Leebf Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Grillzrap that is all. Love the sleezy slurpy way she raps with them in her mouth, it makes the song.
Andra Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I hope she'll wear the grillz when she performs this on tour!
Guest Rachelle of London Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 It's in my top 3 Madonna songs ever!
Shane Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 It's in my top 3 Madonna songs ever! !!! Wow! Find the top 5 tracks thread a couple pages back, and vote for S.E.X. It needs some love in a big way.
tomwiggz Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 What’s that song saying? It’s kind of a social commentary about the way everybody hooks up now and the lack of intimacy. When I made my “Sex” book I was being incredibly ironic, but I was also saying, “Look, it’s not only a man’s place to objectify a woman -- a woman can objectify herself too.” In the song “S.E.X.,” when I do the sort of rap in the middle and I do the list, I made myself sound like I have a lisp. Go back and listen to it. It’s meant to be ironic -- even though there’s some very handy items on that list. Hmm. I didn't realize she had framed the song this way. It's funny because it sort of reminded me of What A Way To Wanna Be from Shania Twain's Up! album..in the sense that what she's saying is a little trivial and silly but it's supposed to be that way because she's poking a little bit of fun in the song. This really isn't my favorite from the album...but I think it's a big improvement from the demo version, especially in making the decision to omit "there's nothing wrong with...NOTHING WRONG WITH...sex!!!!" So bad.
Sheena Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I think the song is so sexy, tbh. If I weren't positive radio would ban it, I think it would be an okay single. Or at least a good club single.

Go back and listen to it. It’s meant to be ironic -- even though there’s some very handy items on that list. “Holy Water” does that a little bit too. The double entendres are so over the top. At this point all my songs about sex have to be tongue in cheek. There’s no other way I can approach it. Since exploring sexuality has been such a big part of my career as an artist, I felt like I wanted to address it, but almost from a voyeuristic way, like I’m on the outside looking in. In a way these songs don’t even seem interested in pleasure. “S.E.X.” talks about breaking the bed, but you don’t sound like you’re having much fun. Hmm. There’s a loneliness to it, which I suppose is the voyeurism. I don’t think love is involved. But remember that I did the record with Kanye, and he has a very specific point of view about sexuality, which I find amusing. It’s not meant to be sexy. What if a listener doesn’t grasp that? Well, let’s face it: There’s lot of subtleties in life that are hard for most people to grasp. Don’t you think? Queen!

Shane Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Song is growing on me. It's a great combination of edgy/ominous production and tongue in cheek lyrics. Plus a solid hook or two and strong vocal!
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I read so much crap about this song I was excepting a dumpy smelly unmelodic crap track. I really don't get what could be so bad about this track. I love it personally. You got a bad attituuuuuude... rawww mEEAT
Shane Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I noticed that each time I get to the spoken word bridge a huge grin breaks out on my face! I love her so!
Sheena Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) This makes me think of 50 Shades of Grey. Either in it's current form, or re-done, it would fit the theme of the movie. And she sounds hot in the song, which I think will get me a bit of side-eye. But she does. Edited March 12, 2015 by Sheena
beachprance Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 A lot of interviewers have been citing this song when they interview her, they secretly love it..
Messiahxxx Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 This makes me think of 50 Shades of Grey. Either in it's current form, or re-done, it would fit the theme of the movie. And she sounds hot in the song, which I think will get me a bit of side-eye. But she does. This song is too much for the movie, Madonna would put Christian Grey to shame (and make him her bitch tbh) And I think she sounds hot too, even if she wanted this to be a funny/tongue in cheek song, she does sound sexy. I guess she can't help it lol
Messiahxxx Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Ok, so basically I NEED a S.E.X. video in my life. I want her to read the Sex book to a bunch of 5 year olds in a scene. She would make shocked faces while the kids roll their eyes like saying "we've seen worse things than that" and also I want to see Madonna in a nurse costume!!!!
Stephen Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 i totally had the S.E.X. tonight with my trainer and broke the bed. Was totally thinking of this song after it happened
jaguadar1720 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Hope you enjoy. Edited March 13, 2015 by jaguadar1720
Kurt420 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I noticed that each time I get to the spoken word bridge a huge grin breaks out on my face! I love her so! Don't you love her wicked laugh right before she starts the "rap"?
Shane Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Don't you love her wicked laugh right before she starts the "rap"?Dying every time I hear it, yes!And then that slamming door at the end!

M.Dolla Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I LOVE the way she says "a lesson in sexology" The entire song should've been sung like this!
Kurt420 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Dying every time I hear it, yes! And then that slamming door at the end! Yes! Love how dramatic the production on this song sounds.
Shane Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yes! Love how dramatic the production on this song sounds. And I live for the fact that this leads into Messiah! Some have said it's jarring, but I think it's the essence of Madonna: many sides, many facets, many styles. The rebel and the heart.

I also like how the chaotic sound Iconic goes right into the piano for HC.
velvet Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 amazing song, one of the best on the album, definite grower
