I hope I can make sense with this - I decided to avoid doing it as a poll since there would probably be way too many options.
When I was growing up - I remember a Country Western Song that went, "When we get behind closed doors, and she lets her hair hang down, and she makes me feel like I'm a man. Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors."
As I was growing up (and I'm sure y'all can tell it was years ago) - this song really influenced what I thought marriage/sex would be like. It was between two people - really special and sorta a "secret" between them.
The other song that hits me right off (I don't listen to much music - sorry) was by the Captain and Tenille a few years later - called "Do That To Me One More Time" - and the words go like this:
Do that to me one more time
Once is never enough with a man like you
Do that to me one more time
I can never get enough of a man like you
Whoa-oh-oh, kiss me like you just did
Oh, baby, do that to me once again
Suddenly (in my young mind) - sex had gone from being something that was very secret and special to two people - to something that you sang about how great it was.
Sorta reminds me of how when rabbits breed - the buck will fall over and make a grunting sound quite often. Mind you - they don't do that all the time-just sometimes.
I'm sure that now our lyrics are way more "out there" and much more vivid of what couples do.
So my question basically is - do you think music has changed because our view of sex and sexuality has changed (from being "behind closed doors" to being more open) - or do you think society's view of sex has changed because of the music that has developed over the years.
Also - if you have songs that influenced your view of sex - either in a good way or bad way - feel free to share them here!
