How Real Is Sex And The City?
Sex & The City Is More True-To-Life Than You'd Expect. Here's What You Can Learn About Women & Sex From The Show.
On Sex and the City , Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) lives the high life and writes about sex and relationships whilst sleeping with a few men here and there in search of the perfect man.
Her friends — Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), the woman who will sleep with anything that has a penis and a pulse; Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), the successful, independent woman who always ends up in bed with the weirdos; and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), who believed that marriage was the be all end all of love, life and the pursuit of happiness — all seem equally promiscuous and quirky.
Are these women real? Do you know anyone like them? Believe it or not, metropolitan women are more like these babes than you might think. Is it just a fact of life that women who are unmarried and over 30 become promiscuous naturally? Of course not, it's a conscious decision they make.
There was a time when virtually all young girls grew up envisioning their wedding day and a future filled with children and wifely duties. Those days are long gone and with every new generation, this little dream seems to be obsolete.
single and sexy
In walk the beautiful, single 30-somethings talking about sex — how good it is and how good it can be. Every morning you can find the Sex and the City characters talking about penis size, session lengths and men's quirks amid breakfast. Do all women do that? Well, I can safely say that some do.
Have women really become so sex oriented that they've become blind to love, marriage and the whole nine yards? Well, obviously not, since Carrie fell for Mr. Big and Aidan — even though she did sleep with a married Big while she was dating Aidan. Go figure. It seems monogamy is dead on both sides of the coin. At least from this show's perspective.
Samantha, by far the most promiscuous of the bunch, finally fell in love, but to her dismay, she caught the man she loves doing to her what she did to most of the men that came and went in her life — he cheated. I guess what comes around goes around.
Do women think the show's true to life? What about men?
do women believe it?
Asking many women if they watch the show garnered a very enthusiastic "yes." But when I asked how close the show was to their real lives, only a handful of city women agreed that there were quite a few similarities between the characters and them and their friends.
"It's escapism," said one woman. "This show is to women what porn is to men. Chances are they won't be having that amount of sex with that many men, but living vicariously through the characters gives them that little piece of satisfaction." I guess the show is somewhat of an ongoing soft porn flick with a very mind-teasing plot.
"Women of the millennium are having more sex and with more partners," said Tamara, a 27-year-old psychology student. "Many women are becoming aggressors and no longer feel the need to maintain a chaste reputation. Have you ever seen the way young women behave during spring break or at Mardi Gras? It's a virtual free-for-all."
"Even if a woman told a man that she wouldn't sleep with him until marriage," she continued, "chances are he'd head for the first exit, or cheat on her entire time. Men can get sex much more easily today than they could've in my parents' heyday. Marriage isn't a prerequisite for getting laid anymore."
So casual sex has become as common as having coffee with a buddy in the big city. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Think about it; let's say (for argument's sake) a woman saves herself until she's about 25 years of age. Then she sleeps with a man. They break up after a few months. Then she meets another man and after a couple of months, she sleeps with him. Then they break up.
If this woman dates 3 men a year, she'll have slept with 15 men by the time she's 30. So even if a woman isn't having casual sex, but is dating a man seriously and things simply "don't work out ," she's left single and with another notch on her bedpost simply through the fate she mapped out for herself. Maybe Carrie and her friends are n't that far off from reality after all.
do guys believe it?
Many men admit to enjoying this show because it gives them an "in" to women's minds. But when I asked if they think that art imitates life, one guy confessed, "If there are any women who are even remotely like Samantha, I have yet to encounter them." He went on to say that the women he knew that were in fact sexually insatiable, also resembled Mimi from the Drew Carey Show .
But most of the men I encountered admitted that they believe that women get together to talk about sex and men's performances, even if most women deny it vehemently. When asked if they've had one-night stands with women whose last names they never got, more than 85% of the over 100 guys I spoke with said "yes." I guess the women were out on the prowl because we all know that women usually have the deciding vote in whether or not you're going to get any.
Nevertheless, when asked for the lowdown on what they think of each character on the show, the following were the most common answers given:
Carrie : Good for a relationship, but not long-term.
Samantha : Good for sex and oral sex, but no relationship.
Miranda : Good as a friend, she can help men with their relationships.
Charlotte : Frightening because she only thinks of marriage.
we're all self-serving
Although it's hard to believe that many women live the crazy lifestyle that the four babes of the popular hit series enjoy, there is nevertheless an element of truth to the show. After all, where are all the ideas coming from?
When asked how much of the show's themes come from the writing team's personal experience, executive producer Michael Patrick King admitted, "A lot It's amazing how many, many stories a room full of women writers in their thirties have."
