When you're looking to set the mood without the fire hazard of candles or the clutter of rose petals, few things are more effective than a well-curated sex playlist. Regardless of your relationship to music, the emotional and psychological impact that sexy songs can have on your libido shouldn't be underestimated. Even for those people who don't consider themselves all that rhythmic, the best sex music can get you out of your head and into your body (especially the sexual pleasure that's overtaking it). Whatever type of sex is in your future — whether it's infused with kink or BDSM, or it's sweet and vanilla — queueing up some of the best sex songs from this list can help keep you in the moment longer and maybe even unleash a side of you that you didn't previously know existed.
Plenty of people have trouble finding a "rhythm" during sex, and can sometimes feel shy, clumsy, or unfocused without some background accompaniment. Music — especially a sex playlist compiled of songs at various tempos and with various themes, and songs that make you feel confident — can help. For something dynamic and animalistic, try some Chappell Roan or Billie Eilish. For slow, intimate sex, try a sensual ballad from someone like Omar Apollo or Marvin Gaye.
Whatever pace or vibe you're going for, we've put together a list of the best sex songs to add to your sex playlist. All that's left now is to press play.
