It's easy to confuse Kim Cattrall with the sexual dynamos she tends to play onscreen (Samantha on 'Sex and the City,' a porn star in the upcoming 'Meet Monica Velour'), but she used an interview with the UK's Daily Express to clue us in on something: She's not the sex fiend she plays.

"Most of my life hasn't been very fulfilling sexually," Cattrall, 53, says. "At one point in my mid-30s, I thought, 'Maybe I'm just not a very sexual woman. I play women who are sexually aware, but maybe I'm not going to be particularly active.'"

Cattrall split from her 20-years-younger boyfriend last year. "I've been so busy that I haven't had time to adjust," she says. "Whenever you step out for a drink or dinner, whoever you're with becomes your latest beau, which is a bit of a laugh for my gay friends."

The actress also hammers down the fact she's most definitely not Samantha, saying, "I'm a serial monogamist, not shy, but it takes a lot for me to initiate anything. My preference is a clean-shaven man who smells fresh and clean."
