The girls head to a tantric sex class after Charlotte has anxiety about her performance in bed. Samantha's sexual liberation is tested when she's asked by a gay couple to have sex. Carrie meets a movie composer named Patrick who is a recovering alcoholic. Their dating becomes problematic when Carrie realizes he has an addictive personality.
The thematic parallelism in this episode deals with the characters' perspective of how good of a lover they are:
Carrie - dates an addict who becomes addicted to having sex with her
Charlotte - her new boyfriend falls asleep while having sex with her, so she decides to take a tantic sex class
Miranda - buys new bed sheets in hopes that it will attract men to her sex life
Samantha - is asked by a gay couple to have sex with her, but then is upset when they bail
Stereotypical Gender Roles:
- Charlotte being extremely emotional

- The women being immature in the tantic sex workshop
Non-Stereotypical Gender Roles:
- Samantha having a threesome with the gay couple
- Carrie giving Patrick her number
- Carrie inviting Patrick to "come up"
- Patrick being the one reluctant to have sex
