1. New York City is all about sex.
Copy !req
2. People getting it, people trying to get it,
and people who can't get it.
Copy !req
3. No wonder the city never sleeps.
It's too busy trying to get laid,
Copy !req
4. but if you ever actually do manage to get
someone in bed,
Copy !req
5. the real fun begins.
Copy !req
6. That's the kind with nuts in it.
Copy !req
7. We love our nuts.
Copy !req
8. After sleeping together for many weeks,
Copy !req
9. Mr Big and I had gotten comfortable
enough to really sleep together.
Copy !req
10. It was nice. It was the way
I'd always dreamed it could be.
Copy !req
11. - Good morning.
- Morning.
Copy !req
12. - Was that you?
- Oh, my God.
Copy !req
13. - I think it might be worse under there.
- Shut up!
Copy !req
14. I hadn't dressed so quickly since getting
caught in the boy's dorm sophomore year.
Copy !req
15. - Wait, don't you want some coffee?
- Gosh. I'm late for a thing.
Copy !req
16. Oh, my God. I was mortified.
Copy !req
17. I didn't call him the rest of the day.
Copy !req
18. I tried to lose myself in work,
but every time I stopped to think,
Copy !req
19. I'd relive my hell all over again.
Copy !req
20. The next day I realised
how childish I was behaving.
Copy !req
21. I decided to stop avoiding the situation
and take the grown-up approach,
Copy !req
22. complete and utter denial.
Copy !req
23. So I saw the Met is opening
a new Goya exhibit.
Copy !req
24. - Do you want to go this Saturday?
- Sure.
Copy !req
25. - Could you get me more sauce, please?
- I most certainly can.
Copy !req
26. We have to stop and see the Renoirs.
I love the Renoirs.
Copy !req
27. OK.
Copy !req
28. There's a moment in every relationship
where romance gives way to reality.
Copy !req
29. You know what? I'm exhausted.
Copy !req
30. - Be all right if we just call it a night?
- Sure.
Copy !req
31. - Sorry. Good night.
- Night.
Copy !req
32. That was the first night
we slept together and didn't make love.
Copy !req
33. By the next week it was three times
in a row, I was beginning to worry.
Copy !req
34. Three times?
Try three months.
Copy !req
35. - No.
- Yes!
Copy !req
36. Now would be a good time
to wipe that horrified look off your face.
Copy !req
37. Sorry, sweetie. I just...
I didn't know. Where have I been?
Copy !req
38. You've been having sex.
I've been renting videos. It's tragic.
Copy !req
39. I'm two rentals away
from some free Gummy Bears.
Copy !req
40. - Relax. You're just in a dry spell.
- I can't believe you said that.
Copy !req
41. You're all freaked out about three times.
I'm talking three months.
Copy !req
42. It's different.
Not doing it when you're with someone
Copy !req
43. means more than not doing it
when you're not with someone.
Copy !req
44. What are you worried about?
Copy !req
45. I thought you said everything felt
comfortable and great.
Copy !req
46. - Yeah, well, maybe too comfortable.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
47. I farted.
Copy !req
48. - I farted in front of my boyfriend.
- And?
Copy !req
49. And we're no longer having sex.
And he thinks of me as one of the boys.
Copy !req
50. And I'm gonna have to move to another city
where the shame of this won't follow me.
Copy !req
51. - You farted. You're human.
- I don't want him to know that.
Copy !req
52. I mean, he's this perfect guy.
He walks around his perfect apartment,
Copy !req
53. with his perfect suit.
He's just perfect, perfect, perfect!
Copy !req
54. And I'm the girl who farts.
No wonder we're not having sex.
Copy !req
55. You're insane!
It's been three times. It's perfectly normal.
Copy !req
56. Says who?
Copy !req
57. Say it's not the...
then what else is going on?
Copy !req
58. Is it normal to share a bed and not do it?
Copy !req
59. - It depends what's normal for you.
- God, I hate that.
Copy !req
60. Who am I to know what's normal?
Copy !req
61. I haven't dated in a hundred years.
I don't have a clue.
Copy !req
62. Well, three months is not normal for me.
Copy !req
63. One month was interesting.
Two was numbing.
