Sex in songs - effective, or off-putting?

I just noticed the other day that 3 of my favourite songs:

- Rocket Queen (Guns 'N Roses)
- Home (Dream Theater)
- Suite Sister Mary (Queensryche)

incorporate the sound of people having sex as a sound effect.

In 'Home' and 'Suite Sister Mary', they are used as a tool to portray an aspect of the story (both from concept albums), and in 'Rocket Queen' it just fits the over all sleazy mood of the song.

So
MQ: What's your opinion on the use of sex as a sound effect in songs? Is it effective or inappropriate/off-putting? Or do you think it has no effect?

MQ2: Do you think it is enough to warrant a 'explicit' tag? (regardless of whether you are pro or anti censorship)

BQ: Favourite song that incorporates sex sounds. (no pornographic shenanigans, please)
 
MQ: I think it depends on the song and the sounds, you know? Sometimes it's degrading and makes me wanna stop listening, but other than that it really just depends.

MQ2: No, it's not like you can see it, you know? Just sounds, hahaha.

BQ: I'm not sure if it counts, but the song Situations by Escape The Fate
