Inspired by a thread in Cafe Society. In this house, it has been "Fallin’’ by Alicia Keys. What’s your go-to song? ---

I’m very much “obvious girl”. I like **raw** , out there, very obvious sexual music, the heavier metal-y, the better (no not death metal, original metal). NIN “Closer” just for example. (I’m not your average grandma :D). ---

I don’t use music for such sordid purposes (drops monocle), but I remember when I was playing the Bee Gee’s album Still Waters for a friend, he described it as being “all fuck music”. ---

NIN “Closer” just for example. (I’m not your average grandma :D). I, ahem, knew a girl, who loved to fuck to Closer. So there are at least 2 of you. eta: I actually prefer music that I don’t particularly give a crap about - like current hits or whatever. ---

I haven’t done it to music since high school, but Phil Collins’ \*One More Night \*maintains a special, sweaty, steamy-windowed place in my heart. ---
