Song Analysis: Wet The Bed

I want to discuss a song that was first released in 2011 titled “Wet the Bed” by Chris Brown featuring Ludacris. I personally enjoy the song and think it is a rather catchy tune, however for the first time I find myself analyzing inconsistencies with the song and reality. In the song Chris Brown expresses that he is going to make a woman experience a few things that simply aren’t realistic. The song is centered on female ejaculation and Brown repeatedly emphasizes how he is going to make a woman “rain” on him and that she will be “soakin’ wet”.

Men typically go through a refractory period after an orgasm which can affect their ability to become erect again for a span of time regardless of stimulation. In addition to this many other external factors can affect their ability to become aroused and participate in sexual intercourse such as various drugs and alcohol(Lehmiller,102).
