...especially one-night stands?

It seems like back in the late 90's, few of the hit songs at the time were of a sexual nature, or at least they toned it down. But now in 2012, it sometimes seems like EVERY song is about sex, and usually one-night stands - usually an assertive male speaking of taking a woman home for a night from the club, or increasing ly the other way around (e.g. Kesha's "Bla Bla Bla"). Even songs that are not otherwise centered around sex seem to make an obligatory token reference (e.g. Rihanna's "Don't Stop the Music", Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory") This has seemed to be the case for about 10 years now.

Are regular people really so horny or sex-obsessed as to find this appealing? Although my religious views come into play here, even from a secular perspective, it's ridiculous.

What music do you listen to? I don't listen to music hits.

If you listen to my music, you'd be listening to power metal mostly. And Apocalyptica.

because that's what people are into nowadays. Quick and easy lays, no commitments. I don't care how much they pass it off as "normal for everyone" it's not my thing and never will be.

This is nothing new, been going on for decades. In the 70's we were listening to plenty of songs about sex -
Afternoon Delight
Me and Mrs. Jones
If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right

I could go on and on....


Ever listen to the words of Simon and Garfunkels "Cecilia"???


Simon & Garfunkel - Cecilia - YouTube

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom making love
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone's taken my place

Well, I keep up to date with pop music. I don't purposely listen to it, but encounter it on the radio.

okay, but most of these people do and it's all they concentrate on from what I seen, sex this sex that and how fast can we 'get to it.' That's why I think the OP is hearing an influx of those type of songs.

I do I do. But other than that, none of the music i listen to seems to be much about sex. Probably since i dont listen to garbage, but i realize that taste in music is highly subjective, so more power to ya.