Copy !req
64. Three months, I'm going out of my mind.
Copy !req
65. There are 1.3 million single men
in New York and 1.8 million single women.
Copy !req
66. Of these more than 3 million people,
about 12 think they're having enough sex.
Copy !req
67. How often is normal?
Copy !req
68. I have to masturbate three times a day
just to make it through.
Copy !req
69. Some people take coffee breaks,
I take jerk off breaks.
Copy !req
70. They say the average 33-year-old woman
has sex 3.5 times a week.
Copy !req
71. I'd like to know who that woman is.
Copy !req
72. My wife and I haven't had sex
since the baby was born.
Copy !req
73. The baby's applying to Yale next fall.
Copy !req
74. Once, one time a day,
but two time on special day.
Copy !req
75. Normal is the halfway point
between what you want and what you get.
Copy !req
76. Even in the plough position, I could
count on Samantha for sexual clarity.
Copy !req
77. - Good. Move to downward facing dog.
- Woof
Copy !req
78. With him, I could do it
every hour on the hour.
Copy !req
79. Do you think it means something if Big and
I sleep together but don't sleep together?
Copy !req
80. - The truth?
- When have I ever wanted that?
Copy !req
81. - Yeah, OK, tell me.
- I think there's trouble.
Copy !req
82. Sex is a barometer
for what's going on in the relationship.
Copy !req
83. I wasn't going to tell you this but...
Copy !req
84. - I farted.
- Then move your mat away.
Copy !req
85. Not now. I did it in front of Big.
Copy !req
86. - Huge mistake.
- You think?
Copy !req
87. - It wasn't a choice, I'm human.
- No honey, you're a woman.
Copy !req
88. Men don't like women to be human.
We aren't supposed to fart, douche,
Copy !req
89. use tampons,
or have hair in places we shouldn't.
Copy !req
90. A guy once broke up with me
because I missed a bikini wax.
Copy !req
91. I knew it.
This is a watershed relationship moment.
Copy !req
92. - I'm never gonna be able to erase it.
- Sure you will.
Copy !req
93. Go and fuck his brains out,
he'll forget all about it.
Copy !req
94. Men aren't that complicated,
they're like plants.
Copy !req
95. Concentrate. Quiet your insides.
Copy !req
96. - Now he tells me!
- Roll over on your backs.
Copy !req
97. Take goddess pose.
Let your breathing work with you.
Copy !req
98. In and out.
Copy !req
99. Would you like to go
for a coffee some time?
Copy !req
100. 45 minutes
and three animal positions later,
Copy !req
101. Samantha and Siddhartha were sipping
green tea at a health food restaurant -
Copy !req
102. Tofu Or Not Tofu.
Copy !req
103. I always feel so amazing after yoga.
Copy !req
104. My body feels so open, alive.
Ready for anything.
Copy !req
105. - Samantha.
- Yes.
Copy !req
106. I'm celibate. I practice tantric celibacy.
Copy !req
107. - I gave up sex three years ago.
- My God, why?
Copy !req
108. Or more importantly, why?
Didn't you like it?
Copy !req
109. I loved it.
I'd have sex morning, noon, and night,
Copy !req
110. sometimes three women a day
and I was always ready for more.
Copy !req
111. - Well, now you're just being cruel.
- No. It was all ego.
Copy !req
112. And where I am now
is so much better than sex.
Copy !req
113. - Come on honey, nothing's better than sex.
- Think about really good foreplay.
Copy !req
114. Your sexual energy
is just starting to awaken.
Copy !req
115. Now imagine a three-year foreplay
Copy !req
116. where all that sexual energy
is coursing through your body,
Copy !req
117. but it never gets released. It just recycles.
Copy !req
118. It builds, rises.
Copy !req
119. Until your entire being is humming
with that electric sexual energy.
Copy !req
120. - My apartment's just around the corner.
- The only thing hotter than sex...
Copy !req
121. is not having sex.
Copy !req
122. Amazingly,
talking dirty about not having sex
Copy !req
123. was the most sexually deviant act
Samantha had participated in for months.
Copy !req
124. The next night
when I met Charlotte for dinner,
Copy !req
125. I'd reached my own transcendental state.
Pure Mr Big obsession.
