Daily Inspiration Quote by Kim Cattrall

"I'm a trisexual. I'll try anything once"

About this Quote

Kim Cattrall’s “I’m a trisexual. I’ll try anything once” lands like a punchline dressed as a confession: breezy, flirtatious, and calibrated for maximum cultural ricochet. The invented label “trisexual” is the tell. It isn’t a clinical identity; it’s a comic upgrade to “bisexual,” a wink at how easily we reach for taxonomy to make desire legible. By adding a third option - “try” - Cattrall reframes sexuality less as a fixed orientation than as an attitude: curiosity as the real category.

The “I’ll try anything once” tag does double work. On the surface it’s playful hedonism, the kind of line that keeps talk-show couches warm and gossip columns fed. Underneath, it’s a defense mechanism in sequins: if you pre-empt judgment with a joke, you control the terms of the reveal. The humor also draws a boundary. “Once” signals experimentation without committing to a new self, a rhetorical escape hatch that lets the speaker flirt with transgression while staying socially mobile.

Context matters: Cattrall’s public persona, shaped by Sex and the City and its post-’90s sexual frankness, made her a safe vessel for saying what was once unsayable on mainstream TV. The line performs empowerment in a media ecosystem that rewards women for seeming liberated but still punishes them for wanting too much. It’s not a manifesto; it’s a savvy, crowd-pleasing hack: turn appetite into wit, and you get to own it.
