Let's Talk About Sex!
The song talks about safe sex, the positive and negative sides of sex and the censorship that sex had around that time in mainstream media. The song was later included in the trio’s Greatest Hits (2000) album. It samples “I’ll Take You There” by the Staple Singers. An alternate version of the song entitled “Let’s Talk About AIDS” was released to radio on a promotional single and included as a b-side on various singles for the song. The lyrics were changed to more directly address the spread of AIDS and HIV.
The music video for “Let’s Talk About Sex” starts in a black-and-white scene with a girl turning on a radio and listening to the song. Then she starts kissing her boyfriend and scenes of Salt-N-Pepa and other couples kissing and hugging are shown. Next the video colorizes when Salt-N-Pepa are shown dancing. Another version of the video has a scene in which a skeleton is shown after the word ‘AIDS’ with a stamp written ‘censored’ in his mouth.
