Love And Sex is an unreleased song recorded on 27 February 1984 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (on the same day as Traffic Jam, three days before When Doves Cry). Engineer Peggy McCreary noted that Prince wanted a DX-7 Yamaha synth for the song (an already-outdated instrument), which she had to buy for use in the song; he used the DX-7 for many later recordings. It is unknown if this song was intended for any project at the time, but during Prince: A Celebration in June 2000, computer screens at Paisley Park Studios offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on Crystal Ball Volume II, and while Love And Sex was chosen by fans, the project was ultimately abandoned.

Prince later reused the title for an otherwise-unrelated 1986 recording; see Love And Sex for details of that track (it is unlikely that this later track was the one selected for Crystal Ball Volume II since it was sung by Sheila E.).
