I think the title is self explanatory, but I think some categorization is in order. Suggest a song or CD that’s great to have sex to, but specify _what kind_ of sex, such as “Wild monkey sex” or “Love making”. Some Examples: John Mayer - Body is Wonderland: Love Making Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing: Love Making Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love: Wild Monkey Sex Limp Bizkit - Break stuff: Love making Just kidding…“Body is wonderland” is terrible to make love to. 😛 ---

_Passion_, Peter Gabirel’s soundtrack to _Last Temptation of Christ_. I like to say that Peter Gabriel called it “Passion” because he couldn’t call it “Play This While You’re Fucking”! ---

[Yummy Yummy by the Wiggles](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/411334/102-9116621-7257758) OK not really. In the immortal words of my college roommate: If you can’t get laid to Moondance, you can’t get laid. ---

Marvin Gaye- let’s get it on, for that kind of tongue-in-cheek but also serious sort of sex. Richard Strauss- Thus spoke Zarathustra, for extremely pompous and silly sex. I doubt it could be done without giggling. Rossini’s William Tell Overture- For extremely fast sex. Probably best for missionary or woman on top. Leonard Cohen’s I’m Your Man- for slow and somewhat sad sex. Maybe it’s better for foreplay or seduction. ---

How about the Mexican Hat Dance? And if you’r gonna do the Wllia Tell Overture, use the hyped-up synthesizer version Walter/Wendy Carlos recorde for **A Clockwork Orange**. Sex will be over in less than 15 seconds! ---

[snarky] So - You guys have time to pick background music? Lighting candles too, no doubt? [/snarky] Beatles - Come Together. However, I haven’t had mood music since I left my teens, some 20-odd years ago. ---
