10 of the most sexually positive rock songs

Led by now legendary Lzzy Hale, hard rock / glam metal band Halestorm created an ode to lustful physical expression with this second single from their latest studio LP, 2018 Vicious.

During the verses, she seductively sings about the kiss, revealing hidden tattoos and stripping down amid the confession, “I love your accent / I wonder what it will be like when you cum.” Once the much rowder chorus kicks in, she champions the intro. “your girlfriend too” because “three is better than two.”

It’s as much a tribute to the female carnal agency as it is to consensual group sex, so what’s not to love?

Understandably, this one lives up to the German provocateurs’ penchant for abrasive sonic debauchery, but there is also considerable sensuality and tolerance in its recognition of our animal desires.

Backed by a catchy electro-industrial score, singular singer Till Lindemann gruffly bellows over the inevitable and disgusting – but unmistakably life-affirming – need for shared body satisfaction. Roughly translated, he pronounces with force, “I look at you and I get sick / This busty flesh everywhere” before finally applauding, “We only live once / We love life / We love love / We live during sex (sex, sex, sex).”

I mean, he’s not wrong.

Despite their initially healthy image, the Fab Four were never strangers to copulation. (Just look at their nightlife in Hamburg, the “Four of fish and finger pies” line of “Penny Lane” or the great wingspan theory that “Please, please” is about reciprocal oral sex.)

However, they have never suggested it so blatantly as in “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?” where McCartney sings relentlessly and hoarsely the rhetorical demand on a simple rock arrangement.

Apparently, he was inspired to write it after admiring the shameless simplicity of two monkeys fornicating on a street in India. Go figure it out.

From the years 1969 Led Zeppelin II – a perfectly fitting year for this discussion – and inspired by “You Need Love” by Muddy Waters, this is a quintessential rock classic about hitting.

Obviously, Plant’s voice and Page’s guitar playing are inherently exciting, creating specific draws such as “Down inside / A-honey you need it / I’ll give you every inch of my love” and “Shake for me, girl / I wanna be your backdoor man” even more erotic.

Additionally, Plant’s risky gasp could be seen as encouraging the idea that men too should feel free to make noise while having sex.

Sadomasochism and bondage are very popular sexual perversions. Luckily we have this raucous Joan Jett and Blackhearts trail to normalize them.

Jett wastes no time honoring her depravity, as she cries out in a dominant manner: “Oh, look good in latex / Get out of having rough sex / Surprise, twist and turn around the bed / Restrained while I fuck your head. Later she tells her partner, “Look down, it’s time to be my dog” and “Relax while I pound your ass, “ so there are even role plays and role reversals going on.

Sometimes the most twisted techniques are the most enjoyable, right?

Likewise, countless couples take the risk of being caught red-handed in a public place, and the Aerosmith song from 1989 Pump does an irresistible job paying homage to this.

Admittedly, the verses are not particularly explicit, but his descriptions of forbidden fornication are quite titillating. That said, it’s the choir’s artfully catchy double meaning on cunnilingus (“Love in an elevator / I live it when I go down “) which makes it unforgettable.

Air became the first of the group to reach the top BillboardMainstream rock tracks from graphic, so it’s clear that people loved his music as much as his message.

The oldest and sweetest entry here, “Triad” from 1967, sees singer / songwriter David Crosby write a folkloric testament to the freedom and satisfaction of a threesome.

It’s probably warm, touching, and easy-going, with Crosby logically wondering why he and his two female partners can’t avoid all of the upheaval and be a collective unit. He hums, “You wanna know how it’s gonna be / Me and her, or you and me ” before admitting, “It breaks all the rules you learned in school / But I can’t really see / Why can’t we go three on?”

It’s a good question.

It shouldn’t be surprising to hear the unhindered prince discussing self-love and sex toys on this cut of Purple rain.

R & B / hard rock instrumentation is sparse but scorching as it playfully details looking at the holder “Sex demon … masturbates with a magazine” in “a hotel lobby.” Immediately she takes him to her “Chateau” and show him “a lot of devices” while they “grind.”

At the time, “Darling Nikki” upset Tipper Gore so much that she used as justification for putting Parental Advisory stickers on album covers. Hopefully this has also led to greater acceptance of the acts he portrays.

Garbage has frequently alluded to erogenous autonomy in their music (like on “Queer” and “Cherry Lips”). However, the catchy exuberant “Sex is not the Enemy” is their most overtly political and candid.

As feelings such as, “I won’t feel dirty and accept their misery / I won’t be ashamed because I believe that love is free” they or they wrote to protest against conservative views on “gay rights and women’s reproductive rights,” as well as double standards regarding public displays of male and female nudity.

As always, singer Shirley Manson sounds like a tough guy with poise and outspokenness all the time.

As the name suggests, this abandoned piece of the iconic Ziggy stardust The record is as exciting and erotic as anything the chameleon “Thin White Duke” has ever made.

It’s fanatic, Clockwork Orange–inspired The opening verse notwithstanding, the piece is an electrifying and hip salute to an immensely salacious but common form of foreplay. The back-and-forth groove works wonders behind Bowie’s shrill cries of being “Your fucking angelic rubber peacock”; it also warns, “Look south as your mother lives / If she knew what’s going on, she would give you hell.”

He perfectly captures sexual emancipation and the dangers of the time.
