Sex and the City S4 Ep1-4: A Retro SSL Review

My new little segment is back for a 10th round. It's a modified, lazy version of an SSL Review. It's just me transcribing my notes, page by page, on all of the Sex and the City episodes. I watched them all - not necessarily in order - during 2007 and 2008, and I took notes on the depiction/discussion of female orgasm and female masturbation. It was my early attempt at this type of lady-gasm review stuff. Anyway, I never actually created reviews from these notes, but since they exist, I'd like to get them out there on the interwebs before they get burned in a house fire or something...thus this series.

Anyway, the fun of this will be that I will transcribe these as word for word as I can while still trying to make it be a sensible read. I'll post a pick of the notes for your reference. I'll do one or more episodes at a time - from the beginning of the notebook to the end. I may add notes for clarification or add my SSL-Review-style comments.

Hopefully the notes I took privately 10 years ago won't make me look like a dumb asshole. I will add them in the TV SSL Review Master List  (of course you are also welcome to check out the Movie SSL Review Master List as well). Here we go.

SATC Notes S4 Ep 1-4

Season 4  Ep 1

- Charlotte tries to have sex w/ her husband, but he comes - outside like a second after they started making out. They just stopped. She said, "this isn't working."

-Samantha masturbated all afternoon. Miranda says she likes to get in and out (then they all talk about who they masturbate about). All of them masturbate and fantasize while they do it.

Season 4 Ep 2

- charlotte didn't want to look at her swanson.

Season 4 Ep 3

- Nothing

Season 4 Ep 4

- "Last night w/ Brad I had the most intense orgasm of my life." - Carrie said (she might be a freak, but) she used to have to be in love with someone to have that kind of orgasm.

-Samantha said, "well your clit didn't think so." - about something involving Cariie's mindblowing orgasm.

-"I want a bourbon, and I want to go down on you," Brad to Carrie (orgasm) still mind blowing.

- Samantha and lesbian lover - Sam tries to just go down, but lady says it's not working, needs to connect - "It is love making, not a porno flick."

- Carrie in missionary position, his but under covers moving in circles and she raises up in ecstasy.

- Charlotte getting pounded while sitting on a dresser. She looks happy but not orgasmic

- Sam looks at other girl's pussy, and goes "ooooh!"

-Charlotte says, "We finally got the penis working. I don't want to scare it. Can't I have sex and the relationship too?"

-Sam says size has nothing to do with it, fingesr can do a swirly pullback thing (she gestures) not poke poke (she gestures) but most importantly  - she learned it's connection.

- Miranda masturbates - pulls dildo out of drawer and turned on vibrator in it - and headed it south.

- Sam seemed to be doing something to woman with hand and then go hit in the face with ejaculate. Voice Over - "and then she found the elusive female ejaculation." Sam asked woman if that is good or bad - she said, "very good."

Modern Day Me Comments

1 Charlotte and her man's quick come problems

I mean, a man fucking ya is just a dick stimulating the inside of vagina, and that ain't likely to make a lady come anyway, so why all the fuss? I mean, I get it. sometimes it's fun to have a good pounding that lasts a minute. It can be hot. But really, if he comes too quick, then yay! - all the more reason for him to stimulate your clit (the thing you actually really do need to orgasm). Maybe he'll get really good at it, and maybe you'll actually have orgasms, Charlotte.

Moral: premature ejaculator  = more eating out =fuck yeah! That brings me to:

2 Carrie's cunnilingus lovin' man

So Carrie's dude likes to go down, and she's having badass orgasms as a result. Nothing new there, folks. Probably, she (a fictional character...that I guess I'm assuming a history for) was mostly getting banged by previous boyfriends and either not coming at all or faking it (from previous Carrie-orgasms-during-sex depictions that seems likely if you ask me).  Now she has someone who actually wants to stimulate her clit, and well, it's good.

I'm also going to give credit to the scene with these two in missionary because he's moving his hips real circle-y on top of her, and that gives the possibility that she's getting her clit stimulated consistently against his body. Although, as you know, I'm always skeptical at the likelihood of a woman coming during intercourse because the dude is moving to try and stimulate her clit. She's the one that know's what's working, so I really think the likelihood goes way, way up when she's controlling the hip motion, but whatever. At least we weren't shown Carrie orgasming as a result of him pounding her vag walls.

3 Sam's lesbian adventure

Of course, I love that Sam goes down on this lady, but to be honest, I feel like all the connection stuff they were laying on this lesbian she was doing was some gendered sex stereotyped shit. I mean, obviously, connection can be super important in sex, but it's so often assumed in our culture that women (and often particularly lesbians) are more about love and emotion in sex than we are about actual physical pleasure. I think that all stems from the fact that women don't have orgasms as much during sex given that we as a culture are largely ignorant about how women physically orgasm, so we women tend to focus on the things that seem attainable in sex, like love, emotion, connection. anyway, I would have loved to see less of that stereotype.

Also, she stimulated the ol' female prostate through the vaginal wall and got this lady to ejaculate. That's a thing that seems possible. I like that it was called an ejaculation not an orgasm, because they are not the same thing, but I'm always worried that the insinuation is that an ejaculation is some kind of amaze-balls orgasm, and it's not. It's not an orgasm at all. It's an ejaculation...without an orgasm, and some women might like it, but to insinuate it's a super-gasm is misleading.

4 Miranda and masturbation

One - love that they all had a conversation about masturbation. That they all say they do it, normalizes it, and I'm all for that. Two - I also like that she has a vibrator. It might look like a dildo, but it vibrates. We didn't actually see what she did with it, but I can only assume she laid that bitch on her clit and came like a mothafucka.
