Everyone needs a sex playlist (or two). There aren’t many things that feel as good as making love to your favorite songs, so if you haven’t curated a sex music playlist, get on it!
A 2011 study published in Nature Neuroscience found that music can awaken the same pleasure-seeking parts of the brain that are stimulated when you have sex. That’s fascinating, isn’t it? Listening to music while having sex can definitely take pleasure to a whole new level.
So, let’s talk about how to curate a perfect sex playlist for you and your partner. We even have 69 sexy song recommendations to help you get started.
How To Create a Sex Playlist: 69 Sex Songs To Add
How To Curate Your Personal Sex Playlist
Creating a sex playlist can be a very fun activity to do with your partner. You might take as long as you want, slowly adding songs to a shared playlist, or making it into an activity for one of your date nights. Here are a few tips to help you create the best sex playlist:
Brainstorm First
Unless your partner gave you the task of creating a sex playlist for both of you, and they trust your judgment 100%, chances are that you both will have a different vision for a sex playlist. So, first, you might want to create a shared playlist where you both can add songs you each love.
Don’t think too hard about it, simply make a list of songs that are sexy, that make you feel empowered, and that give you chills. Once you both are happy with the list of the songs you brainstormed, it’s time for the next step – structuring the playlist!
Give Your Playlist Some Structure
To make an impactful and meaningful sex playlist, consider structuring it and keeping it at a certain length. Between an hour and an hour and a half is the best as it’s not too long, and not too short. And when it comes to adding songs, consider where each song should go.
You might want to start with lusty, seductive songs at the very start, to build the tension and the mood. Then, in the middle, you might want to add songs that have a bit more energy. End the playlist with some sensual, chill sex songs that would help you and your partner unwind during aftercare.
Don’t Stop With One Playlist
It’s a good idea to have a few different playlists with sex music you enjoy for different occasions. Having multiple shorter playlists with different themes will serve you better than having one that’s filled with random songs you love.
So, you can create one playlist that’s more sensual, and lyrical for times when you want to have a slow sex session with your partner or pamper each other with erotic messages. Another playlist might be filled with your favorite R&B jams for when you want something playful and fun.
You can create as many sex playlists that set different moods as you desire. There will never be too many!
