Bridgerton is all about love, family, and happily-ever-afters. Sex is woven into the fabric of the show, but in this chapter the authors focus on a few key moments: the encounters between Daphne and Simon, Lady and Lord Danbury, and Penelope and Colin. In her book, The Joy of Consent , Manon Garcia argues that sexual consent is unique because sex has a very specific place in society. Consent may be all that is necessary to avoid criminal charges, but Garcia argues that good sex needs something more. For Garcia, there's no single, universal formula for good sex. It's not about ticking off a checklist of moral behaviors, it's about a mindset. At its core, good sex is about mutual recognition. Garcia reminds us that sex, even between strangers, is a joint activity, something people do together, not something people do to one another.
