I had no clue that it is supposed to have a thing to do with someone’s sexuality. It is my understanding that many men do so for the pleasure and satisfaction of the women they go out with.

not just randomly but I have. In fact, that gives me another song I need to go look up on YouTube...

Write some lyrics from the song you’re listening to.
“Cause baby we’ll be

in the old man’s ford,

behind the bushes
til I’m screamin’ for more

and lock the cellar door
and baby, talk dirty to me”
