Well what u say is right - however, one usually see us Indians - both men and women - as stereotypes! Anyone who follow a set pattern is fine - yet those who tread the uncharted terrain are looked down upon irrespective of their sex...
so the question is 
In short, how many Indians  have the courage to be themselves and let go?
and in today's fast paced world even all cities - the developed ones specially - the dress code is also unifying (jeans & tees & keds) making it almost a unisex world...

i also have an observation: women have started making choices - the average age at which they marry is rising (and many have chosen to be single & yet continue to mingle..) and if we take your starting point "Sex & the city" the so called affluent and the so called "labour class" (sic!) can be sen exhibiting the same social (sic!) mores.. and THIS is
yet another stereotype...

so maybe the class disnction is reduced to the Haves & Have-nots (we can philosophize as to the
definition of "have")?

To be with like minded ones is a difficult task and those who make efforts -lucky as some call it- are with those with whom they can express themselves openly.so net has proved popular for few.but then you loose qaulity ears and tongues or feed backs.but great thing about many of the womens magazines is they are quite open and know about modern women with out being openly ''inviting free for all '' kind of looks oldies give you all.As a man ,husband and a father of two grown up daughters I know the requirement to openly express your needs and sexual or living style and likes dislikes traits openly and seek compatibility.men fear these women so your types need self confident men mature enough which you rarely find and end up being used and maligned ,avoid that by keeping mouth shut and make efforts to find environment suitable for such talk in India.not all who talk ''openly'' are aware and mature though.take care best wishes.

I think, as far as woman targetting woman is concerned, it is more due to the female tendancy to demand perfectionism from others as well as self. Usually, its seen in unmarried woman. Once married, a woman sees so may imperfections in her husband that she finds any woman far better and thus bonds better with and makes more genuine female friends.

Maam, 

How I wish and long for an Indian "Sex and the city"...talking about the forbidden S,B and O words. I guess it will take time maybe a century. We are a country where homosexuality is punishable and rape is a national pasttime esp in the capital. 

But we can always hope!

Proved again, anything with sex in the headline really does catch a million pair of eyes, i for once wrote a blog with God and Peace in the head, five people dared to come in out of which three were my own desperate attempts to increase readership....sorry no hard feeelings...and nothing personal..just a reminder of the times.
well written
Thank you

Satyeki

I do see women discussing sex openly, including me. These are usually women who are either married or are in their late twenties or more. So more than anything else I think age and maturity has got to do with it. Also those who enjoy it are the ones who talk about it more because they are more willing to educate others on this subject. 
Bold writeup nevertheless!

Indian women-- most of them  are bonded in a mental chain. She cant approve of a life like Carrie
