• Nononline from LondonThe songwriters acknowledge it's about masturbation (and also love), but it's interesting to see so many fans of it who have to pretend it's not. Bear in mind that the same songwriter also wrote "Like A Virgin". I guess that's not about sexuality either!
• Dave from California THIS SONG IS TO GOD would explain all confusion.
• Paul from Melbourne, Australia Great song, great band, great singer and performer. Such a loss, she was a one of a kind. Laughable to think of them as 1 hit wonders, were huge drawcards in Australia for a long time. Mark tried to reform with a new singer 2 years ago but didn't happen.One of Australia's finest bands ever.
• AnonymousWasn't there some thought that she was trying to come closer to god
• Paul from Southern Pines, NcIt is 'Divinyls'Their best song 'Boys In Town', released in September 1981.They hit New York and Connecticut in 1982., with mimimal press. Played a bunch of small clubs (750 or so) for $1500 per Gig, before riding 'Boys In Town' to the next level.I saw them at Candlewood Lake (Connecticut). Kicked out some good 1960's Rock Songs as part of their Song-Set, includinga few Tommy James and Shondells songs.
• Paul from Southern Pines, NcChrissy was a 'Raw and Harder' version of Pat Benatar -I saw them perform in Harford, Connecticut at a small club (750 or so). Good group, who even performed a Hard-Rock Version of several Air Supply songs.Chrissy had an awesome 'raspy voice'.
• Michelle from Adelaide, AustraliaI took them less seriously after this. It seemed like a stunt. They were actually a good band, I loved their song 'Victoria'. Chrissie still performs despite now having MS. She became quite a bad alcoholic but reformed.
• Brian from Boston, MaI think I touch myself means that She pleasures herself sexually.Also known as Masturbation.This is just a theory
• Martin from Randers, DenmarkRandy Jackson, the judge in American Idol, played bass on this song.
• Eugene from Minneapolis, MnOne hit wonder usually means that they have either had one Top 40 "pop hit" or one song that they are most remembered for. This song "I Touch Myself" fits the description, unfortunately. Hey, one hit is better than no hit!
• Nooz from Newton Falls, OhDivinyls was NOT a one-hit wonder in the U.S. They hit the American charts in 1985 with "Pleasure and Pain," which reached #76 on the Hot 100 and #12 on the Top Rock Tracks chart. Get your facts straight before you post!
• Logan from Troy, MtThis song was referenced on Robot Chicken. A man goes to Heaven, and is given a book where any questions he asks gives him an answer about his life.One of his golden questions: "How many times did I listen to the Divinals' song 'I Touch Myself'?"The books response: "106"His Response: "Huh, I thought I heard it a lot more."
• Susan from Toronto, CanadaThe best description I've read for why these lyrics are so great is that the song "is both naughty and nice."
• Sam from Jo'burg, South AfricaThis is a fabulous song and one I listen to all the time!
• Jenny from Garland, Txthis song is reffered to in the freshmen by the verve pipe. if you listen to the son, you can understand why i can naver listen to this song again.
• Ben from Gosford, AustraliaI remember the first time I heard this song was in 1990 when I was 5 years old. I was in the car with Mum and I thought the song was about someone who felt realy good about themselves and was giving themselves a pat on the back. Then when I was 14 I heard this song and went "Ohhh!"
• Tony from Detroit, MiThis song isn't about masturbating guys. She meant touch myself emotionally, not physically....
• Bayden from Alice Springs, AustraliaI Love this song and liked it more after watching Austin Powers Dancing to it to it
• Dominick from New York, NyTo Natalie:> Eight albums of new material in a 20 year career does not a one hit wonder make.
