25 Craaazy Things You NEVER Knew About 'Sex And The City'

Since first airing in 1998, Sex and the City has grown into a mandate for women all over the world searching for their great love. And though the show ended in 2004 (we're choosing to ignore the movies because they don't hold a Manolo Blahnik to the series), we will never forget that it's perfectly acceptable — and encouraged — to discuss penises and sex over brunch with your girlfriends.

Though the ladies hardly kept any secrets to themselves, check out these 25 facts about Sex and the City you've likely never heard before:

1. Ever wonder why you never see SJP's boobs? Sarah Jessica Parker was the only one of the girls with a clause in her contract stating she would never appear nude on screen.

2. There are only eight episodes in the fifth season because Sarah Jessica Parker was pregnant with son James Wilkie Broderick, born Oct 28, 2002.

3. Written by Candace Bushnell, SATC is based on a weekly column that was in The New York Observer. Bushnell created Carrie Bradshaw as her alter ego when she published the book,Sex and the City, which is a compilation of her columns.

14. In the scene where Trey and Charlotte get engaged at Tiffany's, the store wouldn't allow a crew in for security purposes. Instead, the show made a fake Tiffany's window, but the store still sent an employee to approve the window before it was shot.

15. Besides Miranda's mother passing away and briefly meeting Charlotte's brother, the girls rarely mention their families. This is because they wanted the four to stand on their own without family history being a factor in the show.
