Music to have sex to

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the following yet:

Anything by Portishead

The Cure’s album “Disintegration”

Roxy Music’s album “Avalon” (with great sexy sax on the title track and throughout)

Lovage’s “Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By” (an entire concept album of trip-hoppy sex music, featuring Mike Patton of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, and Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields)

I hesitate to mention Dave Matthews Band’s album “Crash,” but it works wonders if you’re in college (or even better, if the girl is).

And Massive Attack is good too, in the same vein as Portishead (although I’m not a Massive Attack expert).

A bit of speculation…

Pepe Deluxe - Beat Experience
Pulp - Common People (After Smoking Fags and Playing Pool… ;))
Animotion - Obsession (Steamy 80s Porn Style)
Nine Inch Nails - I Want To Fuck You Like An Animal (Animal Sex)

Joe Sample
Sade
Barry White

Gotta put in a vote for Alice Cooper.

*Tie me up, baby, really tight
In a lovers knot
I’m in the mood for my leather boots
With the leopard spots

Take you down to my side of town
Where I learned to love
Strap you down, honey
Pet you nice with my velvet glove…*
-Trick Bag

Crawlin’, Dirty Dreams, and Welcome to My Nightmare work pretty well too.

And well, I hate to admit I even know ONE of his tunes, but Prince’s “Nikki” is pretty good for this sort of thing.

Heh…we played this in my guitar class a few months ago, and I was very tempted to bust the chops of the teacher (on whom I have an immense crush) by asking him, “So, could you give us a little back-story on the lyrics? I mean, what’s it about?”

That’s “Zion” by Fluke, in case you are interested.

I would also like to throw out Delerium’s Karma and Depeche Mode’s Violator.

Funny, nobody has said “Jump Around” by House of Pain yet.

I am a big fan of getting it on to anything by Def Leppard.

Think “Pour some sugar on me”

Oh yeah.

I have not tried this, but Leftfield - Original. It’s not the lyrics… it just has that rhythm and makes me think of amber lighting and wet hair and warm breath on flesh.

I second Roxy Music’s Avalon.

Also, Joe Satriani’s Strange Beautiful Music.

Stay away from Wham!. That’s all I have to say.

Are you saying that “Wham! Bam! I’m a man!” didn’t get ya moving?

Oooo, I just remembered two more instrumental songs from movie soundtracks that I like to listen to while in the throes of passion: “Love on a Real Train” (Tangerine Dream, Risky Business (which, btw, I actually got to live out that scene a few times)), and the opening theme to Conan the Barbarian (Basil Poledouris). The second one sounds as if something big is about to happen :smiley: and it gets my blood pumping.

Anything by the Grateful Dead

Most Blues and Jazz work for me, too.

Beethoven’s Seventh.

Had a memorable session in front of a fireplace with Orff’s Carmina Burana on. Became “our song”.

Kraftwerk.

Anything by Tori Amos.

I also enjoy getting it on to Say It Ain’t So by Weezer.

Well, my band was in the studio today, and the recording engineer told us that he’s going to have a lot of sex to our CD once it’s finished.

If only…

Unfortunately, all we had was their Make It Big album. After Careless Whisper and Last Christmas we knew it was a bad idea. It’s a good thing that we didn’t start macking once we heard, “Jitterbug…” :wink:

These threads come up a lot, but am I the only one who never plans sex enough to have CDs ready? :stuck_out_tongue:

I love Tori, but I don’t think most of her stuff works here. Her vocal tics are too obtrusive. I’ll take Dire Straits.
