.
I won’t waste my time spoiling too much of the plot since I’m sure you’ve already watched, but as the name implies, the series, which takes place in the 1800s, follows the Bridgerton family and their love interests in a sexy Regency England. But to describe this show as ‘sexy’ is a bit of an understatement. The series may seem like an innocent, cutesy watch à la Pride and Prejudice or Downton Abbey, but it’s actually anything but G-rated. The series is adapted from Julia Quinn’s romance novels, which despite being pretty virgin-centric (most of the ladies of that genre barely know what sex is before their wedding night) is a spicy book series you wouldn’t want to get caught reading on public transport.
That’s where Netflix steps in! Like, aside from the wild amount of nudity and basic ‘making love’ scenes the show touts, it’s also the equivalent of your horny dreams on steroids. There’s lots — and lots — of unexpected oral sex, masturbation, dirty talk, outdoor sex, and even sex on the stairs that looks? kind of? fun?
So because Bridgerton is (1) an actually good Netflix series to fall in love with and (2) a perfect show to masturbate to, I’ve taken it upon myself to round up the hottest moments from the entire series to date.
You can totally fast-forward to these exact time stamps (no judgment, you horny thing, you... we’re here to help), but I do recommend you give the whole series a watch. Especially if you like drooling over particularly sexy men and women with accents — AKA my personal kink. Light spoilers ahead…1
As if there was any doubt what Anthony Bridgerton’s breakfast of champions is. Netflix heard you complaining about the scaled-down sex in season 2 and are making up for it by coming out of the gate with some Kanthony goodness. And while they are interrupted, they’re back at it again by the end of the episode.

Not sure why any self-respecting #Polin ’shipper would want to seek out this scene in particular, but to each their own!

While one Featherington girl is at a low point, the other two finally successfully have penetrative sex with their husbands. Phillipa seems to be having a better time than Prudance, bless her.

What’s wrong, Colin? You’ve barely touched your weekly threesome. Are you preoccupied with something or someone else?

Colin may have had his sleazy, rakish era but Benedict is unmatched. He’s had a new girlfriend in every season so far. All three (Genevieve, Tessa, and Tilly) are financially independent and strong-willed ladies, which rocks. He may be a womanizer, but he respects women first and foremost...in and out of bed!

Turns out, Kate and Leo in Titanic did not invent fucking in a car. Techinically, this is getting fingered in a carriage, but it still counts! This is the moment that book readers were waiting for, and it totally delivers. It’s kind of all anyone is talking about. The scene is sexy and triumphant, and I love how they laugh with each other when the carriage stops. They’re besties in love!

These two crazy kids have been doing everything unchaperoned and unsupervised, from "courting lessons" to getting freaky on the ride home. It's no surprise that they didn't wait until they were legally wed to ~go all the way~ so to speak. While I'm not thrilled that they did the deed on a chaise lounge (First a carraige and now this? Let my girl have some space!) the scene is everything book readers wanted, from the mirror moment to some of the actual dialogue!

Benedict Bridgerton, a (maybe?) bisexual king! This storyline has been teased for multiple seasons, and we finally got it: Benedict hooking up with both a woman and a man. It'll be so interesting to see how the show incorporates Benedict's ongoing relationship with his sexuality in his season.

It took two episodes into the spin-off of a show that was, at the time, two seasons in, but we finally got some same-sex sex between main characters on Bridgerton. Brimsley and his lover Reynolds have a sexy height difference and a messy, frantic, delightful love story that—unfortunately—has to stay behind closed doors.

“I’m very good with buttons”...sir! While their first time is far from their literal wedding night, it’s worth it. It’s equal parts steamy and sweet. And while life isn’t happily ever after for the two of them, a really good roll in the proverbial hay is a solid foundation!
Fast-forward to about 48 minutes.
