Sound is an important aspect when creating a great sexual space. Just as most of the greatest movies have memorable soundtracks, we often add our own mental soundtrack to significant moments in our lives.
The right background music can help ensure you have the perfect ambience for your bedroom action. Music helps set the mood and can be used to help choreograph the evening’s progression of sexual activities.
You probably already have a favorite repertoire of music you and your partner have used in the past with sexual success. Great! Keep using those songs as much as you like—the precedent will prompt you to mentally connect the wonderful feeling with the music. As soon as you hear the first few notes, your pulse may immediately start racing.
But continue adding to your passion playlist, to keep things new and exciting so you can allow yourself to enjoy some new auditory experiences.
If you and your partner like different types of music, take turns creating a mix of both. Of course, the dominant person may assume the power to control the music most of the time, but perhaps he or she could grant the submissive the opportunity to choose the tunes occasionally as a reward for good behavior.
If you have the ability to record, try creating a whole love-track of music especially for your sex play. Be sure you have enough songs prepared to last for several hours long during an entire erotic evening. You could even create several different tracks, each designed for certain types of activities—say, one for massage, one for the dominant to control his sex slave, and the rest.
A recent trend incorporates classical music into sex. Indeed, the combination of this highbrow, sophisticated type of music with raw, basic, and primitive physical activities can be exciting. Many people find this type of music soothing. Plus, a lot of people find they prefer instrumental music for intimate interludes. Lyrics can be distracting and you don’t want to get caught singing along when you should be focused on more important things. If you are aiming for a peaceful mood, you may even want to look for a CD playing sounds of the ocean or the forest. On the other hand, music with a driving beat can get your blood pumping.
Choosing the right soundtrack can really affect your romantic intensity. Some people like to adjust the music selections depending on the specific sensual activity they have planned. During foreplay, for example, you might select music specifically designed for meditation or yoga, to encourage a leisurely relaxing pace.
Although your musical tastes may vary, here are some sexy suggestions to get you started. (Tip: for inspiration, go to a strip club. Strippers have a knack for picking sexy music, the kind with a throbbing beat to get your blood pumping.)
- “Strut” by Sheena Easton. The name says it all.
- “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC. It is impossible not to strut your stuff with this song blaring.
- “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd. This song will take you into a trance-like state, wherein you will feel like you are in another dimension, diving into the ocean of celestial sensual bliss.
- “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard. Every stripper has this song in her rotation.
- “Talk Dirty to Me” by Poison. It’s just so damn appropriate.
- “Wild Thing” by Tone Loc. No questions what this song is all about and it is almost impossible to sit still when you hear it.
- “I Touch Myself” by the Divinyls. Another very clear message. Play this while talking to your partner on the phone then ask, “Can you guess what I am doing?”
Musical tastes may vary, but few people enjoy getting romantic in total silence. At the very least, you might want to invest in a white noise machine to help block out the racket of the world outside.
