Sex and the City Sex Scenes: Samantha, Maria and More

Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones in the waxing scene from Sex and the City (1:11). 8 more adult scenes from the HBO series are further down the page.

Yes, Sex and the City has real nude and sex scenes, and nearly all of them belong to Samantha. Over six HBO seasons Kim Cattrall went topless, bare and into bed with a rotating cast of partners, with Sonia Braga and Jill Nicolini adding two of the show’s most memorable guest moments. 9 clips in HD, each with its length.

Samantha: Waxing Scene, Topless and Bare (1:11)

Samantha Jones at home, mid-series | With: Kim Cattrall

Samantha in a white towel in a tiled bathroom with a home wax kit on the sink. The towel drops, she studies herself in glasses, topless and completely bare, and the scene runs long enough to show the full, unglamorous routine before she pulls on a pink robe and walks out to a waiting partner. Unusually frank for a network-era comedy.

Why this one first? It is the longest, clearest look at Samantha bare, and it sums up why she was the show’s boldest character.

Every Other Adult Scene in Sex and the City

The rest, from the Fleet Week flash to the candlelit bath, runs from season 3 to the final season.

Samantha: Fleet Week Flash (0:06)

Season 5, episode 1 | With: Kim Cattrall

Season 5 opens on a street packed with sailors on shore leave, and Samantha answers the cheering by pulling her top down in front of the whole crowd. Five seconds, bare breasts in daylight, the sailors going wild. Short, but it is a bold Samantha moment.

Samantha: The Sex Swing (0:21)

Season 3, episode 11 | With: Kim Cattrall

Samantha, a sex swing and a bright loft with rain-streaked windows. She is strapped in, bare breasts and legs wrapped around her partner, in one of the show’s most physical sex scenes. Twenty seconds that bring the season’s hardware gag to life.

Samantha: Bed with a Younger Man (0:44)

Season 6, episode 1 | With: Kim Cattrall

A cardboard-box loft and a metal bed frame. Samantha in pale green lingerie with a young, shirtless partner, laughing, kissing and rolling over so the camera catches her bare breasts and butt. A relaxed, playful bedroom scene to open the final season.

Samantha: The Red Sofa Apartment (0:21)

Season 6, episode 2 | With: Kim Cattrall

Wide, clean framing of a white-walled apartment with a red sofa and a red bed. Samantha and her partner move from one to the other over twenty seconds, bodies bare against the window light. Less close-up than the others on this page, more about the sheer energy of the sex.

Samantha: Topless Embrace by the Window (0:41)

Season 6, episode 11 | With: Kim Cattrall

Samantha topless in a long, tight embrace against a window with the city behind her, her hands locked around her partner’s back as they kiss. A forty-second close scene with bare breasts and no cutaway.

Samantha: Black Lingerie on the Red Bed (0:47)

Samantha in her bedroom | With: Kim Cattrall

Samantha in black lingerie on a bed of red sheets with a younger, blond partner, the straps coming off as the scene heats up. Forty-six seconds of classic Samantha: confident, in control, and unashamed on camera.

Samantha and Maria: The Candlelit Bath (1:35)

Samantha and Maria | With: Kim Cattrall, Sonia Braga

Samantha and Sonia Braga’s Maria share a tiled bathtub lit by candles, sponges in hand, washing each other and drifting into kisses. Nearly a minute and a half, both bare-shouldered and bare-chested through the soap. The most tender scene on this list.

The Nude Waitress (0:23)

Party scene | With: Jill Nicolini

Jill Nicolini strolls through a crowded New York party completely naked, carrying a tray of drinks while the guests carry on around her. Twenty-three seconds, full-frontal and breasts in clear light.

What I Left Out

Underwear-only and towel-only cuts, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon scenes with no clear nudity, Kristin Davis bedroom scenes where the camera stays on her shoulders, a long Samantha montage that repeats the clips above, and a handful of clips with burned-in captions or watermarks.

Why Sex and the City Still Gets Talked About

Sex and the City turned frank talk about dating into appointment TV, and Samantha Jones was always the character who did what the other three only discussed. The nudity was part of the joke and part of the argument: sex as something grown women do on their own terms.
