> [@Marley23](#): > > …am I the only one who never plans sex enough to have CDs ready? It’s not about planning, its about being prepared. Having the CD’s in the location where you are most likely to have sex. We have a stereo in our bedroom with a collection of CD’s. It’s also good to have the music on so the kids aren’t banging on the door asking questions, ie…" Mom, are you hurt?" ---

The album **Sex** by _The Necks_. A wonderful gentle 60+ minutes of lovin’ music. ---

Welcome to the boards **BigDude876** –What a wonderful coincidence that you resurrected this thread today because I was reminded of it when listening to the Rolling Stones’ **Midnight Rambler** on the radio this morning. The fast parts aren’t quite conducive to love-making , but, when they slow it down , there are parts I just can’t help thrusting my pelvis to , rhythmically. ---

> [@electric!sheep](#): > > Kraftwerk. Hell yeah! I would also recommend anything by Devo, Jimi Hendrix, Primus, Igor Stravinsky, Edgard Varese, or Frank Zappa (well, at least his instrumental pieces, unless lyrics like “I’m gonna ram it up your poop chute” turn you on). ---

The Minute Waltz. OK, I’m kidding. As far as you know. “Heaven is Ten Zillion Lights” by Stevie Wonder. “Nothing Compares 2 U”, Sinead O’Connor. “Brand New Cadillac”, the Clash. “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”, Roberta Flack. Regards, Shodan ---

Morcheeba, Morcheeba, Morcheeba. Especially _Big Calm_. And though I haven’t had the opportunity to test this theory, I imagine the Broken Social Scene’s _You Forgot it in People_ would be a good choice. ---

Cassandra Wilson is always good, as is _This is Hardcore_ by Pulp. And depending on what you’re doing, “Glory” by Liz Phair can be quite apt. ---

If the two of you like country-and-western music, there’s always the timeless classic **“Let’s Get Drunk and Screw”**. ---

Morphine is great for sex, particularly the song “Hanging on a Curtain.” The saxophone is so naughty it makes you feel like you’re doing in in the filthy back room of some seedy dive bar. If you’re into that sort of thing… ---

I guess it all depends on the mood. All Mine - Portishead. (I can’t hear it and not think of sex…Slow, with a loud, perfectly paced beat for that slow but powerful session) Hurt - Nine Inch Nails (Takes the right kind of people, otherwise it’s a mood killer… But damn, it’s fun) Jesus Built My Hotrod. - Ministry (Fast. Raw. Again, takes the proper people but come on… Ding-a-ding-dang-your-dang-a-long-ling-long) Foxy Lady - Jimi Hendrix (Perfect theme, great beat) Caress Me Down - Sublime (“Mucho gusto, me llamo Bradley, I’m hornier than Ron Jeremy” is the first two lines of the song, I think that says enough) Fucking an Animal - GWAR (You need a sense of humour for this… To say the least) That’s about all I can think of right now. ---

We had very good luck with _Howlin’ Wolf: His Best_ the other day. 🆒 ---

They can sound raunchy and dirty one moment and smooth and sensual the next, but always sexy. Mark Sandman was taken from us way too soon. > [@St\_Ides](#): > > All Mine - Portishead. (I can’t hear it and not think of sex…Slow, with a loud, perfectly paced beat for that slow but powerful session) Can’t go wrong with Portishead either. Beth Gibbons’ voice smolders perfectly over the music. I might go out on a limb and call them the best band to have sex to! ---

If either of you can tell what the music is, you’re not having great sex. ---
