Sex and the City: Girl Talk for the Ages

Sex and the City 1998-2004- Girl talk for the ages
Written by: Pillow Talk Gal


If you are 25+ in age, you’ve probably seen at least one episode of this iconic show. Its appeal is undeniable and more often than not any viewer (male or female) walks away having learned something.

Witty banter can involve sexually hot topics, fashion trends, designers and of course the ever popular theme throughout the series L-O-V-E.

We follow the lives of four strong women who are fumbling through the complicated world of dating, love and sex. We become so intertwined with the issues they face, the audience is left feeling like we are a part of the group, and you know, just another one of the gals.

Through the eyes of Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes and Samantha Jones we are immersed into the lifestyle of living in New York City, where we visit places to grab a quick drink/dinner, see fabulous shops, art galleries and of course there are the endless cocktails (more specifically cosmopolitans, the drink that became synonymous with this show).

We follow these women through everything from intimate details about sex (it is called Sex and The City after all) to finding love, staying in love or even falling out of it. This show speaks to me on so many levels that I find watching it almost therapeutic.

For example, in season 5, episode 6 ‘’Critical Condition’’ Samantha decides to do some personal shopping which includes exchanging her defective vibrator to Sharper Image.

Of course her request is met with some surprise by the store clerk as he mentions that Sharper Image doesn’t sell vibrators (it is in fact a neck massager.)
 
None the less, that’s what Samantha has been using it for ‘’wink, wink, nudge, nudge’’.

After some interesting and witty exchanges between the two, the clerk succumbs to Samantha’s charm and tells her to pick another.
 
Onlookers in the store have been watching the exchange between the two and have come to the conclusion that she is some kind of vibrator guru (which of course we know she is). They begin to ask her questions as to which model would best suit their individual needs.
 
This scene is a perfect example of the way the show allows us to breach topics that otherwise might be considered risqué. After all, who among us hasn’t had the vibrator discussion with our own girlfriends?

Intervention.

Shape, size, color or even added features, vibrator talk is more common among the best of girlfriends than you would imagine. I can’t help but wonder though, for how many people is a vibrator better than the real thing?

Vibrators come in all shapes, sizes, colors and added features.

I mean, most single women I’ve spoken to say there’s no competition but are they saying this just to spare the feelings of their significant other?
 
In the case of someone who is in a married committed relationship, does the eventual vibrator need arise after the relationship becomes routine and predictable or is it a question of keeping things fresh and interesting for both parties involved.
 

Maybe for some it starts out as a curiosity issue and evolves into a way to avoid intimacy with others.
 

Think about it, a vibrator can’t hurt your feelings, doesn’t act selfish and can never break up with you.
 

It’s always there for you and never asks for anything in return... just new batteries.
 

So the question is where do we draw the line between recreational use and dependence on a battery operated relationship?
