"Tired of Sex" is the lead song from 1996's Pinkerton. It is one of the most abrasive songs in Weezer's catalog. The song is known for its distorted guitars and being one of the few songs in which Rivers Cuomo screams. In this song, Rivers Cuomo rants about meaningless groupie sex encounters. Reciting his list of conquests, and wondering why true love eludes him.

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.
