One of the latest songs to explore sex in public comes from Assassin in his collaboration with Usher for Love In This Club. The song itself talks about sex in explicit terms but Assassin brings it to the public area as he deejays "di way wi inna di zone is like nobody else no inna di club" then sweetly croons to the girl "because yuh looking so fine and yuh have di likkle miniskirt weh mi like so yuh can mek it ride up pretend no one's beside us."
Vybz Kartel, known for his risqué lyrics takes sex into the light of a national reggae festival. In Tic Toc Kartel talks about women being proud of their 'assets' and body by having sex in public, as he says "Gal pull yuh bre mek u man tun bres/&% him all inna Reggae Sumfest."
A changing world seems to explain why there is a sexual shift. In an interview with the STAR, writer and lecturer at the University of the West Indies Dr Donna Hope explained why dancehall drew so much on sexuality rather than its predecessor reggae music.
She said, "reggae music is a part of our culture, it produced dancehall. Dancehall is the more contemporary version and it draws from contemporary issues such as sexuality."
Whereas Jamaicans were once reticent about sex it seems to have become more accepting in the public domain as the songs get more raunchy.
