[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished episode 4. Goddamn. This is way better than Season 2 or 3. It might even top Season 1. The scene with Benedict and Sophie in the stairwell was so hot…he licked two of his fingers….omg! I need a cold shower. Of course it was totally ruined with the whole “Be my mistress” line.

Violet was a trip with the whole inviting Lady Danbury’s brother over for tea. [/quote]

Omg really?? I didn’t get the finger licking at all. If she’s really going to come in 45 seconds or whatever, she’s already lubricated. And if she wasn’t, licking your fingers like that wouldn’t help. He barely moistened them. It was just kind of icky. [/quote][/quote]

Totally disagree. He was making sure he wouldn’t hurt her. He doesn’t know if she’s lubricated enough. Plus she’s a virgin![/quote]See, this is the kind of dialogue I enjoy about Bridgerton. Napoleon—who the heck cares? Talk to me about a man who understands proper lubrication![/quote]

To be fair, Bridgerton is about sex, not about history. It is a fantasy. People who are trying to relate it to real history do not get the point of the show.[/quote]

+1 no doubt it was a man yapping about Nelson…and probably a man saying she didn’t need to be lubricated. lol.[/quote]

I was the one who first brought up Nelson and I’m a woman.  The sexy stuff is all well and good but I find it so much more interesting to think about what’s true to the purported historical context and what’s different — it’s like how sci fi is interesting because it makes you think about what’s different from our current reality.  [b]My point was mainly that being a rich man’s mistress in that time frame was not a bad gig and better than most other options for non rich women, os we can’t really slam Benedict for offering it.  [/b]I mean, think about a world in which you can’t marry the person you love unless they happen to be from the right family, have not been previously married, etc etc.  So of course you will have a ton of people setting up long term relationships outside of marriage, because the heat wants what th heart wants, even 200+ years ago.  If you think about it that way, the mistress thing is often kind of sweet.  And they often had a sort of acknowledged place in society.  (Let’s all remember too that the current Queen of England was once the long term mistress who was considered inappropriate for marriage just 50 years ago ….)

And for those who want to know more about admiral horatio Nelson’s great love of his life and mistress:

I get that. I think people are viewing it from the modern day lens though. And in that hot steamy scene it sort of ruined the moment. In fact, the music even stopped in that scene at that point.[/quote]

The thing to also know with historical context is some of the artist/free love types ruined the lives of every woman who got involved with them.  Shelley and Byron most spectacularly.  So being a mistress could be a very fraught endeavor.[/quote]
