Samantha's past

When Sex and the City first came out I didn't know what it was about and I wasnt one of the ones that watched it from beginning to end until it became more popular. I did think it was interesting how they portrayed all four women, especially Samantha when it came to sex. I liked how all the women were different. They weren't carbon copies of each other at all. You always knew who was who pretty much by what they said. What threw me off is the fact that they seemed to jump into bed with men rather quickly, excluding Samantha. I remember watching an episode where Carrie was with Aidan and she was pushing to have sex after only about a week of dating which I thought was crazy. Carrie was acting like the man and Aidan was actually telling her that they needed more time. I think it was one of the few episodes where Carrie was shown as being more of a "man" by pressuring sex and I didn't like the way she looked. I think the name of that episode was actually called ARE WE SLUTS. I thought after that episode they would slow down and enjoy the courting and drag it on more, if not the others then at least Carrie but it seemed like she just went back into the sack just as quickly as before. My favorite episode with Samantha was when she decided to have a relationship with a lesbian because throughout the entire season we are shown how much she loves men so I never expected her to get with a woman. I do like that her true colors where shown and it certainly didn't take long. She had men from her recent past drop by to have sex and flirting with her infront of her new girlfriend so it seemed a bit more realistic to me. It seems that even when Samantha should be learning about her mistakes she doesn't. She is proud of the men she has slept with and keeps doing it. There was also an episode where she went to get tested and couldn't remember the amount of partners she had had. For most women that would have scared them into reality and maybe be a little more careful about who to sleep with but Samantha was only worried about catching aids and when she didn't she went back to her normal self. In the end the only thing that managed to tame her was love and I think that is what made her the most relatable. We finally saw her soft spot towards the end and we realized that although she loved sex with many men and didn't apologize for it, she also wanted love.
When it came to the movies I realized that they weren't as good as the series. The first movie was ok. They all stayed true to character but I started noticing corny lines of dialogue that I hadn't noticed before and I thought it was way to long. The second movie had me gagging with the corny lines but it was very glossy and glamorous, which is why I watched it. It seems to me that the movies, especially the second one, started to promote more fashion and glamorous living instead of long lasting friendships like the series did.
