I am on a hunt to find gender anomalies in society, and one of the assignments is to find a song within the last decade (preferably an American hit!) that portays a man as the sex object. The artist can be either group or solo, male or female. The raunchier and more blatant the lyrics are, the better. I'm not looking for subtlty (but that can work too ). Thank you guys so much for your continued help!

"It's raining men" is one that springs to mind, although it may not be exactly what you are looking for.

The Donnas are an all girl rock band who has a lot of sexual songs that would fit your criteria. "Take It Off" was a hit that got radio play in the US about four years ago, but almost all of their songs would work. Some other good ones are: "40 Boys in 40 Nights", "Too Bad About Your Girl," and "Take Me to the Back Seat"

Edit: Soundly spanked by Lizbeth. That'll teach me to type faster.
The Donnas are a great band for that - they take AC/DC-style '70s hard rock and turn the macho attitude on its head. "Take It Off" is probably the best example.
Sample lyrics:
quote: 'Cause I get what I want and I like what I see Take it off (echo) Take it off! Take it off baby, for me
and...
quote:Forget the application... You're the right guy for the task Let me take you on vacation Just do it, you don't have to ask!

Joan Jett and Madonna would probably be good sources, too.

These may be older than a decade, but there's "I'm too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, "Push It" by Salt n Pepa, and "Pony" by Ginuwine. "Pony" has a great chorus: If you're horny, let's do it Ride it, my pony My saddle's waitin' Come and jump on it
"Michael" by Franz Ferdinand has a man as a sex object. It's on their first album but I don't know if it was a hit.
If I were you I'd check out Li'l Kim, Missy Elliott, and Madonna.

More than a decade ago, but Salt 'N Pepa's "Shoop"
quote:Ummm, you're packed and you're stacked 'specially in the back Brother, wanna thank your mother for a butt like that (thanks, Mom) Can I get some fries with that shake-shake boobie? If looks could kill you would be an uzi You're a shotgun - bang! What's up with that thang? I wanna know how does it hang? Straight up, wait up, hold up, Mr. Lover Like Prince said you're a sexy mutha-
Also not from the last decade, but the Kinks' "Lola" has Lola as the object of desire-- a gender-ambiguous-probably-man.

"Ain't No Other Man" by Christine Aguilera. Actually - she's probably got a few more on her albums.

I may be missing something, but Ginuwine is an apparently straight guy, singing to women. There's nothing strange about guys singing about their prowess.

He's not just singing about his prowess, though. He's objectifying himself. It's not like Prince's "Lemme show u baby I'm a talented boy," or Nate Dogg's "You can come on over, and I'll break you off."

What's that song about hanging out the side of your best friend's ride, tryin' to holla at me?
-------------------- I think that hyperbole is the single greatest factor contributing to the decline of society. - My friend Pat.
Possibly "Six Underground" by the Sneaker Pimps (that would probably fall into the "subtle" category, I think).
They might fall just outside the decade requirement, though.

I'm still not seeing it. The rest of the lyrics are about checking out a hottie in a club, the chorus is simply what he wants her to do.
Sitting here flossing Peeping your steelo Just once if I have the chance The things I will do to you You and your body Every single portion Send chills up and down you spine Juices flowing down your thigh

I know somebody said Joan Jett, so here it is.
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock 'n' Roll
I saw him dancing there by the record machine I knew he must have been about seventeen The beat was going strong Playing my favorite song An' I could tell it wouldn't be long Till he was with me...

No ambiguity about it.
Well I'm not the world's most masculine guy But I know what I am and what I am is a man And so is Lola

Nope. The second line is: I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man.

Certainly any Lil Kim song would qualify, the most famous being "How many licks?" Don't ask me how I know this.

My man gives real loving that's why I call him Killer He's not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, he's a thriller He takes his time and does everything right Knocks me out with one shot for the rest of the night He's a real smooth brother, never in a rush And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch Spends quality time with his kids when he can Secure in his manhood cuz he's a real man A lover and a fighter and he'll knock a knucker out Don't take him for a sucker cuz that's not what he's about Every time I need him, he always got my back Never disrespectful cuz his mama taught him that

I once did a seminar presentation on Tricky´s Suffocated Love as an illustration for the Family Decline theory. Not a single word about love. Lovely. It´s not exactly a radio hit, but it fits the theory really well.

Edit: d`oh. Just re-read your post. It´s great for Family Decline, probably not so great for what you´re doing. But my best wishes, anyway.

"Lick my neck, lick my back, lick my pussy and my crack."
Also, Peaches and Princess Superstar.
Pretty much anything by Lords of Acid, Jack Off Jill, The Genitorturers (the lead singer is a female bodybuilder / dominatrix), some songs by Ruby, and some of Liz Phair's (she sang a song to a guy telling him she wanted to be his "blowjob queen") earlier songs.
