Are you giving Roberta flack?

No offense, tomarin, but “Feel Like Makin’ Love” was initially released as a single in 1974, which was, like, the height of the sexual revolution. My mother caught me listening to the song on the radio back in the '90s, and she was offended by it. Yes, my mother is a Catholic.

“Making love” hasn’t always been a euphemism for sex. It meant doing romance-type stuff. That’s why it became the euphemism.

The rest if the lyrics are generic “I love you I need love love is great” stuff and nothing explicit. So I think it’s fine.

A huge amount of rock music has implied sexual themes. Many songs speak, usually in a thinly veiled manner about actually having sex, which is immoral. It’s carnal lust glorified, seems to me.

(I think my subjunctive clause or whatever you call it was misplaced. It’s not sex initself that is immoral, far as I know.)

Yes. 10 characters.

Not offensive. I find rap offensive big time and a lot of other stuff that passes off as music today.

I don’t know for sure, but I’ll ask my wife what she thinks about the song.

I can think of about a dozen or more country songs from the same era that are WAY worse and have a creep factor of about 10 of 10.

Speaking of sex in general. There’s nothing wrong with healthy sex when it happens between two people who love each other and devoted to each other, in the privacy of their own home as a physical expression of the feelings they have for each other.

 

[edwest211]

Please don’t change the subject.

To post that says sex is fine as long as it’s between two consenting adults in their privacy. That’s only fine if they’re married.

There’s nothing wrong with healthy sex when it happens between two people who love each other and devoted to each other, in the privacy of their own home as a physical expression of the feelings they have for each other.

Here, let me fix that for you to reflect an orthodox Catholic understanding.

“There’s nothing wrong with healthy sex when it happens between two married people who love each other and devoted to each other in Holy Matrimony, in the privacy of their own home as a physical expression of the feelings they have for each other.”
