An author who helped usher in a new era of sexual liberation admits that not building a family made her feel "truly alone."
Carrie Bushnell's novel, "Sex and the City," helped spawn the wildly popular HBO series of the same name, in which a group of affluent Manhattan women experience the joys and pratfalls of sexual independence. Speaking with the Sunday Times, however, Bushnell said she regrets not having children prior to her divorce in 2012.
"When I was in my 30s and 40s, I didn't think about it," Bushnell said, according to
Fox News. "Then when I got divorced and I was in my 50s, I started to see the impact of not having children and of truly being alone. I do see that people with children have an anchor in a way that people who have no kids don't."
Bushnell and her husband, ballet dancer Charles Askegard, divorced in 2012 after 10 years of marriage — which she said caused her to go without sex for five years. "It's not that long when you get to my age. I know women who have gone longer," she said.
