The most hash-tagged (#) tweet on Twitter is #BestSongtoHaveSexto. You love it. This is probably because a sex soundtrack makes most encounters WAY BETTER. Trust us, it will. Case and point: you wouldn’t find scary/sex/tragic scenes in films half as forceful if it weren’t for the soundtrack. This is no different.

Don’t feel bound to moving in time with the music because this will become rather disconcerting for both parties. Unless you last no longer than 5 minutes (: / ), you’re going to end up with a pretty jarring experience every time the song changes.

Let’s also rule out Marvin’s Gay classics like Let’s Get It On or Sexual Healing etc. Here are some alternatives that won’t necessarily scream, ‘I’M HOPING WE’LL HAVE SEX TONIGHT’ as soon as you press play.

1) For when you know it’s going to happen… Time to get seductive (with this playing in the background). Use these 6 minutes to catch glimpses of each other across a room full of people: you know that smile says, ‘tonight’s the night’. Never underestimate anticipation – the more worked up you are, the better it will inevitably be.

2) You ain’t messing around… You both know you want it so press play and get some.

3) I’ve only just met you but… what you need, I’m about to give you. Let The Weeknd set the mood – he knows what he’s talking about. This song is pure sex.

What You Need, The Morning

 

4) Feel the rhythm – You ooze cool, calm, collected and ready to go… Not all sex songs are good for their rhythm, but this one definitely is.

5) Heaven is a place on earth… your pants… You’ve been waiting for this precise moment for what feels like an eternity. Days, weeks, months of doubt, hesitation and pining have brought you here – finally. Quiet, smooth, romantic: no words, no thumping bass, nothing to distract you from the touch of your lover.

Nova, Burial and Four Tet
