I’m just listening to Toni Braxton’s “Secrets” album, and her song “You’re Makin Me High” is just pure, unadulterated sex to me. I mean, sure the lyrics are about sex, but the whole song is just raw, throbbing sex to me. How about the rest of youse? Do you all have songs that are this way for you? ---

Joan Osborne (from the album “Relish”) singing “Right Hand Man” Owie Zowie, gives me a woody just thinkin’ 'bout it. ---

Paula Cole, “Feelin’ Love” Yow. ---

NIN _Closer_ is pretty obvious. _VooDoo_ by Godsmack is all about sex to me. It’s the drums. They do it to me everytime. _Partners in the Sublime_ and _Taboo_ by Claudia Christian. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I would give up men for that woman. ---

The video mix of Enigma’s “Mea Culpa” (the one that has the arabic sounding singing in it instead of the monk stuff) NIN “Closer” … goosebumps there. I used to dance to that one on stage quite often, actually 🙂 Prince’s “Darling Nicky” ---

_You Look So Fine_ by Garbage is the only one I can think of at the moment that hasn’t been mentioned. ---

Marvin Gaye’s **Let’s Get It On** is most definitely sexy. So is Otis Redding’s **These Arms of Mine.** I’d love to sing these to my queen (if I could sing, that is). Clarence Carter’s **At the Dark End of the Street** doesn’t _ooze_ sex, but it is sexy, and funny as hell. ---

Less “right here, right now, baby” and more “let’s do it all night reeeeal slow” is **Belle** , a song from the musical **Notre Dame de Paris**. The music just makes me want to sink through the floor in a velvety puddle. ---

No words to the song but it fits the question: **Naked** By Wayne Gerard A sexy Smooth Jazz song that lasts six minutes…longer than most songs and hopefully shorter than the next man I date. 😉 ---

I really dig “Son of a Preacer Man” by Dusty Springfield. It’s not slutty, but it’s got sex. 🙂 And then “Whatever Lola Wants” as sung by Sarah Vaughn. Of course “Feelin Love” has already been mentioned. But, it deserves another. ---

My choice would have to be ‘Blood, Milk, and Sky’ by White Zombie. ‘Stranglehold’ by Ted Nugent is good too, though some of the lyrics are kinda dodgy. ---

“Nothing Else Matters” I once did not hear it for six months and there was a running promise of a blow job to the first person who could find it for me and play it. Bounty was indeed paid and I now have the MP3. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by AlbertRose \* > **So is Otis Redding’s These Arms of Mine.** From _Dirty Dancing_. Ooooh, yeah… **Feelin’ Love** gets a third from me. LLCoolJ’s **Doin’ It** gets me all hot and bothered, too. ---
