Marvin Gaye's song Sexual Healing was written in 1982 and released in 1983. It was written in response to numerous requests from Gaye's fans for a song about sex, after his previous album, Midnight Love, had been widely regarded as an album about sex. Gaye had originally considered making Sexual Healing a ballad, but his producer, Gordon Banks, encouraged him to make it a more rhythmic song. The song was a commercial success and helped revive Gaye's career, which had been plagued by financial and personal difficulties in the preceding years.
