A playlist featuring the best songs to have sex to, Ummm… nope.

When you are about to have sex, trust me, nothing kills your mood faster than the wrong song coming up on your Apple Music or Spotify.

Sex and music complement each other, but on one condition. You have to play the right songs. 

Playing heavy metal or some sad tunes will likely not get you in the mood. It can be really weird when you are having sex, and the artist is singing about a parent’s death. If that doesn’t kill your vibe, I don’t know what does. That’s why R&B is usually a go-to choice for people who want to get it on.

Playing the right songs to have sex to can improve your sexual experience, set your skin on fire and connect your mind with your partner’s. Whether you are out for a romantic time in bed or your intentions are purely carnal, you’ll find a bit of magic here for any intimate moment. So check out our list of best songs to have sex to!
