Five Things You Can Do to Battle Sex and the City Mania
Posted at 3:25 PM May 27, 2008
1. Instead of visiting the sites that the Sex and the City characters hung out in, create your own personal tour of the places in New York that are your sexy hot spots (the bar bathroom you gave a drunken blow job in, the restaurant you had a terribly hilarious date in, etc).
2. Build your fantasies around actual personal achievement and adventure (sexual and otherwise), not wardrobe and housing.
3. Demand better sex writing. Carrie Bradshaw "I wonder"-isms aren't actually all that insightful. She may look cute typing away at her Mac, but Carrie isn't really digging in. Seek out good writing about sex and relationships that doesn't prescribe a solution to all your woes.
4. Learn about the world of sex toys beyond "the rabbit." Just because it's the ultimate vibrator for a fictional character doesn't mean it's the perfect companion for any woman.
5. Have some (preferably lots of) sex instead of talking about it over brunch. Whether it's with yourself or with one or five of your sexy friends, clock some sweaty time on the sheets.

Thank you! I'm so sick of Sex and the City. I'm *really* tired of hearing about the goddamn Rabbit as the be all and end all of vibes. You know what? I hate the Rabbit. It was annoying. I don't want pink animals on my dildo.

I concur. Ran into four SATC t-shirt clad girls at the Pleasure Chest, all looking at the Rabbit and trying to be Carrie. Thank god there are still people who believe in the real world and not these fictional fantasy lives.
