ABSTRACT
Forty years on, rocR and roIl continues to claim to be about sexo It hasn't been about foreplay for a lonq while, a concept damn near dead now, and one wonders not only who RiIled it but when. Where can one find "maRe out" music these days? Not on MTV or VH-l, unless condom manufacturers are sponsorinq the music buzz clip. On the other hand, there's an awful lot of jinSJle music to have sex to; pop and rocR music accompany almost every form of sexual behavior imaSJinable, from heavy metal bondaSJe/domination sex to disco sex (pass the poppers, pIease). The video SJanSJsta-rap variation technicaIly isn't about sex at aIl, but rather violence, where women are portrayed as wiIIinSJ victims. And when women are the rappers, the men become the beefcaRe objects of desire attired in their $700 sneaRers, club jacRets, and SJold chains. At the opposite extreme is New Aqe music sex (or is it sex music?), which is ethereal, nonviolent, and androSJynous, without a bottom or bacRbeat to it. And where's the fun in that?
