Sex Sells! No wonder...

Sex sells... a fact of life. Why? Well, why not? Everybody talks about it, everybody wants it, everybody thinks it! But songs are prime in delivering. How many songs have you heard that mentioned sex, spoke about it, were dedicated to it, described it, made you feel like doing it... If it's not about love, it's about sex.

Take a look at some of the famous songs from Sex Bomb for Tom Jones to Sexy Back for Justin Timberlake. There is so much that can make a song a hit; sometimes it's the rhythm, sometimes the words, sometimes how bizarre and ridiculous and shocking it is like Candy Shop for 50 Cent. There is probably no artist or band that hasn't sang a song about sex. It amazes me when I reflect on that. Here are some songs, to name a few: Naughty Girl (Beyonce), Like a Virgin (Madonna), Promiscuous (Nelly Furtado), Sensual Seduction (Snoop Dogg), Smack That (Akon), Animals (Nickelback). Have you read the lyrics of those songs?

Just by hearing the word sex or implying that you're talking about it in a song gets people's attention! I bet I will get the most hits and visits on this article just from its name... Cool, so most people make a living from selling the idea of sex because other people keep wanting more. This isn't just in music but also in ads, on sites, and everywhere you go. Music is as powerful as media if not more powerful.

So, if music makes the world go round, then is sex A reason why? I'd rather not take it to an extreme. I believe in good content but people these days adopt a lot of strange and brainless songs, which makes me think of the taste of the new generation especially. Is it the industry that's creating those songs for the mass to adopt or is it the mass asking for them QUESTION MARK (?)
