The Best Songs To Have Sex To

This feature was originally published on June 17, 2017.

To quote the extremely musically accomplished singer/songwriter Robert Kelly, “I don’t see nothin’ wrong with a little bump ‘n grind.” In the two decades since its release, we still wholly appreciate the lyrical sentiment despite the fact that Kelly has become increasingly problematic. Nonetheless, whether you’re into the vanilla, regular degular intercourse, or doin’ it as if the world is ending (which, like, it might be) and it’s the last time you’re going to get off level sex, a lot of factors go into setting the mood right.

There’s obviously the existing chemistry you feel between you and your partner(s) that is somewhat out of your control, but everything else can be influenced. Timing and circumstances are major. Is it your significant other? Are you in love? Is it someone you’re doing it with for the first time? Or maybe the last time? Are you about to lose your virginity?! (If so, good luck out there. Don’t get your heart broken, kid.)

Beyond timing there’s the location. You doin’ this in a bed? At a hotel? In the car? At your parents’ house? Are you about to join the mile high club? (People don’t really do this, do they?)

All of these circumstances are ultimately your problem, but we can help with something, and it’s very, very important: the music you listen to. Your sex playlist is absolutely vital. Not only does it set the #mood, it can change the entire vibe regardless of all of the aforementioned factors. So, with this highly scientific list of the best songs to have sex to, we are here to make sure whoever it is you are giving it to is going to text their friends all of the splash drops emojis about you afterwards. After all, that's what we all want, isn't it? Here are the best songs to have sex to.

Foreplay. It’s important. Don’t skip it.

Arguably the best song on Views and easily the best to listen to naked. Don’t be shy about letting this play two or ten times back to back.

What you won’t do, someone else will.

I mean… He’s talking about filming sex in this song, and it’s Miguel. If you don’t get it, apologize to your partner(s).

Anytime, anywhere, 24 hours a day, 365 a year, every minute, every second, just all the time.

*Licks lips*

This track in particular is specifically for the baddest bitches.

Your body is telling you yes, so listen to it.

Let me be clear: This is for that name-screaming, sweating, barely-make-it-in-the-house, no-you’re-never-going-to-find-that-missing-sock-you-ripped-off kind of sex.

“So, meet me at 11:30. Love it when you’re talkin’ dirty.”

You gonna put this shit on or nah?

For anyone who prefers to be on top, this is the one for you.

This song opens PND’s P3 album with the lyric, “She calls me daddy." It’s seven minutes long, and if it were the soundtrack to any activity other than sex, that might be too long. You’ll appreciate it.

You could have sex to The Dream’s entire catalogue and probably most the songs he’s written for other artists, but if we have to choose one, this is it.

This one is naughty since it’s about cheating, but if you're not into that, every song The Weeknd did before Kissland is about sex, drugs, partying, and sex. Did we mention sex?

This is probably most suitable for rough sex. That’s all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before Migos’ "Bad and Boujee," this was the only drop top mention that mattered.

Honestly, why wait until tomorrow?
