Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 15–16

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some sexist imagery among all the sexy imagery.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    The album as a whole is pretty much all about sex. Sexy lyrics in the popular song "SexyBack" include something about getting whipped "if I misbehave," all delivered with a wink.
  • Language:

    Some four-letter words that will be offensive to many parents ("motherf--ker," for example).
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    A couple of references to drinking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About FutureSex/LoveSounds

Parents need to know that there is some strong language (a few "motherf--ker"s) and whole lot of sexual innuendo and steaminess here. In fact, the CD is pretty much all about sex. The song "SexyBack" has a very steamy and stylish video to match.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it might be like to be in a boy band and then strike off on your own. Would it be liberating or scary? Is there something to be said for finding safety in limits? How hard do you think Timberlake is working to make you forget he once looked as innocent as Joey or J.C.?

    Sexy dance music; teens only

    Sexual Content: Big issue. References to oral sex and something about getting whipped if you misbehave. Many songs have the words sex or sexy in the lyrics. Timberlake appears sexist on a few songs as well. Violence: Not an issue. Language: Iffy. Two motherf-ckers in popular song "SexyBack". B-tch in another. One song includes multiple uses of the word d-mn. Hell is part of anothers chorus. (Used in refrence to the place.) Social Behaviour: A bit of sexism throughout the lyrics. Alot of I'm gonna take you home and do what I want with you kind of stuff. A few songs are also about staying together and comitment however such as "My Love", "Until the End Of Time", and "(Another Song) All Over Again". Commercialism: Not an issue. Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco: One refrence to the yellow bottle. The song "Losing My Way" talks about the white rock and the pipe, explaining how it can ruin your life. FutureSex / LoveSounds Pause for 17+ Very sexy dance music with alot of sexy imagery, a bit of language, and a few drug and alcohol refrences. A bit of sexism is also thrown in the mix. Great album! The best of 2006 (or the decade) A MUST buy! Favorites: SexyBack, My Love, LoveStoned, What Goes Around, Summer Love, Until the End Of Time, and Losing My Way. :D
