Kristin Davis Reveals “Sex and the City” Creators Sought Cast’s Opinions on Oral Sex
Ah yes, the glamorous world of “Sex and the City,” where the fashion is fierce and the conversations can be downright scandalous. Kristin Davis recently spilled some tea on her podcast “Are You a Charlotte?” about how the show’s creators, Darren Star and Michael Patrick King, bravely sought input from the cast on the delicate topic of oral sex. Yes, you read that right; they approached the actresses—who were very much straight women—asking for their thoughts on a scene where Charlotte York, played by Davis, faced pressure from her date to, shall we say, perform a rather intimate act.
Davis recounted how the creators acknowledged their own identities as gay men and recognized the importance of getting genuine female perspectives. “How do you guys feel about blowjobs?” they asked, a question that surely sparked a variety of responses. And while Davis tactfully sidestepped the specifics of her personal feelings on the matter, she emphasized the show’s commendable effort to present diverse viewpoints on sexuality. “Different women want different things,” she quipped, and honestly, isn’t that just the truth?
The conversations didn’t just stay in the realm of humor; they touched on deeper themes of autonomy and empowerment. Davis pointed out how her character’s narrative evolved from being pressured to embrace her sexuality to fully owning it in the reboot, “And Just Like That.” Now, Charlotte is happily married and confidently initiating intimate moments, showcasing an inspiring character arc that reflects real-life growth in understanding sexual agency.
As Davis revisits these early episodes, she muses on the changes in production dynamics, recalling a time when intimacy coordinators were but a dream. Clearly, the landscape of television has shifted dramatically. So, let’s take a moment to appreciate the strides made in representation and communication in the industry. There you have it—another captivating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of one of TV’s most iconic shows.
