Okay so like, Bridgerton season 4 is bringing the heat—and not just the Regency-era drama. Spoiler alert: they’re diving into the orgasm gap, and honestly, it’s so relatable. Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and John Stirling’s love life is basically a slow-burn awkwardness fest. You know the drill: quiet courtship, soft-spoken banter, and then… nothing. Their sex scene? Quiet, careful, and somehow still awkward. Francesca’s face says it all—like, what even is this? Meanwhile, Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) is flexing her wild, orgasm-filled sex game with Colin, and Francesca is like, why am I not getting this?
The show isn’t shy about the stats either. Recent UK research says only 30% of women orgasm every time, and the stigma? Still so thick. Francesca’s panic over not hitting her “pinnacle” (which, honestly, sounds like a fancy term for a climax) is a mirror to real-life shame. Therapist Shelly Dar explains it’s not about being “bad” at sex—it’s about cultural scripts that prioritize penetration and male pleasure. Women feel confused, embarrassed, or even guilty for not meeting these expectations. Francesca’s fake orgasm? A total Sally Albright moment, but also a raw look at how many women fake it to avoid awkward conversations.
The show’s best part? It’s not shaming Francesca for feeling stuck. John’s therapist-speak (“You don’t have to perform for my sake”) is Gen Z energy, and honestly, we need more of that. Bridgerton isn’t realistic—it’s a fantasy where everything’s pristine, but the conversation about sex being complicated? So real. It’s a reminder that talking about pleasure isn’t shameful, and that some people just… don’t get it.
KEY POINTS: The orgasm gap isn’t just about sex—it’s about cultural shame. 30% of women orgasm every time, but stigma keeps it hidden. Open, nonjudgmental communication is key, and sometimes, faking it is just… a thing.
💫 Or have you ever fake it to avoid awkwardness.
