Sarah Jessica Parker says sex talk makes her embarrassed

Sarah Jessica Parker: “I am not comfortable having any kind of intimate conversation at all… I don’t like the tone and I don’t like the subject. It’s not like I think others who do it are morally corrupt and vulgar and crass. I’m just simply embarrassed.

“I don’t even want to think about what they’re talking about. And sometimes when I feel the landscape changes and all the heads move in, literally a friend will say ‘Oh wait, Sarah Jessica’s here.’ You know, and then they will talk about the primary or some other less ribald, salty, cheeky…”

Conan O’Brien: “Even the way you’re talking about it, it’s clear you’re not comfortable. You’re using 18th century language! ‘This cheeky display of emotion between man and his lady!’”

Sarah Jessica Parker: “Look I’m getting a rash… I wish I was inclined, because people love the topic, people like to be intimate…”

Parker said she has no moral objections to people talking about it, and that it’s a good thing that other people feel comfortable enough to discuss it.

Given how much trouble Parker had talking about sex on Conan you have to give her credit for getting over that and being able to have the frank sexual discussions that were common on Sex and The City. She must be able to separate that from her personal issues talking about it, because she looked completely mortified describing her problem with sex talk to Conan.

Parker’s “Sex and The City” costar and rumored on-set rival, Kim Cattrall, has authored two frank books on sex, “Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm” in 2002 with her then-husband, Mark Levinson, and “Sexual Intelligence” just last year. Unlike Parker, Cattrall seems to enjoy discussing sex and sexuality when she’s not in character.
