On 06/13/02, the original 1993 demo for Tired Of Sex was placed into the media section of the official website but promptly removed for an unknown reason. A thread began on the Rivers Correspondence Board where Rivers (under the alias of 'ace') spoke about several different aspects about the creation and the vocal of the song. | |||
"i edited it in '93. i actually phsically cut the cassette tape and scotched it back together. (i think i had accidentally played the drum fill 2 beats too long)." (In reply to how did you know where to cut the tape and the authenticity of the girls mentioned) "i guessed. i just hacked out a piece. gwen wouldn't let me use her name on the album. "lyn" was a poor substitue her parents would have figured it out, seeing as how they knew i was dating her. it wouldn't have been good." (And in response to a question asking what Rivers played on the demo) "i played everything on the home demos which were usually recorded the same day i wrote the songs." | |||

Although originally written as a self reflective song, "Tired of Sex" was one of several songs reworked into [[Songs from the Black Hole]] as the project began to take form. It is most likely that "Tired of Sex" created the entire basis of SFTBH. Being the very first song Rivers wrote for both albums, and because the Black Hole was not yet formed, Tired of Sex would have been the first song inserted into the equation presumably after Blast Off! Accordingly, Tired of Sex would have set the story. | |||
" | Once Jonas pulls away from Maria, he realizes that his lifestyle is unfulfilled - he seeks true love, not sex. "Tired of Sex" is the lone SFTBH song that has survived and appeared on all incarnations of Weezer's second album, including Pinkerton. There are several demos of the song available spanning the entire 1994-96 period; the lyrics remain the same in every rendition, save for one name change. The song was originally "I'm Tired of Having Sex". | ||
