Bridgerton Season 2 Proves It Doesn't Need Sex Scenes To Be Hot

Deviating a bit from its predecessor, Bridgerton season 2 proves it does not need sex scenes to be hot. Bridgerton became a worldwide phenomenon for its highly competitive drama, diverse cast, and anachronistic soundtrack. The first season notably gained millions of fans because of the steamy sex scenes between Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page) and Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor). Meanwhile, although Bridgerton season 2 has noticeably fewer love scenes, it is certainly not inferior in terms of romance.

Bridgerton season 2 introduces way fewer sex scenes, primarily because of its central love story. Compared to Simon and Daphne’s ruse-turned-fiery affair in season 1, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) have a more restrained, complicated relationship. While Daphne spends a better part of her story learning about and experiencing physical intimacy, Anthony and Kate choose to prioritize their duties, leaving almost no room for the fulfillment of their desires.

However, this does not stop Bridgerton season 2 from providing its own version of hot. Since their romance is a slow burn, much of their meetings involve an undeniable sexual tension. As Anthony and Kate resist their feelings publicly, they also have been in private situations involving forced proximity, near-kisses, lingering stares, accidental touches, seductive whispers, and ironic confessions.
