I love songs about sex. Most of the time, however, they're all saying the same thing - "let's get it on." Some are sweet and soften you up, and some are lewd, crude and get straight to the point. How many times can we possibly listen to the same sort of song? When you really want to hear something original and sexy, it can be hard to find.
My friend Nikki went through her arsenal of sex songs (yes, she has one, and at least one song for every sex mood there is) and found that some songs have subtle messages that we might miss if we're too busy listening to the "Ooh baby, your backside is so fine" or the "Boy, I'm the best rider you'll ever know" type songs. Sometimes it's those lyrics in between the choruses that count. Here is her list of ten great sex-related songs you might have missed.
1. "Let's Talk About Sex" by Salt N Pepa: "Don't decoy, avoid or make void the topic / Cuz that ain't gonna stop it / Let's tell it like it is and how it could be / How it was, and of course, how it should be" - Chances are you've heard the catchy chorus, but did you really listen? Lucky for you if you didn't. There's no hidden message here. Communication beforehand is one the many keys to great sex and great relationships. Don't be bashful about being honest. It might just save you from emotional scars or a trip to the doctor.
2. "Justify my Love" by Madonna: "I wanna kiss you in Paris / I wanna hold your hand in Rome / I wanna run naked in a rainstorm / Make love in a train cross-country" - While the thrill of getting caught in public can be exciting, having the privacy to get down and dirty, one on one, makes it more relaxing. You won't have to justify letting the kink out behind closed doors.
3. "2 become 1" by Spice Girls: "Be a little bit wiser baby / Put it on, put it on" - The girls want to get it on, get it on, but there ain't no love without the glove. Always use protection when becoming one in the sack. Whether you're sporty, posh, ginger or scary, don't be a baby about it. Put it on.
4. "I Want Your Sex" by George Michael: "What's your definition of dirty, baby? / What do you consider pornography?" - Know your limits and those of your partner. You might be more inclined to tear those walls down together (naked) if you both respect them first. After that, you might be able to write a whole dictionary on "dirty."
5. "Darling Nikki" by Prince: "I knew a girl named Nikki / I guess you could say she was a sex fiend / I met her in a hotel lobby / Masturbating with a magazine / She took me to her castle / And I just couldn't believe my eyes / She had so many devices / Everything that money could buy" - Take matters into your own hands and give yourself what you deserve. Buy yourself a present. Your prince or princess probably won't mind joining in when you want to play with it.
6. "Date Rape" by Sublime: "The moral of the date rape story / It does not pay to be drunk and horny." I just threw in this unsexy song because I hate it. It's an awful joke about how without date rape, he'd never get laid. Thankfully the song ends with these lyrics.
7. "She Has a Girlfriend Now" by Reel Big Fish: "She said, 'Guys don't do no more for me' / She don't need nobody to be her man" - Sorry boys, sometimes a girl is just her own best friend. That's all there is to it.
8. "Jungle Love" by Steve Miller Band: "Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain / Everything's better when wet" - In dreams, water is a symbol for sex, and here's why: without some sort of lubrication, it just doesn't work. Ouch. Everyone benefits from a quick lube and tune up. You could do it manually or buy something that will do it automatically. Then you can really let your engines rev.
9. "Untitled" by D'angelo: "How does it feel / Said I wanna know how does it feel" - This one is great to listen to while actually in bed. Since it's always nice to ask how your partner is feeling, why not let D'angelo do the talking for you? It's especially convenient for those times when you're with someone new and you're getting an anatomy lesson of their nether regions. If you're lucky, he/she will hear these lines and automatically respond, "Keep up the good work!"
10. "Pink" by Aerosmith: "Pink - it's my new obsession / Pink - it's not even a question / Pink on the lips of your lover / 'Cause Pink is the love you discover" - Be passionate about pink. It's not a chore. Foreplay is an integral part of sex and shouldn't be ignored. We could all take a lesson from Steven Tyler and these words... and those lips. Oh how I wouldn't mind learning a thing or two or three with that mouth...
Well those are her appetizers before the main course that follows. Keep your eyes and ears open for other delicious ones you might be missing. If you've never heard one of these songs, I suggest you go out and, as long as you're getting it on, well...
