Part of what makes sex on the show unique is that “many of the shots are from the female gaze in Bridgerton,” Dynevor told Glamour UK. In Bridgerton, it is very much Daphne’s perspective of Simon her looking at his body and her feeling that sexual drive towards him.” “Watching Bond and male-driven films, I’ve seen it so many times, where the man is laid back in bed with his hands behind his head just watching a naked woman and she’s a sexualized object. With some prompting from Simon, Daphne decides to explore her own body for the first time. It’s her first lesson in human sexuality, and the pleasure it can bring. But surprisingly, Dynevor says these solo shots were actually some of her most challenging sex scenes to film. “The hardest were the ones on my own that were sexually driven, because there’s no one to vibe off,” she told Glamour UK.

It’s super sexy to watch-even if filming was a little tricky. When asked what sex scene was most difficult, Dynevor told Shondaland, “I will say one sex scene that comes to mind is in episode 6, when we’re doing it outside and it’s raining and it was freezing cold and I was very miserable,” she said. ” I was like, ‘Come on let’s shoot this so I can get into pajamas and have a hot chocolate.'”Īnother difficulty with that scene? “Making sure that modesty garments are held on even though the actors are wet, because a lot of times they’re held on with tape or glue, and making sure that that is still in place even with doing some very energetic scenes,” intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot told The Hollywood Reporter.
