Remember that Daphne needed Simon to explain masturbation to her, and her maid to explain actual sex. This is what happens when mothers are too prudish to talk to their daughters candidly.
@@chanaberlove8720 - I think that she will, having had firsthand experience with the problems that can come of not knowing. Her mother likely did not need as much because the late-Viscount wanted children all along. So even if Violet did not know when she married, she would have learned quickly enough. Daphne's problem was that Simon was originally trying to avoid impregnating her.
Actually, only upper class girls would have been so uninformed. It was easy to hide such details when a family lived in a huge mansion and everybody had their own bedrooms. Normal people lived in much smaller quarters in those times and most girls would have known, in a general sense, how their parents made babies.
@@kp782 Preposterous! Most of these girls had older sisters, cousins, friends, etc that were newly wedded that would have "passed on" the info. Not to mention that CofE and the Catholic Church required BOTH participants before marriage to attend instruction regarding their "marital responsibilities"; plenty of era textbooks for these classes still exist and while not pornographic the concepts of conception ARE covered. Finally, small dog breeding was an INSANELY popular hobby among the upper class women during this era; it doesn't take much imagination to transfer the "activities" (and the inevitable outcome) of Floppsy and Moppsy to the human animal.
@@thedemonnemo the goal of the era was to keep upper class girls completely unaware and always virgin. The rest 95% who didn't live like the upper class knew of course from early on. S3x was considered sinful and the way these girl (5%) grew up were completely sheltered from the reality. Most of them wed also quite young so they didn't have any clue about anything
This is so funny, but I kind of sympathize with Eloise and Daphne. Fortunately I found out sooner, but I was also sheltered and my parents tried to keep me in the dark for as long as possible. I was shocked when I first learned that you could get pregnant outside of marriage at 11 from a novel, and was terrified when I first got my period at 12 because I knew I was then capable about getting pregnant but didn’t know *how*. Thank goodness for middle school biology class lol.
Damn… you must have felt so panicked…. Took me a while to understand too… but rather than have anyone explain to me clearly (I mean, to talk to me about hymen when I was 12 and understood nothing to scientific talk didn’t really work ; and my classmates dragging me into a corner to fill my head with I-don’t-even-know-what-that-was didn’t do any better), I had to slowly collect the facts and eventually make the maths on my own 😓
Yes, this is why it is INCREDIBLY important that there be good and proper education on the subject. "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret" should be standard reading material.
That wasn’t curiosity, that was fear. The poor girl doesn’t want a child and she has no idea how it even happens and nobody will tell her. For years she was led to believe that a lady had to be married in order to have children but now she has learned that isn’t true at all. For all she knows, it could be like an illness and she could be struck down with it at a moment’s notice. I’d be terrified of it too if I had no clue how it happened and had plans for my life that didn’t include children.
@@baked_alaska she was curious. Penelope told her about her a pregnant maid who was not married, and she believed a woman had to be married to have a baby. Their mother did not tell them, that's why when Daphne married she asked a maid.
You can’t really blame the mother here. This was a forbidden subject for young unmarried women in their period/ regency era: You have to consider the period this show is in. Today we understand educating young girls of such things is a good thing. But in the past they thought it was best not to make young girls know of such things to keep their innocence.
@@lexiechans oh yes. Well… the mother did rather poorly explaining it the day before daphne’s wedding night/ wedding. In that I’ll say she’s at fault 😂😭
@rachana777 that's not what I said. some people can't pass for a teenager in their twenties but this woman is 30 and is very believable for playing a teen. you can't tell me that every 30 year old can do that
@@AntheaMac84 - Which is actually something that was not at all uncommon. The surprising part being that the idea hadn't occurred to Eloise. She certainly knew that she could bribe the coachman to take her to intercept Lady Whistledown without a chaperone.
This prompts an interesting question especially after watching part 1 of season 3. Did Pen know but pretended not to or was she in the dark like Eloise?
Yea when i were teenagers my grandmother told me that I could get pregnant just by touching the man's hand!...I was too afraid just to accidentally touch with their hand 😅...
@@foolslayer9416most girls still would have had SOME idea, from things like discussion with sisters/friends/etc, but the knowledge level would vary. The Bridgerton girls are particularly sheltered, though.
@@minnybri2010not during this particular period in history. It was polite society where the girls would have been watched all the time to keep their honour.

I love how Daphne was so interasted in the topic, but her mother forced her to continue playing the piano 😂
Right! Rewatching the scene I realize Daphne was just as confused as Eloise. Lol

@@daniels7907 I just wonder if she will tell her own daughters the truth.

For me Collin and Benedict were the best. Their dialog with Eloise and Violet...it was really funny😂
I always loved how she says “apparently it is not EVEN a requirement” and gestures sarcastically
It would be scary to believe you could get pregnant just on a whim, I'm sure it was pretty common for women to not know, and have that fear.

Children, girls especially were taught the facts of life from an early age, the character's ignorance is a plot device for the show.
@@thedemonnemo Yes but not upper class. They had no idea and for most of them the wedding night was completely unknown.

“Have you ever visited a farm?” 😂😂
COLIN BRIDGERTON!!!!
😂😂😂😂
lol Colin And Eloise makes me laugh so much!
This is the funnest scene in the Series. Eloise never got her answer. Lol
Ros Sen Lol poor Eloise!
In the series, Eloise says her favorite brother is benedict but in "To sir phillip with love" she says that Collin is her favorite-

Eloise was curious, and it was normal. Girls have all right to learn about sex, such a shame Lady Bridgerton didn't explain their daughters.

@@yanyan1077 they still had the learn about sex, Daphne was humilliated because of this when she was married.
@@lexiechans oh yes. Well… the mother did rather poorly explaining it the day before daphne’s wedding night/ wedding. In that I’ll say she’s at fault 😂😭
I feel so bad that they don't know how the maid got pregnant🤣🤣.
It wasn't actually a maid she was talking about Marina
Sex was not a topic mothers explained openly to their daughters, sad but true.
the actresses are over 30. can you believe that?
@@chaosspy672330 is young ! Why do people think that crossing 30 makes one an aunty?
@rachana777 that's not what I said. some people can't pass for a teenager in their twenties but this woman is 30 and is very believable for playing a teen. you can't tell me that every 30 year old can do that
I think that this was their version of contraception 😂 ignorance and fear of being abandoned by society
I love Eloise! She is awesomely funny!
I like this girl!!! She is funny, direct and Has a great sense of humor 😂😂
My favourite scene had me in stitches
I hope they go to a farm one day
They most certainly own several. But a young lady like Eloise would not likely have spent any time visiting them.
In one of the books Eloise and Francesca paid a maid for an explanation.
@@AntheaMac84 - Which is actually something that was not at all uncommon. The surprising part being that the idea hadn't occurred to Eloise. She certainly knew that she could bribe the coachman to take her to intercept Lady Whistledown without a chaperone.
I guess now that Pen knows, she’ll probably tell Eloise once they become friends again lol
1:12 😂
This prompts an interesting question especially after watching part 1 of season 3. Did Pen know but pretended not to or was she in the dark like Eloise?
I don't watch this show. Someone tell me: does she ever find out? I have to know.
Not yet
Does anyone remember which episode is it in?
A bit late, but... 1x02 😅
Yea when i were teenagers my grandmother told me that I could get pregnant just by touching the man's hand!...I was too afraid just to accidentally touch with their hand 😅...
How sheltered do you have to be??
Girls of polite society were not told how pregnancy happened and were not told about sex until before their wedding.
@@bufficliff8978 That's horrifying.
