Liz, I guess music-induced orgasm or sexual frenzy didn't start with punk rock. Way back when a young Harry Belafonte came on the scene, it was generally acknowledged (at least in the southern U.S.) that it was common for young girls to "become women" on the spot when exposed to his appearance and performance. I never asked exactly how "beome women" was defined in the context. In this case, I'm sure that the "christian" outrage that spawned the idiocy was more about the popularity of a very handsome black male than about the music.
