“The Entire Song Is About Masturbation!”

“It deeply bothered this male pastor to acknowledge that a woman created a hit single centered around female pleasure. He made sure to abstain from bringing up the hundreds of platinum hits by male rappers that objectified women and reduced them to glory holes for their community dicks.”

It is 2 AM. And I am dancing to “Oops” by Tweet in my bedroom naked, reliving the 90s/early 2000s nostalgia of black music.

Growing up, Tweet was the living representation of a black goddess in my eyes. The first time I saw the music video to this song I witnessed a gorgeous, tall, chocolate-complexioned woman confidently swaying her hips while she sang about one of the most taboo topics in existence as it relates to sexuality.

Yes, my dear friends, I am referring to female masturbation, the seemingly-radical concept that a woman can actually experience an orgasm in peace without any man around to selfishly intercept her flow of pleasure to focus on his needs.

I was a teenager when a visiting pastor came to our church to preach. I didn’t care for god at the time (I still don’t) so I pretty much tuned out his message about hip hop music’s negative influence on the Christian church. But the moment he randomly brought up Tweet’s song my ears automatically perked up.
