There are a lot of "suggestive" songs. Should the opinion of a minority pull them off the air? If yes, then I guess I'll be hearing less rap.
My point was that because we now generally have a greater awareness of such issues, it changes many people's perception of the song so it becomes less popular.

If a guy I was into said maybe half a drink more after I coyly said no, I might, very willingly, agree to it. Sometimes, a woman actually wants to be convinced. Shocking! I don’t know how many times I’ve said I’m not in the mood and then was put in the mood and had amazing sex.
Ya know, I agree with you here. After pondering this a bit, I think the problem lies in simply reading the lyrics in text format, rather than considering the song for what it is, and what it was always meant to be: a fun holiday tune about a lustful night in front of the fire. What is the difference between coercion and seduction? A big fucking difference, depending entirely on the details of any given scenario. Context is literally everything. It’s the difference between reading words on a page, and listening to this song, which was clearly never meant to portray anything nefarious or predatory.
