Best deep cut or obscure sexual songs
Of any genre, so long as they are unknown to the casual listener, or wouldn't instantly spring to mind when thinking of sex.
'Grab Thy Hand' by Chevelle is a favourite of mine. It conveys the desperation and sinister edge of male lust in a forthright way, and the pulsing guitar mantra combined with the yelps and growls of the singer create a darkly-sexual atmosphere.

Love the veiled innuendo of this underrated gem - most people won't even realize what it's really about!

R2 good one. Prince has so many unknown sexy songs, and that's not even going into the thousand bootlegs and unreleased vault cuts...
IMO one of the best of his, that everyone overlooks, is 'Mr. Goodnight' from PLANET EARTH (2007, it was the free album he gave away). Critics hated it, calling it a cheesy 'pimp rap', but years later I'd admit sheepishly that I think it's a smooth hyperromantic piece of spoken-word seduction. When it comes to Prince, you really have to surrender and go with him to fully get it, without blushing and squirming.
We could dance all day picking songs just by Prince, but here are my honourable mentions from the official releases (in reverse chronological order): 'BREAKFAST CAN WAIT' (2013, ART OFFICIAL AGE), 'Dance 4 Me' (2009, MPLSoUND), 'Incense and Candles' (2006, 3121), 'Ripopgodazippa' (1998, CRYSTAL BALL), 'Right Back Here In My Arms' (1996, EMANCIPATION), 'Shhh' (1995, THE GOLD EXPERIENCE), 'Come' (1994, COME), 'Scarlet Pussy' 'Irresistible Bitch' 'Shockadelica' and 'Power Fantastic' (1993, THE HITS/THE B SIDES), 'The Max' (1992, [LOVE SYMBOL]). 'Electric Chair' (1989, BATMAN), and 'Bambi' (1979, PRINCE).

During a live 'Strangers in the Night' concert in Louisville (18th October, 1978), Phil Mogg fumbles the spoken-word intro to 'Only You Can Rock Me', in a way the DL will appreciate.

Many QOTSA songs: 'You Would Know' & 'You Can't Quit Me, Baby' (QOTSA, 1998); 'I Never Came' & 'Little Sister' (LULLABIES TO PARALYZE, 2005); 'Misfit Love' & Sick Sick Sick' (ERA VULGARIS, 2007); that cover they did of Romevoid's 'Never Say Never' (RATED R, 2010).
'If I Had A Tail' (from ...LIKE CLOCKWORK, 2013) might be the most fun, most sexy, and the best vibe for Hallowe'en. 'Gitchy, gitchy, ooh la la....'

This was played at the punk clubs I went to in LA and SF almost 40 years ago. I still have it on vinyl.
