So I recently signed up for Netflix and some of the first DVD’s I got sent to me were episodes of “Sex and the City.” With the movie up I had to try and get into the mood, right. Besides, I’ve only ever seen this show on TBS and The CW, so they’re all altered and dubbed and not the original way they were meant to be seen. So I figured, why not, I’ll watch some of the original versions.
Now I’m a fan of the show, but as I’m watching it the other night, I began to think about a question that had been posed to me earlier that day. Do people in real life behave like the women on this show? Now I know what you’re saying, it’s a SHOW. You can’t compare it to real life. I’m not talking about the actual situations and plots, but rather the candid nature of their language and subject matter. Perhaps my friends and I are prude, but I have never seen women in real life talk about sex in such explicit detail and have no fear about discussing their love lives. Don’t get me wrong, we talk about men, but not have I been exposed to such candid language. To those women, no subject is off limits. Even with my closest friends, I still feel like there are certain things that I wouldn’t feel comfortable discussing. Perhaps that’s why this show was so popular, women get exposed to conversations they wouldn’t normally have or hear. It’s like Cosmo on tv.
Anyway, that was my random thought of the day. Do you know or are you one of these women who talk so candidly about sex?
