The lyrics of U-KISS's song Step By Step seem to be assertive and aggressive, describing domination and control over someone else. The repeated phrase "I'm gonna step on you, boy" implies physical violence, and the imagery throughout the rest of the song supports this interpretation. The vocalist demands that the listener "get on the floor," as if to suggest submission, and declares that they want to take everything the listener adores. They describe the experience as "better than sex," indicating that it is highly pleasurable for them. The final lines of the song suggest that the subject of the song has wronged the vocalist in some way, and that the retaliation they face is deserved.
While the lyrics of Step By Step may be interpreted as violent or threatening, it is important to note that they are likely intended to be taken as metaphorical, rather than literal. The language used in the song is highly figurative, and there are no explicit references to physical harm. That being said, the repeated use of violent language may be unsettling for some listeners, and it is worth considering the impact that music can have on our emotions and behaviors.

@Siekky I gotchu bro.
Man, a lot has happened since then, so it will be a very long story, here goes...
So the day finally came for me to see her again and take her out on our 3rd date and I was hoping to get lucky at the end of the date. Bare in mind that I’m a virgin who’s only had his first kiss a week ago.
So anyway we go on the date and things go well again. We go back to her place around 11 at night. Something I didn’t share in my update of my comment is that on the night we shared our first kiss together, she had asked me to spend the night at her place but I couldn’t for reasons I won’t get into now. But on this particular night I told her that I would spend the night and she was happy about it. At this point, I’m getting really excited because that whole week I was anticipating to get laid and I would finally lose my V-card at the age of 25 😂
So we chilled for maybe 20 mins and then we got into bed because we were quite tired by then, remember it was around 11 at night. A little while after we got in bed, I began to initiate a kiss and things things got heated from there. We started taking our clothes off and then finally I got up to put on protection. I had practised all week how to put it on, so I was a pro by now.
Right as we were about to do it, she stopped me and asked “are you sure we should do this?” I wanted to do it but I could tell that she wasn’t too keen to go through with it, so I just replied by saying “I’m not sure, you?” and she said “I’m also not sure” so I told her that we should just stop. She was in a long term relationship a few months ago, so she was still trying to deal with that and we also hadn’t developed a good enough trust.
So long story short… I didn’t get laid that day like I had hoped, but we still met up a few more times after that and went on a few more dates. We would tease each other and get into s*xual conversations whenever we spoke on the phone and I had even slept over at her place a few other times but I didn’t try to initiate s*x, we would just kiss and cuddle throughout the night.
Things changed after maybe the 4th or 5th time I slept over at her place. We were kissing in bed and things got heated again, to the point where I asked her if we should “do it” and she responded to me by saying yes… We could have done the deed right then but I chose not to go for it because I just wasn’t sure if she was saying yes to make me happy or if she really wanted to.
So then the next day (on a Sunday) I had to go home, but before I left, we kissed and ended up getting carried away again and we began to take our clothes off… and, well… we got in bed, I grabbed the protection and put it on and we started having intercourse. About a minute into it, maybe less, I felt my erection slowly going away… and I just didn’t know what to do, I tried to ignore it and carry on but eventually I just stopped and she asked me if I was okay, I then told her what was happening. She then said “we can stop if you want to stop”, so we put our clothes back on and we sat on the edge of the bed quietly. At this point I could tell that she was unhappy, we didn’t say anything to each other after that and I left her place and went home.
When I got home, I called her immediately, and I could tell from her tone and the short answers she was giving me that she wasn’t okay after that situation. So I asked her if she would like to talk about what had happened and she told me that she was devastated. She basically felt like I wasn’t attracted to her enough to find her sexually attractive and that made her feel insecure because she felt like something was wrong with her. She then told me that we should never do that again and that we should just stay friends. I tried to plead with her that I was very much s*xually attracted to her, but she just told me that if I was then I wouldn’t have lost my erection. We had a long conversation, and it even got to the point where she started to even question my s*xuality and wondered if I was perhaps gay because she said this wasn’t supposed to happen to someone my age. I was hurt because I really liked her, but the last thing I wanted to do was to come clean to her about being a virgin. But looking back now, that would have been the best thing I could have done then.
The conversation ended with me telling her that I’d rather we completely forget about each other because I wouldn’t be able to only be her friend. Later that night she sent me a text saying that she was feeling sad, I called her and tried to fix things… We really liked each other by now and we didn’t even realise it until then. There are other things that I left out that had strengthened our bond that I won’t get into. But after that call things got a little better…
I guess you could say I had lost my V-Card at that point but tbh, I still felt like a virgin. Sure, I stroked a few times but I didn’t even go longer than a minute nor did I ejeculate.
The week following that day, I began to experience an erectile dysfunction, I had no s*x drive at all. I wasn’t getting any erections nor did I have an urge to have intercourse. My sex drive before was always through the roof, I would get boners for no reason, but after that day my sex drive was not quite what it used to be. It’s like something in my brain was switched off. I felt lost lost and frustrated.
The next week, she invited me over to her place for dinner, we tried to do it again but the same thing happened. And again, she was disappointed and was trying to understand what was wrong because in her experience, men my age never really struggle with erections. She thought something was wrong with herself and I tried to explain to her that nothing was wrong with her. But I felt too ashamed to tell her that the problem stemmed from me being a virgin, but my pride wouldn’t let me tell her the truth.
We then tried to do it again about 3 more times on different days and the same thing kept happening, at this point I was feeling like s*x was ruining things between us. I would sometimes try to avoid having intercourse with her to avoid the aftermath of not being able to maintain an erection.
About 2 or 3 months back when I went over to her place. We got into it again. On that night, I guess I was a little less nervous, so my erection stayed strong throughout the process and eventually I ejeculated from s*x for the first time, this to me is when I can say I truly lost my virginity, and didn’t feel like a virgin anymore. We had s*x again the next day and I managed to c*m again. I think I was struggling to cum because I had never had real s*x before and my only s*xual experience was fapping to p*rn. So when it came down to me having to engage in real s*x, it was hard for my brain to adjust to it because it was something different.
Since then our bond has been growing strong and she officially became my girlfriend about a month ago. we’ve been having amazing s*x and I’ve been learning a lot about myself i.e. how to last longer so that she can also c*m. We also use a vibrator which she absolutely loves.
My advise to the virgins out there is that, be honest with your partner about being a virgin because lying about it will only bring bring problems like it did with me. If you’re honest about it and she accepts you, then she’ll be more understanding about your situation if you experience any issues and you can keep trying until you’ve get it right.
