Bridgerton is all about love, family, and happily-ever-afters. But let's be real, it's also very much about sex. From the pages of the books to the Netflix adaptation, steamy encounters abound, and with them come some deep questions about consent and its moral weight in sexual relationships. Sex is woven into the fabric of the show, but here we're zooming in on a few key moments: the encounters between Daphne and Simon, Lady and Lord Danbury, and Penelope and Colin. How do we philosophically distinguish between rape, consensual sex, and good sex? We usually think of rape as sex without consent: an act where someone is forced, coerced, or simply never says "yes." On the flip side, consensual sex is often assumed to be both allowed and good. If two people agree to it, what's the problem, right? But plenty of consensual encounters fall into a grey area, cases where people disregard their partner's needs, act selfishly, lack honesty, or fail to communicate. And if sex is missing care, respect, and responsibility, can we really call it *good*? (17)
