16 Things ‘Sex and the City’ Taught Us About Sex
16 Things ‘Sex and the City’ Taught Us About Sex (continued):
11. Bad Bedroom Behavior
Sex and the City is still a go-to resource for dealing with unusual sexual antics. Not that anyone has all the answers, and who’s to say what is considered unusual, but the series and its lead characters pave the way for some interesting conversations about those very things.
What do you do when a handsome politician asks you to pee on him? How do you handle a submissive with a sex dungeon in the closet? Are you able to stomach baby talk or any talk at all during the act? What about threesomes or spanking?
When trying to sidestep an array of sexual landmines, turn to Sex and the City.
12. Everybody Goes Through Dry Spells
Even the most attractive and desirable among us mere mortals can find themselves going … without.
Whether a lack of sexual activity is a matter of design or destiny, it can be extremely frustrating. But like all droughts, this one will come to an end. In the meantime, you can always find other ways to fill the void: like consuming copious amounts of candy.
13. It’s Okay for Women to Initiate and Enjoy Sex
So often on TV and movies, women are portrayed as sexual objects as opposed to sexual beings.
Sex and the City delivers four main characters — each very different — who love everything about sex: doing it, talking about it, watching it, fantasizing about it, and writing about it. No slut-shaming allowed.
14. As Long as You’re Into It …
If some tookus lingus is your thing, just go for it. Is role-playing more your bag? Go for it (and dish about it with your besties).
Savor those erotic dreams. But if anything gives you a reason to take a pause, stay true to what makes you feel good and comfortable.
15. Don’t Sleep with a Married Ex
Going where you’ve gone before might feel exciting at first, but it turns seedy fast.
Your friends may not judge you for this bad behavior, but the universe might. No matter what, you won’t walk away unscathed.
16. Remember Your Priorities
No matter how mind-blowing the sex, no matter how cute the guy, be sure to put yourself first. Don’t be the girl who feels incomplete without a man. Don’t ditch your friends because, as any Sex and the City fan knows, they’re your real soulmates.
