Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl...

As a bisexual person, I have to disagree with the below reviewers. They kind of missed one of the main points of this episode which was to show how sexuality is a spectrum and the dialogue surrounding it (at the time). Many people and even gays didn't fully understand bisexuality - that doesn't automatically make them phobic (some definitely are though) So of course that dialogue is presented from the pov of these straight women. Carrie even talks about gender and constructs...though I agree that as a sex columnist, her character should've been the one to be less fazed by all of this. It is however established that she mostly just poses questions in her column, so it's not super realistic. And of course the creators and some of the writers of this show were part of the growing LGBTQ community. Think about that for a minute. The whole point was literally to show bisexuality.

Filled with the usual insulting stereotypes, hard to watch

I didn't understand how, as a sex writer, she could be so confused about bisexuality.

Now I can see the reason society is so screwed up today. This was the precursor to the 'I don't know who or what I am' generation. I had no idea this lack of understanding about our humanity started here but it did.

How do people watch this and conclude it is homophobic? Dang. The episode simply illustrates a range of sexual relationships openly and without judgement. Carrie, our supposedly open writer, gets conflicted on her feelings which is exactly as expected from John Q. Public. Carrie behavior does seem quite out of place for a person writing sexual commentary columns in the local newspaper. Carrie behavior then is consistently out of place most episodes. Funny the Alanis cameo here. They missed an opportunity for her to throw in some clip of one of her sexual angst songs. That would have been awesome.
