Wow. When I first read that, I thought the word was taste and I was going to respond, “I think I have an _idea_ of what it means.”

**JC** , That would be the name of the band, sir.

**Troy** , That`s what I thought the lyric was too, until I looked them up.

The obvious interpretation is that he wants to fuck her, but not to get her pregnant (and that means that her menses is going to waste every month). Seether doesn’t seem like the sort of band to write incredibly deep, sophisticated lyrics, so I’m gonna go with that.

We can chalk that up to a new euphamism for sex?
