A LOT of sexual awakenings below.

We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which music videos brought on their sexual awakenings and why. Here are some of the memories they shared:

1. "Buttons" by the Pussycat Dolls

Interscope Records

"I hadn't even realized I liked girls yet, but I watched that video so many times not really understanding why I was so into it."

—monikap6

2. "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilera

RCA Records

"I would throw a blanket over the family desktop in the living room and watch Christina Aguilera’s 'Dirrty' music video on a loop. Definitely was not as inconspicuous as I thought and definitely got in trouble."

3. "This Love" by Maroon 5

Concord Records

"Adam Levine was SO hot in that video with all the strategic flower petals. My gay heart* exploded. (*pants)"

5. "Toxic" by Britney Spears

Jive Records

"The music video for 'Toxic' by Britney Spears is literally what made me realize that I'm into girls. I first watched it when I was 11, but didn't put the pieces together until I was 13 (lol oops)."

—liacchi

6. "When Doves Cry" by Prince

Warner Bros. Records

"First, you get the scene with him in the bathtub, which makes you feel an odd kind of way. Then, those few moments where he is crawling across the bathroom floor...Uh, yeah, you're suddenly not at all certain what it is that you're feeling for the first time. But it's certainly new and interesting."
