The teachers in my grade went to a movie last week. I was told the movie was "Kung Fu Panda" so I went. I noticed two female teachers were missing. Asked why. A female teacher told me, They are seeing "Sex & the City." I said, I'd rather see that, let's go to that. She said, No! I want to see it only with women! I related this to my co-teacher, who said she wouldn't want to see it with men, because there are sexual scenes.

I immediately concluded this was a cultural difference, since I don't think any of my female friends at home would have such a concern. But I'm older, and my friends tend to match my demographic & outlook on life. So I wonder if it is really a cultural difference. Would the women here be concerned about seeing this movie (or any movie with notable sexual scenes) with men?

I haven't seen the movie but the women might feel more comfortable laughing at jokes or watching sexual scenes without a man next to them. I guess they could feel more self-conscious and might not enjoy the movie fully.

I watched a movie by myself for the first time last year. I was surprised at how much more comfortable I felt watching a movie alone. I could choose to watch any movie I wanted to. I didn't have to worry about whether my partner was enjoying the movie or not.

You actually wanted to see Sex in the City? Dearie dearie me. Personally it's not a movie I'm interested in so I wouldn't be taking anyone to see it, male or female.

Since most of the ladies in that show are pretty homely it would make your date look good.

Lots of K women won't use tampons or go on the pill cause it's bad so I can understand that they'd feel shy what not

For me, hells no. I'd only feel that way if I was with my dad. Definately would not watch the movie with him.

I've had 2 invites to see this movie. But I turned both down cos i'd have to kick my own ass.

If he wanted to sure why not, but I would never suggest to a guy, hey we should go see that.

I watched every episode of the show with a dude, but I was the manly one in that relationship.
