If you’re looking for a cure for virginity, look no further than Trey Songz’s fifth studio album, “Chapter V.” Heavy on sex and soft on subtlety, the album is the perfect manifestation of the crooner’s love for all things under the sheets. Themes of love, ladies and luxury are scattered throughout the LP, but eroticism lingers ­- even in the more rap-heavy tracks. Classic R&B beats grind with listeners’ eardrums as the music transitions from bumping in the bedroom to making love in the club. As a whole, the album strongly resembles a mature version of the singer’s junior effort “Ready,” especially apparent in one of album’s dirtier tunes, “Panty Wetter.” Songz definitely knows that sex sells, and if this is Chapter V, I can only expect Chapter VI to be a full-length sex tape.
