One should think that since Sex and the City there should not be any male existing being surprised that women talk about sex. And that they enjoy (sometimes) and like to gossip a bit about their own lifes and the lives of others.
That being said, would I say that the characters in the movie always act in their best interest? No. But do the circumstances allow for them to go ... all out? Act a fool as some might also say. I would argue there is enough sentiment for them to be angry and irrational (as some would put it).
No one does always the right thing or the best thing or whatever you would call it. The performances are good - which is really something that is needed with a talky movie like the one at hand here. You may not like the subject matter - you may not be able to identify with our main characters either ... but they feel three dimensional. They feel like they are well written - and they feel like the actors got into their skin - no pun intended.
