It is really getting annoying that folks like you, who have clearly never even seen the show think they know what it is about. The show is about deep enduring friendship between four women, with their sex and love lives as a backdrop. From those in the know:

Bushnell said that she based her New York Observer column, “Sex and the City,” on her relationships with her girlfriends. The characters in the column and on the show are based on Bushnell and her friends in real life.

Bushnell speaks on sex, city and shoes

Michael Patrick King, Executive Producer:"People thought, oh it's just about sex or it's just about fashion. And then slowly over the years people start to see it's really about love ... and relationships ... and sex ... and basically the battlefield of trying to be in love—whether it be with another person or with yourself."

In the mid-nineties, when Bushnell’s book first came out, reviewers pointed out that—like a late-model Woody Allen movie—she didn’t exactly run with an everyday New Yorker crowd.

I have seen a bit of the show. Every time I turn to it, they are in bed with some guy.

Don’t tell me the show is “deep” because it involves themes other than getting laid.

When you turn to the show and that is what you see 90 percent of the time, that is the show.

They didn’t name it Sex and the City because it is about girlfriends.

Yep, it sounds deep, like, you know, too deep for us folks to unnestan! Better than Tolstoy, if not as good as Toy Story!
