The song "Sex Towel" by Hovey Benjamin describes the use of a towel during sexual encounters as a means of cleanliness and convenience. The lyrics suggest that after using the towel for sexual activity, it becomes designated as a "sex towel" rather than a regular bath towel. The song humorously highlights the practicality of using a specific towel for sexual purposes and the importance of cleanliness in intimate situations. The singer mentions how the towel can become messy due to bodily fluids during sex, emphasizing the need to have a designated towel for clean-up. However, as the lyrics progress, the singer expresses some hesitation toward using the same towel repeatedly for this purpose. They find it somewhat "gross" and acknowledge that while sex can be messy, it can also be beautiful. They jokingly suggest that it is acceptable to use the towel for sexual activities if it is being used by a married couple trying to conceive a child. Overall, the song "Sex Towel" playfully explores the practical and potentially gross aspects of sexual encounters, while also recognizing the potential beauty and intimacy within them.
