Thanks for the posts everyone... but most of them talk about how i need to say more or that what i have said makes no sense. In response to Ashlyn Childs comment, the writer of this song did not just write this song for men. There may only be directions and suggestions for the male counterpart, but each of the decisions effect both the male and female. the song is most likely not for the audience of the younger generation, because of the language and the sexual content. i will get back to you on who i think the audience is because it is a though question to answer. again thank you all for the posts.

Perhaps you need to start with an analysis of the word "fuck" and it's usage in order to access the next level of meaning in these lyrics?
jodiemiller makes a good point ... are you willing to do research into the entomology of FUCK and then some deep thinking/writing on how it's used today -- as well as how it's used by different groups of people?
OR you could start by looking at the title. Is "Fuck Her Gently" a contradiction? I often think of "fucking" as the basest way of describing sexual intercourse (because as a society we have dozens if not hundreds of euphemisms for sex). So if fucking is primal, animalistic, uncaring and hard (in my understanding) what is the writer getting at by singing "fuck her gently" ... is he saying my interpretation of fuck is too narrow? Or is he juxtaposing terms to evoke a reaction in his audience?
Also you might want to consider why he chooses to use different words throughout the song to describe sex such as "hump""screw" "fuck" "ball" "bone"
I think they wrote the song just to be obnoxious and trying to be offensive but in a humorous way.
