 * Delete more liftcruft --JAranda &#124; watz sup 22:46, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable and recurrant song topic. Kappa 23:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yeah, a lot of songs are about sex, but that's kind of the problem -- this is like having a list of songs about love; the volume's just too great for any such list to be meaningful. -- Captain Disdain 00:01, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete what are the criteria for whether a song is about something? Inherently POV. Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk   00:02, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, it can be useful if you are trying to make a playlist or whatever.
 * Keep, could be a header for gathering more specific sublists (e.g. List of songs about oral sex, List of songs about losing virginity, List of songs about sex with a panda). BD2412  talk 01:46, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete useless listcruft &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 03:01, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete eternally unencyclopedic in its content, and most songs merely mention sex rather than make themselves about it. And who is to determine whether the song is about sex, includes sex, insinuates sex, suggests sex, uses metaphors about including suggestions to sex...... -Splash talk 03:42, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This list would be never ending. Break it up, subcategorize. Karmafist 17:51, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Splash. What is it with Wikipedia and song lists? -- Kjkolb 09:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Potentially interesting and useful since sex in music is a major topic of study, especially with regards to older recordings. (I just heard an Ann-Margret song from 1960 that in many ways was more sexually explicit than anything from 2 Live Crew). This needs some major organization and sub-categorizing. I would also support this being changed into a category if there isn't already one. 23skidoo 18:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
