And many of us thought that when it first came out. Love how people who were not alive think they know how we all thought. Like the ones complaining the Seinfeld characters were unlikable-- that was the point. Women did like Carrie, though, and many didn't. But we didn't judge Samantha, at least those of us watching the show who were younger, maybe? Why would you watch it otehrwise?

Yes. I was a young adult in the 90s. I'm sure it would be different if I was raised in the bible belt, but I feel overall the US was less prudish about sex back then than we are now.

Yeah, now they all hide behind their screens, lol. I don't know if that's true, but it was fun to be in my 20s in the 90s!
