Examples of popular music lyrics describing degrading and nondegrading sex

Type of sex	Lyrics
Degrading	Get on top then get to bouncing round like a low rider
	I’m a seasoned vet when it come to this shit
	After you work up a sweat you can play with the stick
	I’m tryin to explain baby the best way I can
	I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands
	Ay bitch! Wait ’til you see my dick
	Wait ’til you see my dick
	Ay bitch! Wait ’til you see my dick
	I’m gonna beat that pussy up
Nondegrading	Come a little closer baby, I feel like strippin’ it down
	Back to the basics of you and me
	And what makes the world go round
	Every inch of you across my skin
	I wanna be stronger than we’ve ever been
	I’m here to cater to you
	Any thing that you want me to do I’ll do it
	Cause I’ll be your lover
	I’ll be your lover
	I’ll be your best friend
	Tell me what I gotta do
	Tell me what I gotta do and I’ll do it
