Before Carrie puts on her Vivienne Westwood wedding dress in the new "Sex and
the City: the Movie"; before Charlotte became a mom at the end of the TV series;
before Smith and Harry, Steve and Big, "Sex and the City" was all about flings
... too many too count. Until now.

We did the math, punched in some numbers and calculated that during the course
of 94 episodes and six seasons, the women of "Sex and the City" hit the sheets
with a combined total of 94 men and one woman.

Perennially chic newspaper columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her three cohorts
picked up waiters, doormen, trainers, lawyers, yoga instructors, bartenders,
writers, baseball players, ophthalmologists, Realtors, artists, architects,
furniture designers and unemployed actors.

Of the four women, public relations exec Samantha racked up the most sexual
partners. She bedded 41 men and one woman, while Carrie hooked up with 18,
Charlotte 18 and Miranda 17.

Everyone has a "number." But how many is too many and were the "Sex and the
City" women oversexed?

Definitely - compared to the average American woman, who has nine sex partners
in a lifetime, according to a survey by the Durex brand of condoms. But compared
to the average New Yorker, they were right on target.

According to Karyn Bosnak, who researched the topic for her novel "20 Times a
Lady" - about a New Yorker who vows to have sex with a maximum of 20 men - the
typical New York City woman's number is twice the national average.

"Women in other parts of the country tend to get married much younger. It's not
a big deal to be single in your 30s in New York," says Bosnak, "There's also the
anonymity factor. You can date men from different social circles here. If you
have 20 sex partners and you live in a small, rural town, that's not good.

"I stopped counting at 56," says Christine, 35, a locations director from
Bayside who lives in SoHo. "There are so many opportunities to meet men here -
bars, restaurants, clubs, walking down the street, the deli. Men are
everywhere."

Brooklynite Linda, who has been with 13 men, agrees. "I'm married now, but when
I was single, I had a blast. Sex was empowering. I once had sex on [the] F
train. It was three in the morning and the car was empty. So we were like, 'Why
not,'" says the 39-year- old Carroll Gardens artist.

"Manhattan tends to draw career women who typically wait longer to get married.
These women usually have money, so they are not financially dependent on men.
Their priorities are elsewhere," says pyschologist Victoria Zdrok, author of
"Dr. Z on Scoring."

While women with digits like Samantha may keep their number to themselves, Zdrok
makes the case that it's something to be proud of. "Women with higher numbers
tend to be more educated, have more liberal views and higher self-esteem," she
says.

Not all women think having a high number is a good thing.

"The women on 'Sex and the City' went through so many guys they devalued sex,"
says Crystal, 22, an exotic dancer at Rick's Cabaret in midtown. "I've seduced
thousands of men, but my actual number of sex partners is one, maybe one and a
half. Sex should be special."
