" Sex Rules " is a song by American singer Sky Ferreira from her debut extended play (EP), As If! (2011). It was released on March 1, 2011, by Capitol Records as the lead single from the EP. The song was written by Ferreira, Greg Kurstin , Billy Steinberg , and Daniel Lutrell, while production was handled by Kurstin. Looking to transition from the disco music elements seen in her earlier single "17", Ferreira explored electropop and synth-pop styles with "Sex Rules". In the track, Ferreira frankly declares her infatuation for sexual intercourse.

Contemporary music critics commended "Sex Rules" in their reviews, and expressed a particular appreciation for its experimental production. However, the track failed to impact any national record charts . Furthermore, an accompanying music video for the song was never released.

After releasing the tracks "17", " One ", and " Obsession ", Ferreira announced that her debut studio album would be released on January 11, 2011. [1] However, it was instead replaced by her first extended play (EP) As If! , which was made available on March 22. [2] In anticipation of its release, Capitol Records commissioned "Sex Rules" as the lead single from the project; it was released through the iTunes Store on March 1, 2011. [3] The track, and Ferreira herself, were featured in a commercial for the American fashion house Calvin Klein ; she believed that the publicity she received from her projects in the fashion industry was beneficial to her aspirations in the music industry, and specifically credited her first collaboration with Calvin Klein with "[making] a lot of different audiences, both in fashion and music, aware of my work." [4]

"Sex Rules", in addition to the remaining four tracks featured on As If! , was co-written by Ferreira. Greg Kurstin , Billy Steinberg , and Daniel Lutrell provided songwriting contributions during its creation, while Kurstin was solely responsible for overseeing its production. [5] The track prominently explores electropop [4] and synth-pop [6] musical styles, particularly showcasing trends popularized with 1980s music . [7] It represents a stylistic departure from Ferreira's previous tracks and her later projects; "17" was noted for its blending of disco components, [8] while tracks on her second extended play Ghost (2012) and debut studio album Night Time, My Time (2013) experimented with elements more commonly associated with indie pop . [9] In "Sex Rules", Ferreira verbalizes her appreciation for sexual intercourse ; [7] during the chorus, she sings "Sex rules, use your god-given tools / Sex rules, I pity the fools who realize too late / Love, sex, and god are great / Oh oh, oh oh, sex rules." [ citation needed ]

"Sex Rules" received generally favorable reviews from contemporary music critics . Writing for MTV Buzzworthy , Nicole James complimented the track for its successful blending of "super early Madonna " and " 21st-century synthpop", and drew similarities to the music of artists such as Chromeo , La Roux , and Robyn . She concluded her commentary by describing the song as "fun [and] sexy". [7] Bradley Stern from MuuMuse spoke favorably of "Sex Rules" in his review for As If! ; he directed his praise towards its "blippy, skittering electronica beats and a big fat slapping bass ", while additionally noting its apparent inspiration by pop singer Britney Spears . [10] A writer for Idolator expressed excitement that Ferreira continued pursuing her musical endeavors after her earlier cover version of " Animal " by Miike Snow . They commended Ferreira and Steinberg for developing a "hard-to-resist tune" that merged 1980s inspiration with the artistic individuality that Ferreira had become associated with, and thought that the track would help her establish prominence in mainstream culture. [11] Writing for Rolling Stone , Colleen Nika was confident that "Sex Rules" introduced a "spiky" sound that could become popular in the evolving contemporary hit radio market. [4] However, The New York Times ' Jon Caramanica opined that the "dry" vocal performance made it difficult for Ferreira to meaningfully deliver the lyrics. [12]

Thou shalt not leave the used condom hanging off the top of the garbage can.
One of the benefits of having sex in a long-term relationship is that you can, over time, discuss the things that slightly miff you ("I don't like having the Bon Iver playlist on during sex. Like, once is fine. But every time??? My vag isn't an Urban Outfitters.") But casual sex is tricky — people are more likely to never see someone again than honestly critique the hookup experience if it was subpar for easily-fixable reasons. So here are 11 hookup etiquette rules that every 11/10, would-bone-again guy should follow:
1. Getting you off, or at least really trying to. Ugh, don’t be that “nice guy” who offers to go down on you, performs a few aimless licks far from any erogenous zone, and then immediately asks for a blow job.
2. Providing the condom. Women have to deal with IUDs, daily pills, monthly vaginal rings, or routine shots for the sake of preventing pregnancy. The least, the absolute least a guy can do is bring the condom to cover the STI part. Oh, and one from a box on his nightstand — NOT some prehistoric, probably-torn wrapper buried in his wallet.

Whether it’s a friends-with-benefits situation or a Tinder date gone right, here’s how to ensure everyone wakes up happy the next morning.
Make like the Boy Scouts and be prepared.

