I think in certain genres like blues and jazz it's been the case for a long time. I can name many popular songs going back to the 20s that feature suggestive lyrics. It doesn't take a genius to know what Howlin' Wolf means when he's talking about 'jelly rolls.'
But yes, it's more a lack of romance today, a celebration of hedonism, casual sex. If a song isn't about sex it's about partying, materialism.etc - it's all part and parcel.
However I will say, as much as I love the music of the 50s and 60s it is annoying how 9 out of 10 songs are love songs. Love songs have their place but that's not the ONLY thing in life.

Awwww Trimmers....Love songs are nice. Except when you get dumped.
Lol...you're a piece of work Doll, but I definitely do admire how you stand up for what you believe in and don't take any crap from anybody.
yesterday you hated me. I don't get you trimac, LOL. Anyways, I don't know why I am piece of work, I was being serious, it's not 'token resistance,' which implies I'm resisting something just for the sake of doing so. *shrugs*
