Kristin Davis Reflects on Filming Intimate Scenes in Sex and the City

In a recent interview, Kristin Davis reflected on her discomfort while filming sex scenes for 'Sex and the City' without intimacy coordinators, stating she felt 'confused' and 'scared' during the early days of the series. She expressed that the portrayal of intimacy was more aligned with the 'male gaze' rather than catering to female viewers, leading to concerns about the necessity of the numerous intimate scenes. Davis highlighted the varying comfort levels among the cast, noting that Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones, was 'fearless' while Sarah Jessica Parker, portraying Carrie Bradshaw, was the 'most protected' and often uncomfortable with nudity. Cynthia Nixon, on the other hand, seemed indifferent to the boundaries during intimate scenes, which concerned Davis. Over time, Davis noted, the approach to filming such scenes evolved, allowing the cast to have more input and focus on their comfort. She emphasized that had intimacy coordinators been present, discussions around these scenes would have been more beneficial for the cast.
