Which music video is responsible for your sexual awakening?

[enroutes]

I think mine has to be peter andre's Mysterious Girl!

I was born in 86 for reference

I had a huge girl crush on Debbie Harry in the late 70s.
also on Gary Numan, but don't like to mention that

The Horrible Histories parody of Stand and Deliver

Dave Lee Roth, jump, saw it on MTV I wanted to lick the telly...

Then later on Til Lindermann (Rammstein) in Du Riechst So Gut tho one with the flowers,.........

Hottest video definitely Untitled by D’Angelo but my first pop love was probably (not actually a music video) Cliff Richard in ‘Summer Holiday’

My later sexual awakening music video was The Drowners by Suede.

This ! Woke me up big time

Freddie Mercury on TOTP wearing some sort of silver outfit, and baring a lot of hairy chest. Not sure what he was singing but I felt the first stirring of my loins (aged about 11)
Later, Alice Cooper and Poison really did it for me!

@bottlenose301

God, I cringe when I think how much I loved R Kelly’s 12 Play album! ‘Feels like youre reaaaaady...to go all the way’. Creep!

I forgot about Jodeci. At about 16, Freek N U was my anthem

Chrissie Hynde singing "Brass in Pocket"!

@ZooNaNa haha I'm the same! I had a major crush on him too..

Jodeci yes! All their songs.

Also Twisted - Keith Sweat

As a fully heterosexual female Shakira in Whenever, Wherever made me doubt my sexuality for a good 6 months....

Now that I think about it, I was massively confused as a 5 year old when I first saw Roger Taylor in the video for I Want to Break Free. I wouldn't call it a sexual awakening because I didn't even know what sex was, but there was something about him that I was drawn to. When I watch it now, I can totally see what that something was 😁

I think I can date mine very precisely to the moment John Taylor licks his lips atop the Eiffel Tower in A View To A Kill

Not a video but Get Off by Prince.

Jesus, he was filth

Quit Playing Games by Backstreet Boys. The end when they're all shirtless in the rain. I recorded it and nearly wore out the video pausing and rewinding 🤣

@RiseoftheSeahorse

In Demand by Texas. I’m fully convinced that video only came about because Sharleen Spiteri wanted to spend hours cuddling/ rubbing up against Alan Rickman. And who can blame her?

It sounds so weird on paper- “so we’ll spend the entire video cuddling in a car apart from one scene where we inexplicably tango in a Shell forecourt”- but it certainly works

I read an interview years ago with Sharleen and that’s basically the truth! They asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted to dance with Alan Rickman. I watched that video A. Lot. Would have killed to be held like that by him

@burblish

Duran Duran’s concept concert film “Arena” (basically a 2 hour music video!) - John Taylor was breathtakingly beautiful (and still is gorgeous).

Preach

My mate and I watched that film, ohhhh maybe 678000 times. I can still quote most of it off by heart.

However, my true awakening was probably Bowie in the China Girl video, closely followed by his turn as the Goblin King.

Honourable mention to Michael Hutchence in...pretty much anything,

Lots of great memories on this thread!

Mine was a film. That bit in Room with a view. If you’ve seen it you’ll know

Oh hang on I'm thinking of Sing Blue Silver I think Anyway, we watched A LOT of Duran Duran in those days.

@Meggie2008 OMG Ville Valo! I had such an extreme crush

Prince Charming.

When i read the thread title i thought:
''Well lets think; it's adam ant in that prince charming video, but i'm not going to admit it on there, no one else will remember it!''

But along came my fellow MNers! :) :) :)

Oh and i'd like to also mention 'Don't Stand SO Close To Me', Police.

I was 11. I didn't even know what i was feeling was a crush on Sting but i knew i was feeling something!

Thanks for the Adam Ant videos, keep em coming.

Love Adam's quirkiness, one of my favourite song lyrics of all time is from Lady; I saw a lady and she was naked. I saw a lady she had no clothes on. I had a good look through the crack. Footmarks up her back? How did they get there? She was naked!

Here's You're. So. Phy. Sic. Al!

Leif Garrett - I was made for dancin'! 🤣
Reached no 4 in UK charts Jan 1979 - just looked it up! I would have been 12.

For the Adam Rickitt fans - him and his wife run a bar and put loads of great singing videos on their Facebook page. He’s still a babe

My awakening video was probably Wish You We’re Here by Incubus. Holy Jesus Brandon Boyd was/is just an absolutely god.

Anyone who doesn’t know who he is...