While it goes against conventional wisdom, I’m a staunch opponent of the idea that sex is always better with someone you love. To me, sex is like basketball: a pleasurable activity you can do with alone or with others, with varying degrees of formality. And pickup basketball can be quite invigorating.
After four years with an exclusive, committed partner, they usually know at least four to six things that you reliably like doing. You’ve likely brought up your kinks and turn offs. You’re unafraid to say “one inch to the left.” But sex with the same person, with whom you currently have a minor standoff going over who’s going to call the landlord about the water spot in the ceiling in the kitchen, can also become rote in a way casual sex cannot.
Casual sex , of course, can suffer from its newness or lack of intimacy on occasion—we all have lackluster one night stand stories. But casual sex offers novelty. In the same way that it’s fun to stay in a hotel, even if you have no desire to live there, there’s something inherently sexy about getting down and dirty with a new person.
Because the delicate bubble of casual sex is very easily burst, here are some guidelines for making casual sex… well, casual.
If you’re in the market for casual hookups, always operate under the assumption that you two will be heading back to your place at the end of the night. Even though you’ll inevitably end up staying elsewhere from time-to-time, casualness is something that you should exude through your attitude, not your apartment’s cleanliness level, so best to just be prepared. Own more than one towel . Own at least as many pillows as there are sex participants. The amenities don’t need to be expensive or luxurious—you’re not opening a spa—but you definitely want your guests to feel comfortable. Perhaps the most important thing to have on hand? Condoms. You’re definitely going to need a stash of those. None of this hemming and hawing about how it feels better without one—if that’s you, then do yourself a favor and buy some better ones . Buy 17 different kinds so you can switch it up every night! I don’t care. If you’re having casual sex, accept that condoms will always be part of that equation.
Casual sex, like a delicate mousse, is deceptively complex to get right, easily ruined by over-mixing, and—most importantly—best enjoyed when it’s light and fluffy. The point is, this isn’t the time nor the place for conversations about how you’re coping with your dad’s new girlfriend post your mom’s abrupt move to Barbados. Casual hookups can be militantly Sex-Only, or they can involve a drink or two at a nice bar with some Michelob Light-grade conversation. This is an occasion in which normally-lackluster topics like “Where did you grow up?” and “What do you do?” really shine. Now, this isn’t an invitation to be boring or taciturn, it’s just a plea for you to keep it easy-breezy. Ask about movies, books, or music if you want, but don’t try to peacock about your Bitcoin investment or SAT scores. Smoke a bowl. Invite someone over and tell them a little too much about red wine flavor profiles, which you learned from YouTube videos. Show them a video of your dog trying to climb a tree to get a squirrel. Avoid digging deeper.
This goes for activities as well as conversation. Don’t suggest hangs that can be easily misconstrued as a date—sit-down meals, movies, museums, and the like. That’s not keeping it casual. That’s a non-exclusive relationship. Or, more likely, one person gearing up to want more than casual sex.
There is a scene in Ratatouille that no one outside of my family remembers, in which Linguini accuses Remy (the rat chef) of “getting fancy with the spices.” In familial parlance it’s become shorthand for going overboard out of desperation to do well. Casual sex is not the place to try things with which you don’t already have a baseline comfort level. There’s a huge difference between, “I’ve never had sex in a car, wanna help me out?” and “Let’s dabble in BDSM tonight.” Being up for anything—a good outlook when it comes to casual sex—really means, “up for fairly common sex acts that we’re both comfortable with, perhaps with minor, fun twists.” It doesn’t mean you need to test drive your kinkiest fantasies.
If you hook up with someone one time—say from a dating app, or a tipsy make out with a long-time acquaintance after your mutual friend’s house party—you don't need to debrief the next day. The sine qua non of one-time sex is that it requires so little of us. If, however, you two fall into the horny pattern of repeating your no-strings boning, you need to establish some boundaries, especially if you ever see one another outside of the bedroom. At this point, you need to say something like, “Are you cool with keeping this casual? No big deal if you aren’t, I just want to be on the same page because that’s what I’m looking for.” And then if you crazy kids continue to engage in unattached sexcapades, set more specific rules from there , and accept that it won’t be the last time you talk about them. Casual sex does require some work after all.
Prolonged proximity leads to intimacy, whether you like it or not. If you hang out with someone long enough, you become friends, and then you’re friends who are regularly sleeping together and spending the subsequent day together, and then bam! The next thing you know, you’re at CVS getting them a cheesy Valentine's Day card. I’m not suggesting you grab your pants and do a Mission Impossible dive out the nearest 5-story window the moment you’re finished coming. I’m just saying that breakfast is intimate, as is cuddling together for hours watching Tuca & Bertie, and intimacy and casualness tend to extinguish one another.
Most hookups don’t start with someone coming up to another person and asking, “Would you be down to have some sex tonight with no expectations for the future and no commitment whatsoever? I’m thinking we do it for about 4-6 months and let slowly let it taper out as we find other people that we’re actually into.” That’s not to discourage you from being open or direct, but to warn you of what casual sex requires. (Like all sex, it requires full, enthusiastic consent). In a casual relationship, however, someone may never explicitly end things with you. They may never tell you that they don’t want you to stay over after sex. If they’re a friend or acquaintance, you both may have to renegotiate your friendship a bit after you’ve slept together. You may need to navigate weird situations like what role you play at their birthday. Part of the agreement is that because things are so casual, a lot of communication is done with broad strokes and surface-level emotions, rather than long, sit-down, emotional conversations. Don’t ask for that, and don’t expect it.
This is the number one rule actually. You two aren’t dating, you don’t get a say on what they do or what they wear or who else they have relationships with. (I mean, you don’t get a say on what your partner wears when you’re dating, either). You only get to set your boundaries, and hopefully that meshes with their expectations too. Don’t get possesive. Don’t religiously stalk their Instagram. Don’t publicize that you two are hooking up. Don’t start going the extra mile by offering to pick up their parents from the airport, which sets up a dynamic that once again replicates dating. Just be cool, put in a moderate amount of effort, and have fun.

Why does the Bible have so many laws about sexual behavior? Is God trying to limit our sexual expression and pleasure? When we look at God's instructions, it's clear that he sets boundaries around the gift of sex in order to keep us healthy physically and whole relationally.
