This song is about female sexuality and male sexual immaturity. And about the singer feeling both threatened by the male sexual image often portrayed these days (predatory, self serving and simplistically sexual) to the point where it makes him feel like something is wrong with him. He feels this way because when the female object of his desires cries, or screams or shows emotion he doesn't want to run like every man she knows; he sees her as more than simply "porno", that is a sexual object.
The singer of the song sees the female sexuality as a heavenly gift (sacred sighs) as opposed to the meaningless porno that men (described as little boys here; men are often referred to as emotionally juvenile) indulge in.
In short; this song proclaims that women are not just sexual objects.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE Arcade Fire! They're one of my favorite bands of all time. Along with making some of my favorite songs of all time. So there's confliction here for me giving the fact that I like porn. I mean... I treat women and men equally. I'm no sexist or misogynist. Whenever I look at an ass or a nice pair of titties I appreciate it greatly and to an extent believe it is truly sacred to some form... I mean it's beautiful you can't deny. So I hope thats all the song's about. Not being sexist...

So I hope thats all the song's about. Not being sexist and treating women like toys. I hope. I hope that's all they're saying. But who's to say that's it just men who treat women like toys. Why is it not vice versa? I mean... shure. We don't see it that often but it's out there. I mean I think they should be a bit equal themselves and put it on both sides of the story. But it's not my music. :) It's there's so I'm no one to complain, saying so. I'm just looking forward to Win discuss this one. :)
Biancholis: I don't think he's criticizing porn itself, but rather how some men see women as nothing more than an extension of the porn they can look up when they're alone. If there's no real connection, if it's just physical, then it's not really much different from masturbation.

I hope so. :) I also hope they have nothing against masturbation either. Haha! Lol. Okay... that last part was more of joke, though it does make me wonder. I love their songs! They've always been so thought provoking. I love it. Many people are lacking to hear that these days because they're to busy listening to Miley Cyrus's Wrecking Ball. XP God help us all.

Yes - women aren't just for emotion-free sex (like in porn). They're for emotion AND sex (the kind of sex that makes BOTH people happy!). I think many of us women would thank Win for putting that message out there!

nail on the head! This song is definitely one of the best on the album. I love that AF isn't afraid to put out this type of message.
