I'm looking for sexy, over the top songs about sexual awakening, kind of like Touch-A Touch-A Touch me from Rocky Horror. Looking for recommendations for similar songs.
Faith No More, "Be Aggressive".

Divinyls "I Touch Myself" is definitely a classic for this.
Also, Macy Gray - B.O.B. (note: dancing vibrators in video).

Well, not over-the-top by today's standards (geesh, kids these days!), but man the intent is all there—especially when she sings
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we've grown
And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man

Rough Trade's High School Confidential
"...the song's narrator is a student observing a sexy female classmate, a "cool blonde scheming bitch" whose activities suggest that she may be having sexual relations with adult men, including the high school principal. The narrator...reveals her own unrequited lust for her: in one of the most famous lyrics from the song, Pope sings "She makes me cream my jeans when she comes my way". The lyrics never explicitly state the narrator's own sex, so they may be read either as Pope speaking from a male perspective, or as a reference to lesbianism."
Video. I was only 5 when it came out, but I still remember the shock it caused in some circles. Some teachers wouldn't play it at middle school dances even though it was still popular. (Still often heard on Canadian FM radio.)
More fabulous dated Canadian smut: Nick Gilder's Hot Child in the City. (Also, "Roxy Roller" -- "Peaches and cream delight. Roxy Roller. Five-bob job. She gets bubblegum on her knees, Down between the seats.")
Bob Seger's Night Moves kinda sounds like generic Seger/70s country-tinged classic rock, but it's really pretty filthy, teenagers figuring out how to ball in "the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods," "we were gettin' our share," "and oh the wonder, we felt the lightning, and we waited on the thunder."

Dunno about awakenings, but Zydrate Anatomy is definitely over the top sexy. Take what you want from these, I guess: Placebo, Nancy Boy, The Pretty Reckless, Goin' Down, Tiffany, I Think We're Alone Now.
I can't help thinking there's a whole bunch of Aerosmith songs that fit the bill, but I'm drawing a blank. Maybe just stick a pin in their discography.

Strange how the night moves

Melissa Etheridge "Unusual Kiss" My take is that it's about a threesome, if you pay attention to the lyrics at the end.
