Yahoo Music conducted a poll asking people what song they like to play while getting freaky. The Sun reported the story, which comes with a one sentence explanation from a music psychologist:
One function of music is to seduce.
But the doctor’s name is Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. C’mon. Premuzic?! How are we supposed to believe that? Anyway, here’s the list:
01. Marvin Gaye – “Sexual Healing”
02. U2 – “With Or Without You”
03. Barry White – “My First My Last My Everything”
04. Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin – “Je T’aime”
05. Chris Isaac – “Wicked Game”
06. Al Green – “Let’s Stay Together”
07. Phyllis Nelson – “Move Closer”
08. INXS – “I Need You Tonight”
09. Madonna – “Justify My Love”
10. Kylie Minogue – “Slow”
11. Justin Timberlake -”Sexyback”
12. Massive Attack – “Teardrop”
13. Portishead – “Glorybox
14. Jimi Hendrix – “Foxy Lady”
15. Goldfrapp – “Number 1″
Marvin Gaye topping a list of sex songs? Okay. But “With Or Without You”? That’s some melodramatic fucking! And oh we gotta hear what indie nation screws to. Sigur Rós? The Knife? Animal Collective? Be honest, you kinky freaks.

ryan adams. alllll night looooong.
How about 50 Foot Wave’s Dog Days or Animal? They’ve got propulsion, they’ve go angst, and they’re sung like she’s gargling, well, nevermind.
Eliot Smith. Nothing sets the mood better than suicidal thoughts.
kiss me x3 from the cure.
and uh…the murder city devils.
if it’s one of THOSE sort of nights.
Saint Etienne’s first record, Foxbase Alpha.
Though, it’s sometimes hard to hear over my sobbing.
Radiohead of course. Hell, I even masturbate to Kid A.
(NUDGENUDGESARCASM)
I like Air. I will tell you what is NOT okay. Talking pop-up ads that go off for no apparent reason in the middle of the night. “Hello, you are eligible to win a new computer” is the ultimate mood killer
I’ve done some Ryan Adams, uh, effing. Zero 7′s Simple Things is pretty damn great, too. I guess I like that melodramatic stuff, but not U2. My ex was REALLY into doing it to Keane.
I think it is taken into consideration that NIN is a given.
Morphine is by far the best, that baritone sax gets the ladies going any time. I also am a big fan of jazz, especially jazz fusion…
Duh, Isis – Panoptican.
Massive Attack’s “Protection” is pretty much the best fcuksnog ever I think
What about Sade’s ” By Your Side”…..mmmmmmm…..

Wilco definitely gets the ladies in the mood.
portishead, of course. ‘Dummy’ is golden.
Whatever it is, i try to make sure its not something i like too much….i used to play the first interpol record (which i loved) with my girlfriend at the time…and now its completely ruined for me
“Switched on Burt Bacharach”, best ever.
Interpol. Dark and moody.
Cat Power and/or Low.
I like to match my “rhythm” to that of the Hypermagic Mountain LP by Lightning Bolt.
Prince. Do Me Baby. Nuff Said
T Rex. That’s the only band I’d even consider listening to while Banging a Gong. You should never try to soundtrack that kind of stuff with any serious thought to it. At least T Rex has the class to be sexy with a sense of humor to it.
If someone brought me home and put Marvin Gaye on, I’d be out the door so quick. And I LOVE Marvin Gaye.
Once I was under the covers with company, and just put on whatever record I had left on the turntable earlier. It turned out to be This Mortal Coil. Had I not jumped up and pulled the plug as quickly as I did, I’d probably be impotent to this day.

my ex-girlfriend’s go to fucking record was always violator by depeche mode.
what i hate is when you pick something and a few songs in start thinking, “shit, this was a bad choice.” you don’t want to look like a douche and stop, but the music nerd in you won’t be able to concentrate for the rest of event until you do.
haven’t you guys heard? indie don’t get laid (god, i hope ajax doesn’t get all dave sitek on my ass for doing this):

