Cattrall wrote sex book to allay female fears

Kim Cattrall felt compelled to write a book about intimacy to demystify sex for women - and urge them not to panic of their partners are struggling to arouse them.

The former Sex and the City actress, 48, teamed up with her then-husband Mark Levinson on Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm to inform others she didn't develop a strong sex drive until she reached her forties.

Cattrall says: "Up until then I thought I wasn't a very sexual woman, although everyone assumed I was getting it in spades.

"I wanted to write the book because something had changed for me. I thought: 'My goodness, if that's my story, there must be lots of other women.'"
