Lindsay Lohan's Lifestyle Inspired by Sex and the City  8/16/06

Lindsay Lohan has hailed seminal sitcom Sex and the City for inspiring her dating philosophy.

Even though Lohan was only 12 years old when the Sarah Jessica Parker-starring comedy started, the Herbie Fully Loaded star admits she loves having open and casual relationships with men, like Sex And The City characters Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbs, Samantha Jones and Charlotte York.

She says, "Sex And The City changed everything for me, because those girls would just sleep with so many people."

Lohan admits she has double-standards about her open attitude to relationships - she wants to be able to sleep with whoever she chooses, but doesn't want to share her male companions.

She explains, "If I'm going to give my body to someone, I'd rather them not be with other people. But I want to be able to if I like someone else."
