What happens in the manor stays in the manor
The Lust Cinema page for the series describes "Ashford Manor" as “a playful homage to the work of Jane Austen, set in the Recency Era, Ashford Manor follows Annabel (Nicole Kitt) and her friend Beatrice (Jasmine Tea) as they pursue love and sexual awakening. Adventure arrives in the idyllic countryside when Beatrice's friend Katherine (Nolina Nyx) visits with her husband Philip (Dillon Diaz) and their friend Graf Willhelm (Jonte). Will the budding tension between Annabel and Wilhelm bloom into romance? Meanwhile, Beatrice and Katherine explore their affections with each other...and share their adventures with Philip.”
The costumes, set pieces and declared period here are reminiscent of the famed Netflix show to be sure, but that’s where the comparisons end. As one should expect with an adult-themed homage, there is plenty of same-gender canoodling, oral sex of all kinds, and multiple partner liaisons happening in the drawing rooms of this manor. Surely an homage, not in any way a porn parody (of which there certainly are plenty) Ashford Manor takes its adult action very seriously.
Bridgerton sex
When a mainstream publication like Glamour takes to ranking your sex scenes, as they do here, you know a show must be delivering erotica correctly. And often. Based on Julia Quinn’s novels of upper-class British folks romping through the 18th century, while Glamour claims a goodly amount of heat-inducing hookups occur in "Bridgeton's" season one, not so many in two, they promise the heat rises in the just-released season three.
