Why Do Historical TV Dramas Turn Us On?

Media depictions of historical sex reflect several common fantasy themes.
  • More than one-third of adults report having fantasies about sex in historical settings.
  • Fantasizing about sex in varied settings (past, present, and future) is a handy way of meeting our need for novelty.
  • Many people romanticize the courtship practices of the past, which stand in stark contrast to modern, online dating.
  • Historical sex fantasies are linked to having more fantasies about virginity themes.
BridgertonOutlanderHarlots, and The Tudors are just a few of the many popular period dramas that have gotten people hot and bothered in recent years. Yes, there is a lot of sex in general on television today, but sex scenes set long ago in the past seem to be increasingly common—and in demand. Indeed, Bridgerton's steamy sex scenes in its debut season helped it to become one of the most-watched series of all time on Netflix.
People seem to be horny for historical sex. Why?
