| oh littlehugs....i'm sorry you're "grossed out" and "still scarred". Why dont you join us here in 2006, and stop being so prejudiced. For what its worth, I once had a crush on Corin, but people are entitled to be with whoever they choose. If you stop listening to these girls' stuff because they happened to choose each other..........i pity you. | |

| I just think this song is about a relationship (I'm picking my words very carefully, have you noticed? :P) between two people, either of either gender... and it's really sweet. I think it's kind of reassurring the other person that they are your number one (Don't worry - you got it) Awww I love it. Wish it belonged to me, lol | |

| so basically you think you are special because you put your penis where a woman pees... i dont mean to gross people out but seriously, you arent superior because you chose the front and not the back. this song is still stuck in my head. | |

| it's pretty much about a crush! Although, in the bridge Carrie and Corin have an exchange "It's all in my pocket" "i call it, my rocket" It's an allusion to a vibrator called "the pocket rocket" lolzzz...masturbation humor. | |

| And replying to some comments about this being about masturbation, I don't think so. At least, not the whole song is about that....the ending part, yeah maybe...but all in all, I believe this is just a good ol fashion love song...don't have a hissy fit because its not about masturbation. You'll get over it. Theres plenty of other songs about that.... | |

| haha this is funny. a homophobe on a sleater-kinney lyrics page. its kind of an oxymoron, dont you think? i dont think of mastrabation being what this song is about. i think its just about love and how this person can change her. "makes me go crazy to sane." | |

| dude littlehugs, learn how to spell and maybe people might take you seriously. And no, someone did not delete your previous comment. And i want you to describe to me why "being gay is weird as fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" give me one competent answer. And i really like this song, it gets caught in your head very easily. | |

| i hope you're joking littlehugs because i think they actually became less lesbian seeing as when they first started, carrie and corin were in a relationship and now corin is married and carrie is dating someone else(?) | |

| this song reminds me of myself a few months ago when I had a crazy crush on this guy. the masturbation theory is very interesting though, never really thought of that. | |

| hmm. whatever happened to the part of the song that goes 'it's all in my pocket. i don't mind... i don't mind...' etc. ? it's not in the lyrics above. i'm a little confused. also, this is an awesome song. and an awesome album. everyone should buy it. immediately. | |

| I never thought it was about masterbation, because majority of the lyrics just seem to be addressed to a person. I think it's just a love song, but I maybe I'm wrong. | |

| lol whoah. now that i see its about masturbation it makes sense. but what about "Nobody lingers like your hands on my heart...No one comes close don't worry you got it!"? how could that tie into masturbation? unless she's just telling her boyfriend "it's okay, i love you, not my vibrator" or something? | |

| Yeah, those lyrics do seem a little messed up. Anyway, I've always thought this song was about masturbation and female sexual liberation -- or something. | |

| Huh? I didn't think of masturbation either. I thought of a relationship. It seems that sleater-Kinney seems to fall real deep into relationships, like in "Burn, Don't Freeze" and others... | |
