There were a lot of unrealistic things about theSex And The Cityfranchise. The expensive lifestyles on not-huge salaries. The amount of drinking that took place during the day which somehow never led to drunkenness or hangovers. But one of the most unrealistic things of all was that Carrie Bradshaw always slept in a bra.

And not just slept in a bra.SATC, along with many other TV shows and movies, would have us believe that women almost always leave their bra (which matches their pants, but that's a whole other gripe) on during sex acts. This pattern has likely emerged due to nudity clauses in contracts but there are other ways around it.

Where is the woman having sex wearing just her partner's uni sweatshirt and some socks? Surely that is more realistic than doing it and then falling asleep in your £300 matching set from Victoria's Secret and waking up with no visible discomfort from 7 hours of underwire jabbing you in the ribs.
