Clannad’s Last of the Mohican’s “I will find you” Loreena McKennit (and less so Enya) have some nice ones too… Madredeus - Portuguese Music. Brazilian MPB (or new brazilian “Jazz”) has some great stuff. Caetano Veloso in special. ---

**Stir It Up** by Bob Marley **Crazy Love** by Van Morrison **Fields of Gold** by Eva Cassidy **Angel** by Shaggy (strangely effective, must be the beat) ---

Slave to Love by Brian Ferry (well the whole Boys and Girls CD) Well almost anything by Roxy Music, especially Avalon. Mazzy Star and Sarah McL are good choices as well. ---

I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned Sade! Her album _Lovers Rock_ is pretty much just that. It’s like massage oil on CD. I’ve had some seriously good times when that album’s on. 😃 For a specific track recommendation, try **King of Sorrow** or **By Your Side.** Seriously sexy. A recent make-out fave of mine is John Mayer’s **"Your Body Is A Wonderland."** ---

Kee-rist…I’m surrounded by heathens. It’s an acknowledged fact that “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Percy Sledge is the best face-sucking and/or bellyrubbin’ music that ever been wrote. ---

**I Belong To You** by Lenny Kravitz **6 Underground** by Sneaker Pimps, if you can ignore the words (easily done). **Schooled in the Trade** by People Under the Stairs (no words, just groove). **No Ordinary Love** by Sade might help you turn it into more than just makin’ out…😉 ---

“Protection” by Massive Attack is potent. I dare you to _not_ make out while playing this song. Also, I’ll second the votes for Sarah McLachlan and Roxy Music. ---

“True” by Spandau Ballet If you like classic rock, I’ve read that Bob Seger’s album “Night Moves” is ideal for making love to. ---
