[quote=Anonymous]The song was written at the time when pre-marital sex (let alone casual sexual hookups) was frowned upon.  So, this is really about wanting to taste the "forbidden fruit".

The guy is trying to make her stay by being all chivalrous and being solicitous of her comfort so the line about "it is cold outside", the woman wants to stay but she does not want to come across as "easy" and so she is protesting halfheartedly.  I think it is a very sexy and seductive song, mainly because the sexual longing and sexual attraction is so obvious, but they are being so very proper about what is on their mind.

The songs that we hear nowadays are explicit to the point of numbing us to the magic of an intimate romantic relationship.     Butt, menage, bare that ass, anaconda.., we do not blink when we hear these words and phrases in the songs today because the sex-act is so devalued and explicit in our culture.   I am sorry but there is a big difference between what can be considered erotic and what is porn.
