"'''Sexual Guarantee'''" is a song performed by [[Sweden|Swedish]] band [[Alcazar (band)|Alcazar]], from their debut studio album ''[[Casino (Alcazar album)|Casino]]'' (2000). It samples [[Chic (band)|Chic]]'s 1979 hit "My Forbidden Lover". The song got many good reviews, but failed to make much of an impact in the Charts across Europe. While a favorite of radio stations, it was a far cry from the success of their previous single.

The single was released in Europe, but in different formats and sleeves. For instance England once again made their own sleeves and used their own Alcazar logo.
