To think that real life sex isn’t like TV?

After re-watching Bridgerton, am I wrong I thinking people aren’t having this kind of earth-shattering sexy time (I’m looking at you Duke of Hastings…) in real life?! Or have I just been missing out…

Nothing in life is as it's portrayed on fictional tv programmes because it's fiction. It often gives people impossible expectations of many aspects of life. You need to just think of it as entertainment.

I loved this series of Bridgerton

Well IRL it sounds less revolting, a sloppy hoover is not a pleasant sound

Well they aren’t going to put a 2 pump wonder on are they?? Nobody is using that as wank fodder.

I knew this was going to be about Bridgerton before I open it! You're not wrong but it is nice to dream sometimes 😂

Daphne is a lucky lady!

Well it is fictonal sex isn"t it ? Supposed to be exhaggerated and tittilating.

Well yes, but are people actually having this kind of sex in real life?!
