The cover of Time Out, NY read ‘No Sex’, showing Carrie and her clan posing with gaffe tape, photo shopped over their mouths… possibly to shut them up. No such luck.

The article aims to offer victims 1,965 Carrie-free safe houses in the form of restaurants, venues, activities that hope to provide members of the public, who are suffering from the Sex-ual assault, a place free of the pursed up perpetrators.

Perhaps this is in response to stiletto-clad women everywhere going into overdrive at the thought of being actually able to pay to watch two and a half hours of Sex in The City with their friends. Kinky.

Sex this week has been a girl-on-girl affair with the celebrity bloggers and newspapers of almost every description covering the clothes of the now mature lady stars, who have been sexing it up at the premiers all over the world.

But does sex sell?

Always, especially if you arrived dressed for it wearing a ridiculous green hat. This said,  it’s the performance in the sack that will always get one rave reviews.

It seems Carrie and the crew might have been better just talking about ‘sex in the city’, rather than filming it – just like a relationship the second time round, it has left both critics and fans a little lukewarm.

Perhaps it would be better drunk?

What should have been a holy pilgrimage  for fans and reviewers has ended up being like wowing karma sutra experts with The Missionary Position.

“For a series so steeped in romance, the eagerly awaited Sex and the City movie feels a trifle half-hearted,” said one online review.

“They were the role models for a generation of thirty-something women - the four glamorous New York friends whose lives revolved around sex and shopping. But now that Sex and the City has finally reached the big screen four years after the television show ended, will it still touch women in the same way?” questions another publication.

To answer that question, unless they are women of the getting oldish variety, chances are no! For the Mary-Kate Olsen’s of the world, it’s like watching their mothers on screen. Fabulous mothers, but mothers all the same.
 
In their defence, women are said to reach their sexual peak at forty, so Carrie and her crew can expect some pyjama parties to be thrown in their honour.  For some women, there is no such thing as too much sex. For others, Sex and the City is a chance for those who are just not getting any to score.