Copy !req
126. The first time he was tired
and the next two times...
Copy !req
127. I don't know.
I don't know. It's bad, isn't it?
Copy !req
128. Relax. Nothing's wrong
with your relationship.
Copy !req
129. - That's not all Charlotte, I...
- What?
Copy !req
130. I couldn't bring myself to tell her.
I was afraid she'd go spontaneously deaf.
Copy !req
131. I'm sorry. What were you saying?
Copy !req
132. People put too much emphasis
on the importance of sex.
Copy !req
133. It's not the most
important thing in a relationship.
Copy !req
134. - Right.
- Take Kevin and I for example.
Copy !req
135. We've been going out for weeks
and we still haven't done it.
Copy !req
136. We touch and cuddle, but he's sweet.
Copy !req
137. He respects my boundaries and I like it.
It makes it special. There he is!
Copy !req
138. Meeting a friend's boyfriend
for the first time is always a little tense.
Copy !req
139. What if you don't like him?
Or he doesn't like you?
Copy !req
140. Kevin, this is my good friend, Carrie.
Copy !req
141. - Hey, Carrie.
- Hi.
Copy !req
142. What if you've already slept with him?
Copy !req
143. - You two know each other.
- Kind of.
Copy !req
144. - We used to go out.
- Well, kind of used to go out.
Copy !req
145. You two used to go out.
That's so funny. Isn't that funny?
Copy !req
146. That's my office. I gotta take this.
I'll be right back.
Copy !req
147. - OK, when?
- Three years ago.
Copy !req
148. Three years, I can live with that.
Copy !req
149. - Serious?
- No.
Copy !req
150. Good. Why'd you break up?
Copy !req
151. We were in different places and I just...
Copy !req
152. Carrie, we don't have time for diplomacy,
just tell me.
Copy !req
153. He's a sex maniac.
Copy !req
154. When Charlotte discovered that Kevin had
tucked his libido away for her comfort level,
Copy !req
155. she was even more moved by his restraint.
Copy !req
156. I want you to know
how much I appreciate your patience.
Copy !req
157. You've been so patient with me.
It shows how much you really care.
Copy !req
158. And all that waiting
Copy !req
159. is gonna make it
all the more special for us now.
Copy !req
160. There's only gonna be one stop, thanks.
Copy !req
161. - I don't think this is gonna work.
- Why, is it me?
Copy !req
162. No, you're great.
I'm just not that sexual a guy.
Copy !req
163. It's me. I know it's me.
Copy !req
164. Carrie told me you were quite sexual,
in fact she used the word maniac.
Copy !req
165. That was before.
Copy !req
166. - Before what?
- Prozac.
Copy !req
167. Yeah, I used to be such a mess.
Mr Mood swing.
Copy !req
168. It's a total lifesaver.
Copy !req
169. The only down side is
it takes the air out of my tyres.
Copy !req
170. After a while, it's kind of like a taffy pull.
Copy !req
171. - That's OK. Don't worry about it.
- I don't.
Copy !req
172. I wish I could say I felt worse.
But to tell you the truth, these days,
Copy !req
173. nothing gets me down.
Copy !req
174. You want to watch a movie?
Copy !req
175. Terrified of going to Mr Big's for what could
become another platonic sleepover,
Copy !req
176. I paced my apartment and tried not to think
about our lack of sex when...
Copy !req
177. There they were my new neighbours,
Mr and Mrs Get-it-on.
Copy !req
178. A couple so obviously into each other
there was only one thing to do...
Copy !req
179. watch.
Copy !req
180. Then something wonderful happened.
My desire overcame my fear.
Copy !req
181. Hi, it's me. Is it OK if I come over?
Copy !req
182. OK.
Copy !req
183. Across town at the corner
of Nirvana and West Third,
Copy !req
184. Siddhartha was helping Samantha
along her newfound path.
Copy !req
185. Blocks are connection to our inner life
and true identities.
Copy !req
186. - You're hard.
- I know.
Copy !req
187. Our addictions and attachments
are a way to block our spiritual hunger
Copy !req
188. - through unhealthy and dependent ways.
- You're still hard.
Copy !req
189. - It will go down.
- So can I.
