Ten Metal Songs That Are Secretly About Masturbating

Seven years ago, we made a list of the ten best metal songs about masturbation. Then we forgot that we did that, and during this morning’s editorial meeting, we decided we should make a list of… the ten best metal songs about masturbation. Then an intern reminded us we’d already done that, and we were sad. But then we realized that our previous list contained only the most obvious entries, and there are actually quite a few songs that may not seem to be about masturbating, but most definitely are about masturbating.

Then we rubbed one out and made this list.

Anthrax, “Invisible”

Sample lyric: “My simmering blood is rising/ Primed and ready to explode.”

Guns N’ Roses, “Think About You”

Sample lyric: “I think about you, you know you’re the one I want.”

Sample lyric: “I close my eyes to see you.”

Mastodon, “The Motherload”
