But this theme isn't about romantic or sensual songs. It's about Sexy songs.
Well, @Kenny Coyote's got a valid point. There's a difference between Sex songs and Sexy songs. Romantic songs can be very sexy. ,(,Boom, Boom, Let's Go Back to My Room by Paul LeKakis, for example, isn't particularly sexy, imho.) I had forgotten about Careless Whisper, which is a good choice. And, of course, the saxophone itself is a very sexy instrument.
have you already done one of these for Top 20 Romantic Songs? If you haven't, would you?
Yes, I was your captain on the SS Sex Boat.

I hope you're all feeling deeply satisfied.
I agree there's a difference between sex songs and sexy songs and I believe the title of this is "20 Sexy Songs." Sade is sexy but doesn't sing "sex songs" as far as I know. I noticed you put No Ordinary Love on your list. I like it, and I also like Smooth Operator. I thought some people might have listed that. "Big Love" was listed by @Long Lashes so after that, after someone listing a song by my favorite band, and one that isn't even one of their biggest hits, I have no complaints.
There are plenty of songs about sex that aren't sexy. I hope nobody thought 2 Live Crew's "Me So Horny" was actually sexy. My friends in the college dorm I was living in when that was popular listened to it sometimes but only for comedic value. It was so graphic that most record stores would not sell it and in some places it was illegal to!
Mentioning the late 80 and early 90s, right around that time there was a song that I haven't thought of in years, but this subject we're discussing made me remember it. I missed the time for nominating or this would have been right near the top of my list. I'm including it in my post because I bet there are some people here who haven't heard it and this is just that one song I want to give people a chance to hear. It was popular but not such a big hit that everyone knows it - but I honestly think there must be some people here who will like it. Let me know if you listened to it and liked it.
The saxophone is a sexy instrument! I'd venture to say that the sax line alone in careless Whisper is very sexy. Then you add George Michael's vocal performance to it, and you've got one very romantic and sexy song.
I didn't notice this contest until just before I posted or Careless Whisper would have been on my top 20 list easily. I Want Your Sex may be sexy to some people, and apparently it was sexy to a whole lot of people because it was a big hit song, but what one person considers a sexy song can be quite different from what someone else considers sexy. To me, and this is just my opinion, I Want Your Sex sounds like it's trying too hard to be sexy. I will and I have put George Michael's album Listen Without Prejudice on during (how do I say this tactfully) "sexy circumstances", but I thought the best song on that album, for creating a sexy mood, was Cowboys And Angels. That's a gorgeous song. Does anyone else here like that song? I'm not even sure what it's about, but it's alright because I love the rhythm, that amazing piano intro, and the mood it creates. We also played "Freedom" a lot, especially for dancing to it.
BTW, have you already done one of these for Top 20 Romantic Songs? If you haven't, would you?
I hope you're all feeling deeply satisfied.
