Actress Thembi Seete’s sex scene on Showmax’s Adulting has once again sparked mixed reactions from internet users.
For the show’s second season, Thembi takes on the role of Portia, a middle-aged, rich housewife who is at her sexual peak. The Kwaito Queen previously told Showmax about the character she portrays: “We know, as women, being spoiled is not enough. You still want care, love, and someone to come back home to you and say, ‘I missed you’. That’s the part that’s lacking in Portia’s life.”
In the latest episode of Adulting, Luthando BU Mthembu’s characters Vuyani and Portia are seen participating in a jump-squat sex position, something that got the internet talking.
Many gathered on X (formerly Twitter) to share their views on Thembi and her steamy sex scene:

Others defended the star, saying:
It’s okay for Regina King, Nia Long to do sex scenes at their Sassa age but you draw the line when a 46 year old Thembi Seete does a sex scene….. pic.twitter.com/Rw4aN8JmG1

Thembi Seete is an actress, so I don’t see anything wrong with her role on #adultingshowmax

Speaking to Showmax about her sex scenes with Luthando, Thembi shared, “He made me so comfortable so I don’t think about myself too much. That’s the beauty about acting – it allows you to forget about yourself and to wear this character. I was able to put Thembi aside and be about Portia. But it’s also a blessing and a cherry on top when you have a co-actor that is as supportive and confident.”
