In the pilot episode of this hit comedy series, New York City sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her friends vow to stop worrying about finding the perfect mate--and start having sex like men.

Miranda makes the mistake of going out with a 'modelizer' (someone who is obsessed with models); Samantha chooses to go out with a modelizer and has her sexual encounter videotaped; Carrie experiments with Derek-the-model and flirts with Mr. Big.

Carrie is invited to a couple's house in the Hamptons only to be flashed by the husband, Miranda's law firm thinks she's a lesbian and Samantha gets to know her doorman better. Meanwhile, Charlotte dumps an eligible guy with the wrong china pattern.

Carrie discovers the limitations of going out with a twenty-something hunk, Charlotte's boyfriend has a sexual favor to ask, and Samantha comes to the sobering realization that she'll always be older than her boy toy.

Carrie goes on a date with a gorgeous French architect, who shows his 'thanks' with a thousand dollars. Meanwhile, a famous painter uses Charlotte as one of his models and Skipper becomes sexually obsessed with Miranda.

Carrie thinks Mr. Big is keeping her a 'secret' while Miranda discovers a sex secret about her new boyfriend. Samantha has never been discreet with anyone she's ever slept with, and Charlotte divulges her past secret love affair with a Hasidic Jew.

Carrie wants a monogamous relationship with Mr. Big, while Samantha refuses to have one with her realtor. Miranda's feelings for Skipper intensify, while Charlotte is faced with her new boyfriend's sexual demands.

Carrie discovers not only that Mr. Big was married before, but that he and his ex participated in a threesome. Meanwhile, Charlotte's boyfriend wants to add another woman to their relationship. Samantha becomes too involved with a married couple.

Mr. Big tells Carrie he will never marry again. After a harsh dumping, Samantha tries to turn 'The Turtle' (an investor with bad breath) into a Helmut Lang-wearing catch. Meanwhile, Miranda introduces Charlotte to 'The Rabbit.'

A baby shower for Laney--a wild-child-turned-soccer-mom--gets the girls thinking about their futures. Carrie is late for her period. Charlotte is fearful she may never have the daughter for which she has been preparing her whole life.

An accidental emission has Carrie certain that she and Mr. Big will never share a bed again. The last three months have Miranda convinced she will never share a bed with any man again. Tantric celibacy leaves Samantha craving old-fashioned sex.

In the Season One finale, Mr. Big introduces Carrie to his mother as his friend, causing Carrie to ponder just where their relationship is headed. Miranda breaks up with Catholic Guy because of his sexual hang-ups.
