I posted a sexmix last year, in August, but I’m constantly revising my playlists. This is the current sexmix tracklist.
This is not, however, the music I put on for a day of sex – I’d rather have a few albums on shuffle. The current favorites are Me’Shell N’degeOcello’s Bitter, as much Morphine as I have on my hard drive (especially the albums Like Swimming, Yes, and Good), and Chris Isaak’s album Heart Shaped World.
Here’s the sexmix:
- Come – Kinnie Starr
- All Your Way – Morphine
- Sexual Animals – Sarah Fimm
- Right Now & Right Here – Keren Ann
- Sweet The Sting – Tori Amos
- Wrong To Love You – Chris Isaak
- Slow Like Honey – Fiona Apple
- Beautiful – Meshell Ndegeocello
- Volcano – Damien Rice
- You Look Like Rain – Morphine
- Alright – Kinnie Starr
- Grace – Jeff Buckley
- Tear You Apart – She Wants Revenge
- Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums – A Perfect Circle
- Forty Six & 2 – Tool
- Sexyback – JT
- In Tha Mood – Esthero
- Satisfy – Meshell Ndegeocello
- Swing It Low – Morphine
So, lay it on me: what would you add? What’s your favorite music to fuck to? What’s the best seduction music? What tracks just need to be on this list?

muse says:
p.s. the one that needs to be on your list is: Seven Nation Army, because it sounds like a fucken badass topping song to me.
Jessie says:
My sex list is a mix of Massive Attack, Zero 7, Loveage, and a couple tracks off U2's Pop, which in my opinion is thoroughly under-appreciated.
aimee says:
@ muse…
We should probably fuck.
That is all.
Madrisa says:
Melissa Ferrick's "Drive"

muse says:
I can not believe I forgot:
Blue Monday – New Order
E-Pro – Beck
@ aimee – I guess I'm not the only one who likes to fuck to a good indie rock baseline, eh? no doubt it's a very good measure of compatibility. (^_^)
saintchick says:
O' wait..
What about Joan Jett.. Do Ya Wanna Touch Me ? Such a cockteaser song.. I love it..
hussyred says:
totally agree with the suggestions of dyer maker, lovage, esthero (particularly "in tha mood," sinclair! good pick!), and absolutely any massive attack. also:
* and you belong – scream club
* come on closer – jem (this song is the hotness – seriously)
* come around – m.i.a (not really about sex, but a hot beat)
* swimming pool – freezepop
* i've been thinking – cat power & handsome boy modeling school (any song that starts off with the lyrics 'be my boy…be my boy…' is a winner in my book)
* i want you – common
* don't look back – telepopmusik
* breathing light – nitin sawhney
* mono – life in mono (old and from the great expectations soundtrack …errr… still good sexin' music)
yay for all the good suggestions! my appropriately named "from makin' out to makin' it" playlist is growing by the second :)
aisforalisha says:
oh! and 'what would happen if we kissed' by meredith brooks
Essin' Em says:
@ Muse and Aimee; threesome?
Honestly, I am less about specific songs…I've just found some groups that work for me. Smashing Pumpkins, the Killers, the Back Row, the Cure, etc.
Mmm. Sex. I need to get me some of that.
dosia says:
@ Essin': mmm, smashing pumpkins. My gf has been known to call this type of music 'straight boy crap' but some of it's good…
i also love depeche mode's 'playing the angel' …
ps: i <3 <3 <3 delilah by the dresden dolls — live they are amazing!
aimee says:
@ muse –
baselines and hooks. Hotdamn. : )
@ Essin’Em –
I just whacked The Cure on about 20 seconds ago and decided they’d make my list for sure, should I ever get around to writing one. Which I probably won’t. Distractions. Anyway, good call.
Jessie says:
Oh hell, how did I forget Depeche Mode – I Feel You?
victor/victoria says:
i would have to add:
northern state – iluvitwhenya
outkast – speakerboxx/the love below (the whole double album)
the beatles – tomorrow never knows
kelly clarkson – behind these hazel eyes (really!)

There’s only one sexy song and beat she will dance to when I’m deep into her…

Has an awesome beat, it’s riding time, pounding time… on my back, she’s COWGIRL bouncing up & down, arms in the air side to side. Mmmm… Luv ya Babe!!!
