I understand these days things are fluid. Everyone is a little bit queer, a little bit pan. Literally, everyone has some feels for Kristen Stewart. Every woman I have ever dated has had the hots for Ricky Martin. Ok, he’s a super sexy queer icon. No problema! I don’t feel threatened by that.
I have always thought of myself as very clearly on one side of the sexuality spectrum. Even Harry Styles is a bit too masculine for me. I am just not into men. People ask me what I like most about being a lesbian. Umm hello? Have you met women?
I thought I had it all figured out and was very comfortable with that. Enjoy the broad lay of the spectrum, people, I will stay here in my lesbian lair.
Then I started watching Bridgerton on Netflix. If you haven’t watched it yet: A.) you’re probably one of these people that has Amazon Prime and B.) If you want to see sex on your screen other than on Pornhub – watch this.
The character of Simon Bassett, aka Lord Hastings is simply divine. He is so smouldering, so unavailable, so damn hot – OMG what is happening to me? I really don’t feel that at my grand age of – well, let’s just say I am on the wrong side of 21 – we don’t have to discuss how wrong. I am basically in my absurdly late twenties. I have been comfortable with myself for many years. And now, this faux aristocrat, this duke whatever, has me pretty much licking my laptop screen – gross. Don’t do that by the way. It’s unsettling how much dust accumulates on a screen. But I digress from this confessional much as I appear to have digressed from my position as a 100% confirmed ladies’ lady.
I don’t know if it is his devastatingly good looks, his complete inability to be honest about his emotions (don’t judge – we all have daddy issues), or the way he very nonchalantly explains to Daphne how to pleasure herself (not, I must confess, the most believable part of the show, though the scene in which she then goes to try it out is worth watching a few times…) that make him so appealing to me. At least he is into showing women how to have a good time, so we have that in common. All is not lost. And I’ll make sure to dust my laptop more often from now on.
