Kim Cattrall Isn’t a Sex Expert
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Features,
The 55-year-old actress is famous for playing maneater Samantha Jones in the Sex and the City TV series and films, but she insists she is no more knowledgeable about lovemaking than anyone else.
"I'm no expert on sex but I've felt under huge pressure in the past to be one, because of the characters I've played. The thing that changed everything for me was becoming sexually happy. I'd not been for years, but then I was with a partner who was sensitive and who listened."
But Kim does think Sex and the City helped women from a range of backgrounds feel more comfortable to talk about erotic acts: "One of the great things about Sex and the City was that it addressed sexuality with humor. It's not all about the orgasms ... it's about the journey!"
Although Kim is keen to play down her sexual knowledge, the blonde bombshell also co-wrote the 2002 book Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm with her now ex-husband Mark Levinson.

Kim Cattrall Clueless About Men
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Dating, Hook-ups,
Despite her on screen cougar personality, Kim Cattrall is clueless about men.
The Sex and the City actress - who plays maneater Samantha Jones in both the TV series and on the big-screen - insists she doesn’t know much about the opposite sex and just accepts people for who they are. Kim - who has been married three times - said:
“I’m dating again, but I know nothing about men. They remain a mystery to me, other than that they are predictable. I think a man shows you on the first date who he is, so that’s when you should be very aware. But I don’t think that you can change anybody. They are who they are. I think that’s the secret to a successful marriage, or a successful relationship, accepting the other person for who they are.”
The 53-year-old star also admitted she sometimes finds it tough being single, but relies on her friends to get her through the hard times. She told Parade, “I’m single at the moment, and sometimes you get very lonely being single. Sometimes it’s tough. It’s great to have girlfriends in my life that I can call, just like the characters do in Sex and the City. They get you through the rough times and you also have some amazing, fun times with them.”
Kim Cattrall Says Cougar Stereotype is Over

Kim Cattrall wants to make the most of being comfortable with sex.
The 51-year-old actress - famed for her man-eating character in the Sex and the City series and movies - says she’s over the trend of older women dating younger men and thinks the stereotype of a so called “cougar” is dead.
“Cougar is passe. I think we’re on to something else now. It’s not about kitten or cougar - we’re moving beyond those stereotypes. It’s about so much more than just being a woman on the prowl - there’s a lot more going on than that. We’ve done the work, let’s enjoy the party. Let’s not limit ourselves to labels. ‘Cougar’ makes it all feel one-dimensional. It’s not.”
Kim, who recently split from her toyboy chef boyfriend Alan Wyse, says she owes a lot to her on-screen alter-ego for showing the world that women who enjoy sex also have other important things going on in their lives: “It’s why I feel ‘cougar’ is way over now. It’s gone beyond that. It’s about a fully realized woman who works and plays and is successful and does all those things on her own terms. That’s much more rounded than a cougar could ever be.”
