Songs about the dark side of consensual sex.

"Art mimics life..."

Won't speak for Sydney, but I didn't mean to suggest it shouldn't be so. Just that one could go on and on and on.

and 'half the songs out there' is still only half of the songs out there.

Sure. Where would the world be without songs about drug addiction?

 

[Saiyaman]

I have to say though, that not all of the songs posted are either about the dark side of Consensual sex or about Consensual sex at all, as some have posted songs about Rape.

Anyway, here's Nine Inch Nails with "Closer" which is about a guy who needs to have a sex slave around, he needs someone he can dominate, he'll go crazy if he goes without that for too long.

But it can also be in reverse, "Tourniquet" by Marylin Manson is about somebody who is dominated and surrenders himself completely.

Vanessa Paradis with "Tamdem" is about having sex with somebody who's unobtainable, the guy will never be hers but this one night stand is too good to pass up.

Venus in Furs, Memento Mori

Great song about the dark side of marriage, as well as consensual sex:

The National, "Conversation 16"


I'm a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I want to believe in everything you believe
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore


...and then he talks about eating her brains.

 

[Thistlethorn]

Though this one is more about love, I adore the Eurythmics Love Is A Stranger

Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away

Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't
Get enough of the stuff

It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris

Also, in a completely different musical style, Gordon Lightfoot's Sundown

I can see her lyin'
back in her satin dress
in a room where ya do
what ya don't confess

Sundown ya better take care
if I find you been creepin'
'round my back stairs

She's been lookin' like a
queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say
what she really means

Sometimes I think it's a shame
when I get feelin' better
when I'm feelin' no pain

I can picture every move
that a man could make
Getting lost in her lovin'
is your first mistake

I can see her lookin' fast
in her faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman
got me feelin' mean

Also the song If You Could Read My Mind Love, particularly the line

When you reach the part where the heartaches
Come the hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just to hard to take


Yeah, Gordon Lightfoot did a lot of music to slit your wrists by.
