The only music I can remember having sex to was my Veruca Salt CD many years ago. Terrible music to have sex to. Don’t do it to them. I’d also avoid Prince’s “Batdance”. Very unsexy. ---

**Radiohead** : **Kid A** and **Amnesiac** Possibly some **Depeche Mode** if you are into that. ---

I agree with **Radiohead: Kid A**. Also, [hijack] it’s good that you’re thinking ahead like this. At one point I foolishly left my music on “random” while fooling around. We was doing OK until the Nirvana song _Rape me_ came on. Bad Idea.[/hijack] ---

I had one of the most enjoyable and fun shags of my life started by George Harrisons “Got my mind set on you” that beat just works 😉 We basically trashed the room quite like the scene from “The Tall Guy” ---

A cult classic for lovemaking is “Moments in Love” by Art of Noise. Also, I am not one to habitually listen to Kenny G, but his music did provide just the romantic atmosphere needed to make a date I had with my girlfriend (now wife) a night I will always remember. ---

LIVING WITH THE LAW, by Chris Whitley. The whole album is full of laidback sensual blues-rock. By contrast, if you want raunchy, furniture destroying sex, go with PRETTY HATE MACHINE by Nine Inch Nails. But avoid Frank Zappa: “Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?” is not what you want to hear during intimate moments. (As I show my age…) ---

Yeah, anything by Massive Attack. The obvious choice: Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye. ---
