So Cafe Society is the Sex Forum, now? Whut th’ hell, works for me.
The Jefferson Airplane, Mahler, Blind Willie McTell, any polka band, and the Stones. Take my word for it.
I was thinking along these lines too… Because at some point, even a song like the Rolling Stones’ Start Me Up or Madonna’s Erotica (otherwise good tempo-setters) has to end, and in the best case you get jolted by the transition (in the worst case, of course, you find that the action has already ended before the song has :eek: ).
So really the best soundtrack is either completely backgroundable, or as you suggest, usable as a stand-in for a man “thinking about baseball”.
How 'bout some Alvin and the Chipmunks, or The Curly Shuffle?
Of course he’d have to wear earbuds or something to prevent his partner from dissolving in laughter.
1812 Overture seems appropriate at times…Oh, you mean music to increase the mood rather than reflect it…sorry! http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=7958668#

Not that I would know first-hand, but if I were in the position to have me some sex, I think most anything by Goldfrapp (Supernature and Black Cherry, in particular) would do. Especially the tracks “Ride A White Horse”, “Twist”, and “Strict Machine”.
As for transition problems, if you have an ipod speaker I think you can blend the tracks so they have like a 5 second overlap.
Lovage has an album called Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By. I think once a track came on while in the act (probably pit stop), and it fit the situation fairly well.
Appropriate music for sex would be something with notes in it. Or maybe rythm. Both would be ideal. But it’s definitely got to involve sound in some form.
Although, come to think of it, one of those experimental “45 minutes of silence” pieces (who does those? Glass? Copeland?) wouldn’t be a bad choice either.

For me it’d be an effort not to call along in cadence, like in the Carlton beer commercial: “My fin-ger’s in your ass. My fin-ger’s in your ass. My fin-ger’s in — your — aa-ass”
I suppose ragtime would be out?
Depends on the song.
And the gender of the partner.
I dont suppose this counts as appropriate but an ex of mine told me that while she was having an impromptu morning bonkwith her then husband the William Tell Overture came on t.v. in the background and after a few minutes they had both subconsciously accelerated the action up to the pace of the music .
When they became aware of what they were doing they both burst into laughter and that was the end of a passionate moment.
Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.“
Hands down.
The Black Keys. They blatantly rip off Hendrix, but that isn’t exactly a bad thing.
For Og’s sake, whatever you’re listening to, don’t let itunes keep playing down the alphabetical list when you’ve got such gems as “Who let the dogs out?” in your collection. :smack: That was… quite a memorable incident.
Coulda been worse. Coulda been the 1812 Overture! Here come the cannons!
Just put a towel down first.
