"Love Sex Magic" (CD single)
Common Sense Media says
The operative word in this song's title is "sex."

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that while this song lacks graphic language, the message is all about sex, plain and simple. Parents should be especially attuned to the video, which includes Ciara dancing on a strip-club stage and lots of full-body contact between her and Timberlake.
What's the story?
The third time's the charm for R&B singer Ciara, who's finally hit pay dirt with the chart-climbing single LOVE SEX MAGIC off her forthcoming third album, Fantasy Ride. Of course, it doesn't hurt having Justin Timberlake, who collaborates with Ciara on the single, along for the ride. The song's title says a lot about its content: the two singers engage in a repartee about sex using a magic-show analogy ("All night show with just you in the crowd
/ Doin' tricks you never seen"). The video shows some super steamy moments between the two.
Is it any good?
As a singer, Ciara's no Beyonce, which makes the track lack some of the fire that comes from a particularly strong voice. The best parts of the song are Timberlake's solos, demonstrating once again his gift for transforming a moderately appealing beat into a hit song by lending his electric vocals.
While the lyrics themselves steer clear of foul language, there's no debate about the song's subject matter.

I love the song but not real appropriate
Great song. Catchy beat. All kids please have your parents approve the song before you put it on your iPod and start telling all your friends about it. It is not the best song for our age (10 - 14). It is inappropriate but great song.

Cool song but not very appropiate
This is of course a song called "love Sex magic".The good role model part is in a part in the lyrics they say "Lets slow it down so we fall in love" at least their not like jumping into it just for fun rather than love.The lyrics are a little risque but most of them are what we call "references".

Not appropriate for kids
this song is far from appropriate for kids any under 17. its full of sexual lyrics and get waaay to steamy for kids to listen to. you might think it will go over there heads but it doesn't. You wouldn't want this song to get stuck into their heads and to be singing this one. Skip this cd

Definitely NOT for Tweens/Young Teens
Love Sex Magic is chock full of breathy, steamy lyrics. The music video flashes between scenes of gyrating scantily clad dancers and a suggestively dancing couple. Not very well done. Not for kids.

Seriously?
i really dont see the problem with sexual lyrics and stuff like that because as soon as kids know about this stuff the better because when theres a teen mentioning it he'll be like "What?" and he'll be very emparessed! Thats why i let my kids listen to anything, play anything and read anything!
