Every sex-having adult needs a good sex playlist, full stop, period. It’s an easy, fun, and free (well, minus the cost of your Spotify or Apple Music subscription, obvi) way to turn good sex into great sex. And TBH, it’s also an easy way to improve your sex life if you and your partner are a little out-of-sync. So unless you actively prefer quiet, passionate, stare-deep-into-my-soul sex (which, to be fair, can also be great), there really are no cons to at least just having a sex playlist on-hand. And besides, doing it to sexy songs can be just as intimate as doing it in silence. Don’t believe us? Do it to The Weeknd and circle back with your thoughts. Go ahead, we’ll wait!
But in all seriousness, the great thing about making a sex playlist is that it’s your sex playlist, so you can put whatever you want on it. Whether you prefer sultry vibes like “Thinkin Bout You” by Frank Ocean, or something more upbeat like “Unholy” by Sam Smith featuring Kim Petras, you can curate the vibes to whatever kind of sex you want to have.
There’s also no rule that says you can only have one sex playlist. You can make one for slow, intimate sessions, one that’s more upbeat for kinkier romps, one for quickies, one for threesomes, one for masturbation—you get the picture. (Ahem, the beats can also give your partner a bit of a guide to how you like it, in case they need a little non-verbal instruction.) Not to mention, music during sex can also give you a hot soundtrack to fill the silence if you find quiet sex a lil awk, or if you have roommates you’d rather spare the sound effects of your orgasm. It’s a win-win-win-win!
Now, without further ado, the 60 hottest sexy songs to bang to. Pick and choose what to add to your own playlist and have some fun—your orgasms deserve this.
