Netflix‘s runaway hit Bridgerton has been making waves for all the right reasons. Its cast is fantastic, the acting is terrific, the series is superbly directed and the plot is gripping. Yet, Bridgerton has also caught the fancy of viewers across the globe owing to its steamy, aesthetically-shot sex scenes. To call the sex scenes hot would be an understatement. They are positively scorching. One sequence in particular, described as the library sequence, is especially memorable, as far as the lovemaking between the Duke of Hastings and his new bride Daphne Bridgerton goes.
Those very same sex scenes however, have not caught the attention of only Netflix users. They have caught the attention of porn aficionados as well; or more specifically, the attention of those who upload steamy stuff on porn sites. Nude sex scenes between the leads Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor have been uploaded on countless illegal porn sites, and have received hits in the range of millions of views on these X-rated porn sites. Netflix has gotten yanked off as many as they’ve come across, but the scenes keep popping up on adult websites faster than Netflix officials can get them off.
Bridgerton’s sex sequences have been much talked about, discussed and appreciated on social media, which explains the popularity of the clips on porn sites. However, it is officially Netflix’s intellectual property, and the streamer is in a bit of a fix as to how to effectively and absolutely curb the sharing and uploading of the scenes on adult sites.
Phoebe Dynevor, who plays the lead role of Daphne Bridgerton on the show, and on whom the aforementioned sex sequences have been picturised, is quite upset and disturbed by the exploitation of her revealing work in the intimate scenes. Despite Netflix’s stern warnings about misuse of their intellectual property, the sequences continue to proliferate on smutty websites.
Hulu and BBC Studios’ drama Normal People had also fallen prey to porn uploaders’ insatiable appetite for new content. Its much-talked about 20-minute sex sequence between the leads had similarly found its way on illegal porn sites. Once uploaded, the clips get shared beyond control, however vigilant the streaming platforms are.
Bridgerton is one of Netflix’s biggest hits, and is based author Julia Quinn’s best-selling series of novels. It is a product of Shonda Rhimes, through her banner Shondaland, and is created by Chris Van Dusen. While Season 1 focused on Daphne Bridgerton’s quest to find love, Season 2 will focus on her brother Anthony’s love life.