Copy !req
190. I showed up at his apartment
feeling sexy and confident.
Copy !req
191. Wearing my secret weapon skirt
that really hugged my hips.
Copy !req
192. I was ready to go. He didn't have a prayer.
Copy !req
193. Very nice. Come on in.
I'm watching the fight.
Copy !req
194. Baby.
Copy !req
195. Carrie. Come on, come on.
Let me watch this.
Copy !req
196. Jesus! Would you knock it off?
I'm trying to watch this fight.
Copy !req
197. - Fine, I'll leave.
- What's up? Why are you acting so nuts?
Copy !req
198. Maybe I'm not perfect.
Maybe I don't fit into your perfect life,
Copy !req
199. with your perfect apartment, and your
pay-per-view fight. Maybe I should leave.
Copy !req
200. I stood there and waited for the obligatory,
he's-coming-to-stop-me ten seconds.
Copy !req
201. He didn't.
Copy !req
202. By the time I got home I was sure
he'd left an apology on my voice mail.
Copy !req
203. You have no new messages
in your mailbox.
Copy !req
204. I didn't sleep very well that night.
But I wasn't the only one.
Copy !req
205. After a night of spiritual reading
with her hunky guru,
Copy !req
206. Samantha began to feel things
she hadn't felt in a very long time,
Copy !req
207. frustrated and horny.
Copy !req
208. She decided it was time
to put an end to her suffering.
Copy !req
209. But just as she reached the place
Krishna once called the gateway to life,
Copy !req
210. she turned back and decided not to enter.
Copy !req
211. After all, she'd come this far,
she could continue not to come at all.
Copy !req
212. In an effort to get her mind off sex,
Copy !req
213. Miranda had rented a five-hour Danish
documentary on the Nuremberg trial.
Copy !req
214. - It actually worked until...
- Hey, gorgeous.
Copy !req
215. Why don't you quick drop this?
She's thinking about it!
Copy !req
216. Where you going so fast?
I got what you want. I got what you need.
Copy !req
217. Like every woman
consumed with a relationship problem,
Copy !req
218. I needed a project
to stop my mind obsessing
Copy !req
219. and my hands dialling his number.
Copy !req
220. Three months and one week.
Copy !req
221. Miranda needed
to keep her hands busy as well.
Copy !req
222. - Did he call?
- Nope.
Copy !req
223. - And it's been two days.
- Nice colour.
Copy !req
224. - Ecru?
- Egg shell.
Copy !req
225. Well, I think it's over.
I should never have farted.
Copy !req
226. Jesus! That's it. I've heard enough
about the fart. It's not the fart.
Copy !req
227. I know it's not the fart.
Copy !req
228. I think I'm in love with him and I'm terrified
he's gonna leave me 'cause I'm not perfect.
Copy !req
229. All right. Let's put the roller down
and go in the other room and talk.
Copy !req
230. The sex has stopped. He hasn't called.
Copy !req
231. What if he never calls and three weeks
from now I pick up the New York Times
Copy !req
232. and read that he's married some
perfect woman who never passes gas?
Copy !req
233. - When did you get obsessed?
- I don't know. It's something about him.
Copy !req
234. You should see me around him. I'm not like
me. I'm like "together Carrie".
Copy !req
235. I wear little outfits. You know,
"sexy Carrie" and "casual Carrie".
Copy !req
236. Sometimes I catch myself actually posing.
It's exhausting.
Copy !req
237. Then stop. Why don't you show him
more of this Carrie? She's pretty great.
Copy !req
238. What if he doesn't like her. Miranda?
Copy !req
239. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
240. - Look at them.
- I had no idea they did an afternoon show.
Copy !req
241. When a show is good, word gets around.
Copy !req
242. There we were,
the '90s version of matinee ladies.
Copy !req
243. Who said the theatre was dead?
Copy !req
244. Samantha, I can't believe
you'd give this up on purpose.
Copy !req
245. - Actually, I hardly miss it.
- How long has it been?
Copy !req
246. - A hundred years.
- It never goes down, does it?
Copy !req
247. - Look, it's still...
- Hard.
Copy !req
248. Gummy Bear, please.
Copy !req
249. Give me the candy!
Copy !req
250. Snapping over gummy bears
might be a sign that celibacy's not for you.
