Phil, I understand what you are saying, but a guy in my school has used this song to sexually harass a girl. Why? Because trashy, degrading songs promote trashy, degrading attitudes. By the way, if your wife likes hearing "I know you want it," then she obviously doesn't respect herself. The majority of women don't like hearing that regardless of whether they do want it, because it sounds like something a rapist would say.
Obviously you haven't read the latest research from the book What Women Want. Nobody wants to really be in danger, just like nobody really wants to die on a roller coaster that goes off the rails. But people do like the thrill of a roller coaster knowing that in reality it's safe, just as women safely in trusting relationships do like "dirty" or dangerous talk in order to get the adrenaline up. So yes, there is a HUGE difference between some random jerk saying it and a woman's husband (during pre-approved sexy time) saying it to his wife. Context is...

Diagoras nailed it. Huge difference between random assholes and intimate partners using that language. If you can't recognise that difference, you've spent way too much time in the feminism echo chamber.

Would of upvoted you becasue your first three sentences are fantastic: I totally agree that "trashy, degrading songs promote trashy, degrading attitudes." But everything after "By the way..." is nonsense. If his wife likes to be sexually submissive within a consensual sexual relationship, that means NOTHING about if she respects herself or not. The difference is one of consent.

@saraheliana If a guy is dumb enough to misinterpret the song, that should not be our problem (nor should it be Thicke's problem).
But YOU are also misinterpreting the song - or pretending to. (See one of my posts above - the one with the lines about "...it ACTUALLY says...").
