The REAL Bridgerton: Georgian Sex

The long-awaited third season of Bridgerton is here! And with it, we all become obsessed with a particularly sexy version of Regency-era history.

Today's episode is the first in our mini-series on the REAL Bridgerton. Across four episodes we'll uncover Georgian attitudes to drugs and alcohol, insights into the celebrities of the time, and a re-cap on the historical accuracies of the latest season.

First and foremost, though, what was sex really like in Georgian England? How effective were the fashionable animal gut condoms? And what erotica were people enjoying?

Today's guests are Catherine Curzon, Kate Stephenson, Julie Peakman and Katie Wignall.

This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
