Samantha Jones, Sex and the City

Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrell): On Sex in the City, the only on screen same-sex female relationship in 6 seasons was considered “experimental.”

Samantha was depicted as confident, outspoken, and sexually promiscuous, and she proclaimed herself to be a “try-sexual”, meaning she would try everything once. Samantha was shown to only be interested in sex with men until Season 4, when she started dating a female artist, Maria. She then told her friends that “Yes, ladies. I’m a lesbian”. However, the relationship didn’t last long as Samantha declared that she was “sick of all the talking” that came with dating a woman, she missed men too much, and she couldn’t fully commit to any relationship.
