I was just 7 years old when the song “I Wanna Sex You Up” by Color Me Badd came out in 1991 and I am wondering, did anyone think it was sexy? Men, did you play this song whilst laying a woman down by a fire? Ladies, did you hope any members of this group would sex you up?
Good lord, just look at those guys. Hey, George Michael, I didn’t know you were in Color Me Badd. And look at that one guy’s mustache–if that man said he wanted to sex me up, I would spray that ‘stache with mace and run away. Also, unless you’re going to be giving me Ambien, I don’t think it’s possible for us to “do it ’til we both wake up.” What an absurd thing to say.
I’m also wondering if anyone thought “Do Me!” by Bell Biv DeVoe was hot? Sometimes this song comes on SiriusXM 90s on 9 while I am driving to work and if I don’t turn the channel fast enough, it makes me feel like my ears are being sexually harassed.
No, I do not want to do you in the morning or in the night, but thank you for the offer, Bell Biv DeVoe. Oh, and no, you definitely can not smack it up, flip it or rub it down.
The last question I have for everyone older than me–have you ever actually been laid down by a fire? Have you ever laid someone down by a fire? I am just curious. I want to be laid down by a fire, but part of me thinks it would get uncomfortably hot in the room. That’s what happens in my imagination, anyway, and then we have to switch rooms and it’s like ugggh we should have just done it in this room anyway and then afterward, someone has to go make sure the fire went out and it’s kind of annoying to get up (because I know it would have to be me) and then I go to sleep kind of annoyed that I “have to do everything around here.”
I loved both of these songs back in the day (I was 14). Scary! Have to say that I agree, those guys are very creepy. They were probably singing about roofies. I think that’s the only way any of them would get some action.

I don’t think I need to tell you how much my boys love that SNL skit. Though I had to draw the line on letting them rewatch the most recent digital short where Andy Samberg…um…should we say…pleasures himself…um…orally? That’s not something a mother needs to see with her 15-year-old son more than once, believe me.

Sexy time by a fire really doesn’t sound like my idea of fun. I get irritable when I get too hot, so although a blazing fire sounds all romantic and stuff, I’m pretty sure it would take every ounce of horniness out of me.
And I LOL’d at your talking about how you’d have to get up to make sure the fire was out and then getting pissed off at having to do everything around here. That would totally be me too!

The only time I tried to lay someone down by the fire, or relatively close to it anyway (in a tent), I heard my friend yell, “My cooler is melting.” Totally killed the mood and scared me from ever trying again.

I have never been seduced in front of a fire, probably because it is never cold enough down here to make a fire. However, one time in the heat of the moment a guy asked me, “Can I have you now?”. With the straightest face and bad acting look on his face. I asked him if he was serious. It didn’t work out. He wore a lot of vests.

Ha! Actually, more like an “actor” with normalcy problems. No pipe, but he did have an Armani cell phone and an actual cigarette case. All he had in his apartment was an air mattress, I am guessing because he spent all his money on a designer PHONE. I shouldn’t have even made out with him.

Oh man, I love that a woman’s mind has the ability to actually think about the entire fire scenario, temperature change, risk of popping coals, clean up etc. A guys mind pretty much screeches to a hault at we’re gonna do it? Then fireworks and stuff go off in our imagination. That last paragraph was hilarious and I wanna sex you up will be in my head the rest of the day so thanks for that. Also, for the record, I own two sweater vests because sometimes I want to have a warm torso and look dashing.
