YES! I was under-masturbatory age and found it ageist and discriminatory! AND I didn't understand how girls could b jack'd off, and there were no explanatory liner notes AND I was offended by the ugly hairs showing from the bikini underwear on the album sleeve.

I demand my money back! (I tried to contact NPGMC but my Apple IIC didn't have the memory to download the site).

I think the JWs might also b offended (stolen from a post in the P&R forum):


(1) The Watchtower - Feb. 15, 1976 (pp.122-3) "You Must Be Holy Because Jehovah Is Holy"

In recent years, homosexuality has swept the world. These homosexuals claim that they are 'bringing it out of the closet' and they brag by saying, 'We are proud to be such.' It was apparent that this erosion of moral standards could pose a danger or threat for God's holy people, so the congregations were alerted and wrongdoers were cleaned out. Likewise, unclean practices, such as masturbation , which can be a steppingstone to homosexuality, have been dealt with in a serious, yet understanding, way, to help individuals keep clean and pure in Jehovah's eyes. Later, another issue needed attention. Unnatural practices in connection with sex in marriage, such as oral and anal copulation, have caused some of God's people to become impure in his eyes. But The Watchtower kept above this morass of filth by alerting married couples to God's thinking on the matter. Also, fornication (por·nei'a, Greek), which is so detestable in God's sight, was shown to include all forms of immoral sex relations. (1 Cor. 6:9, 10) The information was appreciated, and those who quit such unclean practices were in complete agreement with David, who wisely asked of his heavenly Father, "From concealed sins pronounce me innocent."-Ps. 19:12

"I didn't understand how girls could be jacked off"


LOL...when I was finally told what it really means,I wondered the same thing.Alot of Prince's songs back then were like that.For example,The Time's first hit was called "Get It Up",a phrase that,normally,a woman would be saying to a MAN ("get it up,get it up,I can't wait anymore",Vanity sang just a year later).


Interestingly,I think even Prince was a little concerned about the perceived "homoeroticism" of the song "Jack U Off".When he performed this song on the 'Lovesexy' tour,he made sure to add the word "girl" to the song...


"If you're looking for somewhere to go,I could take you to a movie show,sit in the back,GIRL I'll jack U Off"

Now that you mentioned it,I honestly can't remember! Pull out the CD and check it out.If he did say "girl" on the album version,it must have been really quiet...lol...but on the 'Lovesexy' concert tapes that I have,he really stresses the word "girl".He makes sure you know exactly what he means!
