Apparently hip-hop is a public health issue these days, with experts analyzing everything from the language of the hip-hop to who controls the dance space during your average bump-and-grind session in a club (the answer: women, just like Patrick Swayze said it should be). In case you were wondering, the latest research says that it's the message, not the medium, that's to blame: apparently degrading sexual lyrics may encourage teens to have sex sooner, while those mushy, makin' love lyrics familiar to R&B fans don't do a thing (Casanovas, take note).

Ja Rule's "Livin' It Up" (Half the ho's hate me, half them love me") was cited as an example in the degrading category, and anything by 98 Degrees ("I'm dreamin' day and night of making love") was deemed as harmless as the high school chess club president.

Can you remember what lyrics kept you up at night when you were starting to think about having sex for the first time? Did any song ever make you feel like you just had to get it on? And what about now--is there any song that you avoid listening to if you're working on a temporary bout of celibacy? Our friend Kelly swears that the Stones's "Beast of Burden" is to blame for every single booty call she's ever made. Of course, at least half the time she's the one selecting it on the bar's jukebox.
