This review is from: S.E.X. (Clean Version) (MP3 Download)

I hear this song playing at work and I cringe every time I hear it. This song is full of so many negative gender and sex stereotypes. Among these you will find:
1. Guys just want to get in your pants, they don't want relationships
2. Guys tell you if you loved me you would have sex with me
3. Girls are only interested in relationships, not sex. It is assumed that if they have sex it's because the guy wants it and the guy is pressuring you.
4. They emphasize to teenage girls ONLY that once you lose it, you can never get it back, yet another example of treating female virginity as some sort of sacred thing that only women are supposed to try to hold on to
5. There is also mention about the girl's mother hiding the fact that she is having sex from her father, who would "go crazy if he found out that his baby" was having sex.

The song is basically a far cry from teaching anything about healthy sexuality to young people or anyone else. Girls have always been told that they need to save their virginity and be "good girls," while boys have been expected to be "bad" and wanting only sex. It is upsetting that the tone of this song is that it's completely ok for a father to be angry at his daughter for being sexual, when this should be a time of teaching her that sex is normal and healthy and helping her learn to love herself. I thought modern day song lyrics would be a little more advanced. These lyrics by themselves portray sex like we were still in the 1960s.
