Daphne magically discovers her first orgasm.
In The Case of the Female Orgasm, Elisabeth Lloyd finds 11 percent of women have never had orgasms at all.
Media portrayals like “Bridgerton,” where girls magically orgasm from the mere image of a handsome prince charming, don’t help narrow what’s been dubbed the “orgasm deficit.”.
The masturbation scene is also the only clear orgasm we see Daphne have.Having sex for the first time, Simon asks if Daphne “touche[d] herself, like we talked about?” Asking her to show him, he slowly moves her hand down with his, touching her for approximately 3 seconds, which squares more realistically with most cis men’s attentions to women’s pleasure.This is not the only time Simon leaves Daphne hanging.He later does it purposefully as punishment, in an episode titled “Oceans Apart.” In a scene that has been widely discussed elsewhere as potentially non-consensual (Vox has a good explainer), Daphne gets on top of Simon and doesn’t allow him to pull out.
Unable to deny their chemistry during a fight, Simon goes down on Daphne on his grand estate’s stairwell.
