He was pretty raunchy in the early 80's but then in the early 90's songs with like "I wanna melt with u" , "Gett off", "Violet the Organ Grinder", "Cream" and the whole "Come" situation, assless chaps at the VMAS, I don't know which era is the raunchiest.

That's one way to look at it but do you think songs like "Head', "Jack u off" are sophisticated ?

"Look here, Martha. I'm not sayin' this just to be nasty. But I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth. Can you relate?"

Met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine

This one is both:

1. a woman sitting in a lobby masturbating while flipping a magazine (sophisticated)
2. a woman sitting in a lobby vehemently jamming a mag up her snatch (sleazy)

They weren't ass-less. He was fully covered, including his butt.

I think Prince was more raunchy in the 80s. "Head," "Sister," "Let's Pretend We're Married," "Erotic City," "Jack U Off," "Horny Toad," etc. That's just raunchy.

The 90s, while raunchy, delved more into eroticism and fetishism. "Pheromone" is a good example. Sometimes the depth of it gets lost in the singing, but to just read the words. The song is about him watching a couple have a BDSM or capture-sex moment. He himself is going crazy just watching.

I can see the hands tied, I can see it all
He pulls a gat - this is how they play the game
And I'm 'round the back cuz curiosity, it knows no shame

I'm on fire cuz I never seen her nude before
I wanna save her, I want 2 watch
All my vital signs go up a couple of notches
When he unties her and she runs 2 the open door
He trips and grinds her right there all on the floor
She’s so close I can touch her

Her eyes are closed but there's no penetration
He just makes her point the pistol 2 his nose while he masturbates
And I see a tear headed down towards her smile

It's a freaky situation. But it's fetishism and eroticism. It's great storytelling, actually. There are plenty of other examples. He grew in how he wrote about sex and love in the 90s. Sexy-Prince was still there, but he had some experience under his belt (pun intended).

"As long as you wash between your soul and through your hair....I'll do my duty there".

80s was Prince saying "I want to do these things to you"
90s was Prince saying "I'm going to do these things to you".

Lovesexy is the weirdest song ever...if its true that he was trippin on Ecstacy or acid or whatever, during the Black Album/Lovesexy era, he was either zooted off some shit or fiending for some shit, when he wrote/produced that joint... great song though...synth-funk masterpiece Everybody on the block say it is the best The most vital is what they say, more or less It put my name upon my thigh It makes me dance, It makes me cry And when I touch it race cars burn rubber in my pants This feeling's so good in every single way I want it morning, noon and night of every day And if, by chance, I cannot have it, I can't say But with it I know heaven's just a kiss away Kiss away Dig me now Anyone that's ever touched it They don't want nothin else (No they don't) And I got to tell the world I just can't keep it to myself All in life becomes easier No question is unresolved And I'm not afraid Come on and touch it, I know you will love it With it I know that heaven's a butterfly kiss away WTF IS HE TALKIN'BOUT ? sounds like some good blow........

Ask Cat.

She was the main one around during that time. Apparently she's the only one who understood him during this phase of his.

Ingrid Chavez was around him alot then too... let her (and others) tell it.

I don't think he confided in her as much compared to Cat during that time. She said some very intense things were going on during that time.
