I was making a joke about sex, and used the phrase (70s porn music starts), which then got me thinking…has anyone actually ever had sex to that music, or is it just so eponymous with porn that no one can take it seriously Details not required but are appreciated ---

Ravel’s Bolero is reputed to be just the mood music you’re looking for. (You can find many recordings and performances of it on YouTube.) ---

Just when the porn is playing in the background. ---

Bolero is certainly a stereotype due to the movie _10_ – but it isn’t good music for the purpose. Bolero is a very rhythmic, repetitive piece, but it has an absolutely steady tempo. You want something that starts slow, and speeds up as it goes along. ---

Bolero is over 15 minutes. Let’s get serious. ---

> [@Doyle](#): > > Bolero is over 15 minutes. Let’s get serious. Yeah! What am I, a machine? Let’s start with, say, a Ramones song, and try to work from there. There was some vintage porn movie… seems like one of the more famous ones. _Debbie Does Dallas_, maybe? Where the background music is the same as the intro to _The People’s Court_. I’m not sure even Viagra could get me through that. ---

Is the “stereotypical porn music” an entire genre of music, or did they just keep replaying [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVCy1k3XEeo) in all the porn studios? ---

My GF and I put on **Pornosonic** ’s _Unreleased 70s Porno Music_ once, but the constant dialogue snippets with Ron Jeremy were always some combination of weird, creepy and hilarious so we HAD to listen to them and frankly it was kind of a drag on the action, if you get my meaning, so eventually we just turned it off and fucked _sans_ accompaniment. ---

Back in the day, when I was having sex in certain places, the porn music was already playing. ---
