I agree with namesake. For the longest time, I just figured this was another one of Beck's bizarrely filthy songs. And the verses definately support this. But the chorus was DEFINATELY written to imply a double meaning. Also, his way of spelling Sexx with two x's gives most of us the image of dirtiness. But in a biological interpretation, XX simply refers to gender (you're so clever, Beck!).
To reiterate what namesake said:
I want to defy
The logic of all sex laws
---Forget about gender rules
Let the handcuffs slip off your wrists
---Free yourself from society's restrictions
I'll let you be my chaperone
At the halfway home
---You can escort me, even though society says not to
I'm a full grown man
But I'm not afraid to cry
---I can show emotions (which is "effeminate")
You have to remember that at his core, Beck is a satirist. So even though he's embracing the over-sexed dance culture with this over-sexed dance song, he's giving a critique of it at the same time.
