'Sex and the City' Moves Sexcapades Into 40s
Upcoming Feature Film Shows 'Women Can Have Sex at Any Age'
The actress -- who got her start as wholesome "Annie" on Broadway -- has paired up with director Michael Patrick King to reunite the show's stars, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.
And according to some press teasers, there will be some heartbreaks as Carrie continues her longtime relationship with "Mr. Big," who, according to some reports dies.
"When you're 20, you know, your heart is broken at work, in life, in romance," Parker told Rolling Stone's Peter Travers for "Popcorn" on ABC News Now. "You could go to a friend's house in sweat pants or you could hang out at a bar. You could have a meal and you could actually be distracted, and you'd really do fine. Much like a physical injury, you bounce back."
Icons for 20-Somethings
The Manolo-strutting "Sex and the City" girls have become icons not just for gay audiences but for the 20-something crowd, which is expected to flock to theaters in droves.
"I am a total fan, and I think its buzz is so huge and have not heard one bad thing," said E! Online's Malkin.
Women approaching 40 and beyond have proved they, too, can attract younger men, like Samantha and boy toy Jerry "Smith" Jerrod.
Off-screen, Catrall, the 52-year-old actress who plays Samantha, is also the poster child for "cougar" -- with a 28-year-old boyfriend, Canadian chef Alan Wyse. She also wrote the book "Sexual Intelligence."
And then there's Demi Moore, 45, and Ashton Kutcher, 30. Mariah Carey, 38, married actor and rapper Nick Cannon, 27. Their sexual prowess doesn't seem to emasculate their young lovers.
"Frankly, most men are pigs and when they are having more sex and more kinky sex [they] are really happy," said Malkin. "It completely widens the pool and, let's admit it, there are a lot of men who have major hang-ups about sex and [it's a good thing] when women come out of their shell."
Today's middle-aged woman is a far cry from her dowdy and prudish mother.
"Women can be sexual at any age," Sari Locker, sexologist and author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex," told ABCNEWS.com.
"With advances today in both plastic surgery and fitness centers everywhere, and even the information about eating healthy out there, not to mention the beauty industry, women are really looking for youth far later in life," she said.
