"...If U're drivin' me, then maybe Sexual suicide" Love, love, love this song. It's "people gonna talk sexual suicide," not "take a sexual suicide." From DTT: Ow! Baby, if U take a walk Take a walk and leave me behind Baby, U gonna walk, yeah Gonna walk right out of your mind We were meant 2 be We got no reason, reason 2 lie Baby, if U take a walk People gonna talk sexual suicide Baby, if U only knew All the love, all the love that's deep in my heart Ooh baby, me and U Wouldn't be nothing that could tear us apart Honey, every night Cool surrender - lost in my arms U, U feel so right Doin' it in the cuff sounds your alarm Baby, come take a walk People gonna talk sexual suicide Ain't no body like my body, baby Ain't no ride like my ride Super skinny-minded, baby If U try 2 leave me, baby - sexual suicide Sugar, ain't it a shame That U won't play the game U got 2 much pride U make your bed But U gotta sleep with the sexual, sexual suicide Suicide - sexual, sexual suicide (Sexual, uh huh, sexual suicide) {x6} U take a walk People gonna talk Somebody flip me over Any liars in the house? No? Hey! Ha ha ha Eric... Makes a huge difference. Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

All that I light heartedly meant by posting this thread, is that I
assumed that sexual suicide meant, not having to be alone, On that impending moment. Prince wrote it and your'e calling me nuts? I think he's a genius. 8 [Edited 10/5/07 2:30am] "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

This song is not about suicide at all. Sexual suicide is just a metaphor.
In fact these lyrics are pretty cocky, now that I think of it... | |

Sexual suicide isn't a metaphor. 
He's just telling her that if she leaves him, people are going to say she committed sexual suicide. Because...ya know...she'll never find anyone else who's as good in the sack as he. It ain't that deep.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I was really close with the death by  surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water

Genesia said: No. Asking someone else to kill you isn't suicide.
Any prosecutor will tell you that. Wouldn't this be euthanasia (still murder in the eyes of the law)? love the one who is Love! | |

It ain't that deep. And once again we're being told by our always humble and modest Prince, what a great lover he is. I would love to hear some kind of confirmation out of the mouth of one of his countless lovers.
Most guys seem to think of themselves, as being great lovers. That doesn't necessarily mean they're really all that great. I bet, most of us girls had a lover who couldn't keep his promise and turned out to be the weakest link instead. love the one who is Love! | |

When I first saw the title I was Like "oh cool prince is singing about being unsafe sex....” boy was I let down.
The song is in a nutshell about Prince telling a woman that wants to leave him that his sex skills are so good that she will miss it so much that it would be like she killed her own sex life. Thus Sexual Suicide... [Edited 10/5/07 9:08am] "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" |

Well, in my perverted mind that the loving God hath bestowed on me...
I would suggest that it means that this man is stating, that he loves her so much, that if she assumes she's leaving this kind of love, They will talk, Sexual suicide because....To leave his passion would be a recurring thought, beneathe him....Should she choose to leave the affair...One thrust of love, is all it would take to take her life....In this song, he offers the choice to his lover. Death by natural causes? Or my loving heart attack? "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

Where you get all this from? Where does he offer this choice other than in your mind?beneathe him....Should she choose to leave the affair...One thrust of love, is all it would take to take her life....In this song, he offers the choice to his lover.

It's not a metaphor...because suicide still means suicide. A life is still being taken -- only in this case, it's her sexual life. It's a simple adjective (sexual)/noun (suicide) scenario. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

It ain't that deep. Geez, thank you. Sometimes people look too deeply into things. This was just a simple pop song about Prince's sexual abilities. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