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (no pun intended)
basically that list minus u2 and hendrix (who fucks to hendrix?!)
Some chill electronic like Air, Thievery Corporation, or Bebel Gilberto is nice.
If you’re really drunk, play some Dick Dale & the Del-Tones!
Tenacious D’s FUCK HER GENTLY.
Classic.
To laugh at.
Arto Lindsay’s _Salt_
“Put Her in the Buck” by 2 Live Crew.
The Faint
Indie kids try to have sex to Belle & Sebastian, but just end up cuddling instead.
mates of state? postal service?
i’ve always been a big fan of Prince’s PUSSY CONTROL…..
i’m just sayin’….
If you need music to augment your lovin’, you’re not doing it right.
Teardrop by Massive Attack, but all of Mezzanine in general, and Playboy by Hot Chip
Teardrop by Massive Attack, but all of Mezzanine in general, and Playboy by Hot Chip
i just put “I ain’t tha 1″ on. and on repeat, if necessary.
Anything by Mark Kozelek…especially the AC/DC covers album What’s Next to the Moon.
Sigur Ros is the ILL panty dropper!
Beach House – Beach House
especially ‘Master of None’
LOVAGE.
Duh.
And sometimes Out Hud or Spektrum… or I think I could second the Goldfrapp.
Sneaker Pimps – 6 Underground
Mew – Special
apparently i once said in the heat of the moment that boom bip was great to fuck to.
the hokey pokey
especially like to shake it all about
Also, “Me and My Gun” by Tori Amos.
Yeah, 6 Underground is a good one, in fact, the whole the album Becoming X.
Eleni Mandell may not be well known, but her song Dangerous… daaaamn!
Calling someone “So disgusting” never sounded so sex-eh.
duh, Spiritualized!
I do believe you solicited for “kinky freaks.” If so, you should know that nothing from Indie Nation has worked as well in a BDSM dungeon as “Ágætis Byrjun” by Sigur Rós. Sensory depravation and impact play go so well with those crazy Icelanders. The buildup of Olsen Olsen leads nicely into a chillout/aftercare track with coda. And there are about three different songs perfect for waxplay. Ah, memories.
Broadcast and AIR, and um… have any of you hipsters nailed a sorrority chick? Dave Matthews?
JON. SPENCER. BLUES. EXPLOSION.
also, I met Perry Farrell over the summer and all I could think of to say to him was,
“Dude, do you know how many times I’ve done it to Summertime Rolls?”
He was all “Awesome.”
Then yeah, portishead (so college) and of course, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.
Moments in Love by The Art of Noise…it’s a classic, no question that the drawls will be falling off as soon as it’s on
“if things were perfect” by moby.
postal service.
amos lee.
david gray.
the smiths, buzzcocks, crimpshrine, jawbreaker. the delgados if business is lugubrious yet triumphant.
i’m surprised no one has mentioned explosions in the sky yet. the earth is not a cold dead place is a beautiful record to get down to.
funny, i just made a playlist in anticipation of a date tomorrow night. a few examples:
Air – Ce Matin-La
Goldfrapp – UK Girls (Physical)
Handsome Boy Modeling School (w/ Cat Power) – I’ve Been Thinking
Daft Punk – Make Love
anything by Serge Gainsbourg
Lindstrom & Prins Tomas – Boney M Down
Mum – Green Grass of Tunnel
The Knife – NY Hotel
and of course – LCD Soundsystem’s Great Release
D’Angelo – Voodoo – the entire album is perfect – especially “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” – That CD plus a little Thievery Corporation equals sexy time gold.
Death From Above 1979
Pixies
Devendra Banhart
Think About Life
Wu-Tang Clan
New Pornographers (obviously)
Portishead’s ‘Dummy’, Massive Attack’s ‘Mezzanine’, Sigur Ros, some of the more low-key Mark Lanegan or Greg Dulli (esp. ‘Circus is Leaving Town’ off ‘Ballad of the Broken Seas’), and Ani DiFranco’s ‘Pulse’– generally Ani is not DOIN’ IT music, but I guarantee ‘Pulse’ will get you laid. Miles Davis, Getz/Gilberto, Coltrane are easy fallbacks.
goblin king, i once tried to match my rhythm to “hypermagic mountain” by lightning bolt and my dick fell off. luckily, i was so pumped up from the music, i was able to entertain my mate with some air drumming with my dick.
personally, I like Yo La Tengo’s And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out … but I’d like to address something funky that’s happened to me. I’m a lady, and I like to get down to music, and sometimes I meet boys who do, too.
Not once, but TWICE, I have been with boys who decided to set the mood with George Michael’s “Freedom ’99.” That specific song. One of them picked it out of a whole bookshelf full of other, much better CDs to fuck to. I’m so puzzled by this … heterosexual/questioning men, can you answer why this song is so popular!? I don’t get it.
p.s. both of these dudes turned out to be complete fucktards.

Serge Gainsbourg’s L’histoire du Melody Nelson, as well as Air’s Moon Safari, are pretty much designed to get down to.
Ratatat’s new record has worked in the past as well.
Peter Gabriel “Passion: Music from The Last Temptation of Christ” soundtrack works quite nicely.

The Junior Boys’ “Last Exit” and the Brazilian Girls’ self-titled album. You can’t go wrong.
I prefer beatboxing str8 into the gash.
Banco de Gaia.
(Or if you want to reminisce about the 90s, Enigma.)
i guess nobody but me thinks wants to have sex to bjork, huh?
my only requirement is that what i play during not have a lot of lyrics that i can get caught up in. that time that i started following along with phrenology was a bit embarrassing.
Dead Kennedys “Too Drunk to Fuck”. Duh.
Dead Kennedys “Too Drunk to Fuck”.
“Teardrop?” Really?
illllbc thstg ths hhhhhh tsr httd htr
i would fuck to the knife, but i’d probably be too aware that i was fucking to the knife to have any fun. i’d rather listen to them and think about sex. personally, you can’t go wrong with tv on the radio.
Mazzy Star – Among My Swan
R. Kelly
Snow Patrol does it to “Illinoise”.
I suspect this reflects badly all around.
Good call on the Mazzy Star. Also, I’ve found that w/certain women, Blonde on Blonde worked well. Then there was that one time in college when this chick and I got busy to the “Live Dead” version of Dark Star.
I met a chick from missouri a few years ago who put on Ray LaMontage. Good shit. Then the next time it was Clockwork Orange. Not so good. So I put on Ray. Also Smashing Pumpkins’ Adore is key and the soundtrack to Amelie .. Premier Symptomes by Air is good too. Ryan adams, huh? yeah i totally want to get it on to “Drunk Santa” or his other raps haha. Here here to TV on the Radio
nick cave, cat power, CAETANO VELOSO!!!, devendra banhart, gold soundz, bjork, wilco, SEA CHANGES!!, leonard cohen…….
I’ve always found Raw Power a super hot record to get it on to. Iggy’s voice alone is enough to bring on multiple orgasms.