Copy !req
251. - My big pay off better be worth it.
- Samantha, I don't understand you.
Copy !req
252. There are people starving out there
and you're fasting.
Copy !req
253. Stop complaining.
At least you can take care of yourself.
Copy !req
254. I'm way beyond that point.
I've given myself carpal tunnel.
Copy !req
255. Sure. It's all fun
until you get to know each other.
Copy !req
256. Yeah, that move's
what they're famous for.
Copy !req
257. It's been an hour.
How can that guy still be...
Copy !req
258. Hard.
Copy !req
259. I have got to try this again with Kevin.
Copy !req
260. We really like each other.
That's got to be stronger than a drug, right?
Copy !req
261. I'm warning you ladies, if I make it
to four months, I'm humping one of you.
Copy !req
262. - Oh, my God.
- I hate them.
Copy !req
263. After the second show,
each of us went on with our Saturdays.
Copy !req
264. Miranda went to get a movie
and another pound of Gummy Bears.
Copy !req
265. It's my sweetheart! You look good, baby.
Good enough to eat.
Copy !req
266. Where you going, doll?
I got what you want. I got what you need.
Copy !req
267. - You talking to me?
- We got a live one boys.
Copy !req
268. You got what I want? You got what I need?
Copy !req
269. What I want is to get laid.
What I need is to get laid. I need to get laid.
Copy !req
270. - Take it easy, lady. I'm married.
- All talk and no action. What a cafone!
Copy !req
271. Yeah, she's something else.
Copy !req
272. Samantha decided
to channel her frustration at yoga.
Copy !req
273. Now release and breathe.
Copy !req
274. Unless you're planning to move
those hands down, get them off me.
Copy !req
275. Exhale and turn around.
Copy !req
276. She had reached
the end of her path and her patience.
Copy !req
277. Want to fuck?
Copy !req
278. Want to fuck?
Copy !req
279. Samantha spent the rest of the afternoon
having multiple yogasms.
Copy !req
280. Later that night Charlotte was
determined to prove she was stronger
Copy !req
281. than selective
serotonin re-uptake inhibitors.
Copy !req
282. - Isn't your arm getting tired?
- No, I think it's starting to work.
Copy !req
283. Charlotte, it's not,
and I'm beginning to chafe.
Copy !req
284. - You OK?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
285. I've just never been in this situation before.
Copy !req
286. Do you think you'll ever...
Copy !req
287. - Never mind.
- What, think I'll ever go off it?
Copy !req
288. - Yeah.
- Nope.
Copy !req
289. - Not even for me?
- Nope.
Copy !req
290. Wouldn't you rather be with a guy who's
kind and giving and not interested in sex,
Copy !req
291. than an unstable, oversexed prick,
who only wants to get laid?
Copy !req
292. Nope.
Copy !req
293. Once Charlotte realised she couldn't get
what she thought she didn't want,
Copy !req
294. she couldn't imagine going on without it.
Copy !req
295. Saturday night's dinner
came and went with no call from Big.
Copy !req
296. My life was suddenly shit,
but my cabinets were looking fabulous.
Copy !req
297. - Who is it?
- Me.
Copy !req
298. - Surprise.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
299. - What's all this?
- I'm painting.
Copy !req
300. - I can see that.
- Why didn't you call?
Copy !req
301. Why didn't you call?
Copy !req
302. So this is where you live.
Copy !req
303. - About time you invited me up.
- I didn't invite you.
Copy !req
304. I know.
Copy !req
305. It's nice. Very nice.
Copy !req
306. No, it's not. It's a mess.
Copy !req
307. The floors need to be stripped
and the curtains are...
Copy !req
308. I want to change a lot of it.
Copy !req
309. I don't know.
Copy !req
310. I like it.
Copy !req
311. I like it the way it is.
Copy !req
312. - What was that all about the other night?
- That was me.
Copy !req
313. - Having a meltdown.
- OK.
Copy !req
314. - Nice paint. Egg shell?
- Yes.
Copy !req
315. Did you know that there's a couple
humping outside of your window?
Copy !req
316. Really? I never noticed.
Copy !req
317. All I could think was,
why aren't we having sex?
