Why is THE HOT DUKE not on top?

AIBU, or just a complete old-woman perv, to think that the HOT DUKE OF BRIDGERTON (who has literally become the only thing that's keeping ME going through this January) should be firmly "on top" Wink of this list?

Who would sign my petition? Anyone else spending every cold dark evening with the Duke? Blush

I agree with @Pomegranatemolasses, I WISH i could stop feeling this way, but i can't. I keep googling about Rege, hoping I'll find something unsavoury about him so that I can start disliking him. I haven't been successful so far. He is gorgeous gorgeousness personified.

Can't bring myself to watch Normal People as I'm still so angry at how much I hated the book. Also I've heard it's got a lot of sex in it and the sex was the worst bit of Bridgerton - I fast-forwarded it Blush

We're the Duke to be looking for someone to practice those sex scenes with (not on fast forward) obviously I would have to oblige for the sake of his art.

I read the book after watching Normal People and though the series was better. It's extremely well cast and acted, the attention to detail is amazing. The sex scenes were very well done (intimacy coordinator) but they do go on a bit so if you don't like sex scenes generally that might be off putting.

Thanks Sparklingbrook. I could always try the series and just hit fast forward if I'm getting bored!

It'll pass the time if nothing else. Some nice scenery in all the locations.

@Pomegranatemolasses - I agree. I've got absolutely nothing done since being drawn into this thread!

My friend and I watched the whole season on Boxing Day!
She is a huge fan of the books.
Long time wait until the next season.
Lady Danbury is utterly brilliant

To be fair to him, he did want to be on top........

pinkgin85 · 13/01/2021 14:55

He totally has that it factor doesn't he, yum

Omg. I'm peri-menopausal. My libido is through the floor. But the Duke "awakened" something😄

8hoursormore · 13/01/2021 15:37

Whatonearth2021 so sorry!!
Have you got the Duke on TV in the background?

Personally I prefer Anthony Bridgerton, undecided on the sideburns though 🤪

Pomegranatemolasses · 13/01/2021 17:46

This thread deserves a boost.

This this this 🤣🤣

To be honest one of the scenes bordered uncomfortably on rape and really changed any enjoyment for me.

And the bizarre "choose the distant grumpy man and you can change him" thing - I'd have hoped we'd moved beyond that trope.

MrsSchadenfreude · 13/01/2021 18:25

The Duke of Hastings provoked some twitching in my nethers. You can keep the others.

TheTrueDuchessOfHastings · 13/01/2021 19:07

I see you all are appreciating my beautiful husband, The Duke, as usual. How lovely! He was made specially for me. Carry on.

@thefutureduchess Sorry that would be over my dead body!

FutureDuchessofHastings · 13/01/2021 20:14

@TheTrueDuchessofHastings ha ha! That could be arranged! 🤣

TheTrueDuchessOfHastings · 13/01/2021 21:17

I knew you would say that Grin but don't forget my husband is a boxer (and has a friend who's one too).

Sorry, your future plans have failed!
