Sex with an X is the second long-play studio album by the Scottish alternative rock band The Vaselines. Released in September of 2010 on Sub Pop, Sex with an X was the Vaselines’ first new album since the release of Dum-Dum over 20 years earlier.
The first single from the album, "I Hate The 80s" was released on 10 June 2010. The titular second single, "Sex with an X", saw release on 24 August 2010 with the B-side; "Roaster", followed by a third single, "Mouth To Mouth", on Valentine's Day, 2011.
Five days prior to Sex with an X’s official release, The Guardian streamed the entire album on its Music Blog. The album was released with a track by track guide written by The Vaselines.
The record’s final track, "Exit the Vaselines", is a reference to the compilation album, Enter the Vaselines.
