![]() ![]() And unlike before, she doesn't let Simon pull out of her when he climaxes, knowing that this is what will increase her chances of getting pregnant. The next time the couple has sex, in the midst of their love making, she changes her position to be on top. After Daphne realizes that her husband has been practicing the withdrawal method and his "I can't have children" is more of an "I won't have children," the newlywed feels betrayed, believing that Simon has taken advantage of her naivety when it comes to the ins and outs of conception. ![]() But it's the controversial sex scene towards the end of the 57-minute mark that has people talking. ![]() Some may associate this particular episode with Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon's shameless romps on every surface of Hastings House. And that bad comes in episode 6's "Swish." But as overwhelmingly delightful as this book series turned-Netflix show is, I can't talk about the good without mentioning the bad. The period drama's sweeping sets, lush costumes, an irresistible gossip columnist, fabulous Queen Charlotte, and casting of Regé-Jean Page as Simon saw to that. Readers can find TheWrap’s interview with Dynevor here.From the first time I watched Shondaland's Bridgerton, there was no question in my mind that it was destined to be a hit. Watch TheWrap’s full interview with Page above. The fight that needs to be won is over that false pride before you can discover the vulnerability that allows you to unlock all the good stuff that does actually make you attractive, hopefully.” And quite frankly, there isn’t a fight to be won. “Even if it’s something quite frankly pathetic as someone who is already dead. “Because the whole point is this man is incredibly intelligent and generous and inventive, but all of that is locked away behind this prideful false strength that he can only express through spite and through dominance of others,” he said.
