Inspired by [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=534078) thread, wherein several dopers mentioned what songs were playing when they first did the big nasty, I was wondering how common it was for music to accompany that tender deflowering, and if the music had set the tone for the act. In my case, it was Led Zeppelin II. My girlfriend at the time owned only two LPs: The Doors’ L.A. Woman and Led Zeppelin II. LZ II is a pretty carnal album: Whole Lotta Love, The Lemon Song, Living Loving Maid (She’s Just a Woman), Moby Dick :eek: but so is L.A. Woman (Mr. Mojo rising, indeed!). So we were in the rec room, all green pool table felt and stereo pumping, primed for hot monkey sex, and her parents were upstairs in their usual alcoholic stupors… What transpired was not hot monkey sex, of course, but it was the start of something big. Got anything to share? ---

There was no music at the time, but after I dropped her off home at 3:30 AM, I turned on the radio and heard Rare Earth’s entire 22-minute cover of [Get Ready](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTv66ezZlws). That’s the song I now associate with the evening. ---

And for the purposes of this survey, I leave it to each poster to decide what “losing ones virginity” means. And if you have not yet lost your virginity, but look forward to doing so some day, what music do imagine will be playing? ---

No music, but The Crow had been on TV that night, and now I fecking hate that film, and anything to do with it. (consensual, but utterly meaningless with a sleazy guy, and I wish I hadn’t now) ---

Considering my first girlfriend, it was probably Depeche Mode or Marilyn Manson. However, the first time I recall having music playing while we did anything, it was [this video](http://youtu.be/2dy7Cg36qfY) for “Scrape” by Unsane. Ahh, the romance of youth. ---

We were walking back to the dorm from a Taj Mahal nightclub gig and did the nasty at the side of the Psychology building. No radio with us, but she did keep singing “Good Girls Don’t” by the Knack. ---

“Miracles”, Jefferson Starship, playing on my girlfriend’s stereo in her dorm room. I never could understand why anyone calls it “the nasty.” ---

**Babylon by Bus** , a Bob Marley live album. That relationship wasn’t perfect, but based on things I’ve read in this and similar threads I’m pleased with the experience and my memories of it. ---

Pink Floyd, _The Wall_. I considered that great sex music for a long time afterward. ---
