“Let’s Talk About Sex” was the fourth single from SNP’s 1990 album Black’s Magic. It was also the album’s highest-charting song in the US, reaching #13 in November 1991 – surpassing their previous highest-charter “Push It” (which had hit #19 three years earlier).

The song was known for its frank discussion about the positive aspects of sex and things to consider before indulging. In Tricia Rose’s Hip Hop Wars she explains that a song like “Let’s Talk About Sex” proves that “explicit is not always exploitative”.

In 1992, ABC newscaster Peter Jennings hosted the special Living in the Age of AIDS and asked SNP to revise the lyrics of the song for it, so they created a modified version of the track named “Let’s Talk About AIDS,” and focused on the topic of practicing safe sex. This new version was released as its own single, then included on certain releases of SNP’s next album Very Necessary and as a b-side on two of its singles.
