Go Deep: A Brief History Of Janet Jackson’s Raunchiest Sex Anthems

5. “Rope Burn” (The Velvet Rope) 1997

Take off my clothes No one has to know Whisperin I wanna feel a soft rope burn

The lyrics to this blush-inducing anthem speak for themselves. I’m told “Rope Burn” is still in high rotation wherever there is a pole to swing on.

6. “Go Deep” (The Velvet Rope) 1998

Ooh I’m gettin freaked from behind I don’t even mind Cuz he’s lookin damn fine

It says a lot about the relaxed social mores of the late ’90s than Jan’s ode to anal was a hit on pop radio and a major hit around the globe. The fact that it’s a total jam certainly helped radio programmers overlook the rampant innuendo.

7. “Love Scene (Ooh Baby)” (All For You) 2001

Feel your touch As your hands move slowly Up my thighs You taste the honey

If you thought Janet was going to find some chill after airing all her bedroom habits on The Velvet Rope, you’re obviously too young to remember the All For You era. The nude album cover should have been some indication that the hitmaker still had sex on the brain and she let it all hang out on tracks like “Love Scene (Ooh Baby).”

8. “Would You Mind” (All For You) 2001

Baby would you mind coming inside of me Letting your juices free

Easily one of the freakiest songs Janet ever whispered over a sensual beat. Not for the weak of heart.
