When it comes to sex, everyone has their preferences. Some people like it to be quiet so they can hear every groan and sigh. Others prefer to have a soundtrack to get busy both to help set the mood, and also to cover up any unfortunate by-product sounds of sex (although, while we’re on the subject, a little queef there’s nothing to do with it to be ashamed.
Whatever your mood, our list will ignite your quarantine and bring some steam into your life. For a full effect, we recommend that you enjoy some erotic poems or maybe some porn to get in touch with your desires. Whatever way you like your foreplay, try playing these sexy songs in the background to set the mood.
If you think you’re the only one looking for songs to dedicate yourself to, you certainly aren’t. In fact, according to the latest available research data, sex songs are being searched for nearly 10,000 per month. This is because people love to indulge in the sounds and rhythms of music, whatever the genre. Relationship expert Tracey Cox explained why in an interview with Soggiorno, saying that music affects sex in a myriad of ways.

Sensual songs for your playlist
What distinguishes good sex from bad sex; well, everything else. It’s the context: where you are and how you feel, the lighting and the smell, whether you do it against the wall or in a cozy king-size bed. A particular aspect of sex that is underappreciated? As with the movies, when it comes to sex, the soundtrack can make all the difference. Putting on music while you are using it can mask the sound from people nearby, bloat or relax, and give you a tempo to move your body to.
Good music can turn ordinary sex into an extraordinary and memorable experience, but not all music is perfect. Regardless of what you typically listen to, some music is simply better suited to do the deed – whether it’s the lyrics, the instruments, or some ineffable sexy quality of the song.
CARDI B FEAT. STALLION MEGAN THEE – ‘WAP’
Two of the rap industry’s most coveted women are teaming up for this overtly explicit and semi-controversial track that emerged amid the pandemic. While the track has been criticized for its explicit nature, most simply found Cardi B and Meg’s sloppy song to be a top of the 2020 charts (even Gwyneth Paltrow said it was one of her likes when she feels bad). As to why is this a good song for having sex? Well, that should be pretty obvious. Ladies love to do it as much as guys, and here’s a song that encourages them to take control and use their feminine tricks to their advantage.
LIL NAS X – ‘MONTERO (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME)
Lil Nas X, born Montero Lamar Hill, was released publicly on the last day of Pride Month in 2019. Less than two years later, pushing back the layers of homophobia often seen in hip hop culture, the award-winning artist released “Montero”, a song that he says “will open doors for many other queer people.” In the accompanying clip, Nas X is pole dancing through hell, growling at Satan himself, being as fabulous as he gets. As for the song? It’s a certified bop, from start to finish.
THE XX – INTRO
The pale British indie trio don’t really cry hot to most people, but listening to Intro, the first track from xx’s debut album, will make you a changed man. It’s lush, calming, dreamy. It’s like falling back on the perfect couch (if the couch was in fact a hypnotic trance). There are longer mixes of this song, and no, you wouldn’t be wrong to look for them because, like sex, 130 seconds is just not long enough.
THE WEEKND – HIGH FOR THAT
It seems like no one has released more sex music in the past decade than The Weeknd, but if you don’t know about his previous work, you’re missing out. Before it became a household name, the man born Abel Tesfaye was coming out of dark and sultry R’n’B sex bangers like High for This. There’s something unmistakably hot about his BDSM Tint, kinky sex vibe, drug-fueled orgy music, and High for This stands out in that regard.
FRANK OCEAN – PYRAMIDS
Most of the songs on this list are between three and five minutes long, but in comparison, Pyramids is a tantric masterpiece. Think 10 minutes of non-stop shine, to be more exact. The lyrics are decidedly more strip club than Ancient Egypt, but in Ocean’s hands, the song is no less epic for her. And that keyboard riff? Pure sex.
BEYONCÉ – SHEET MUSIC
For one of America’s most famous people, Beyoncé has been incredibly open about her sex life on Partition, a song about having car sex with her husband in a limo on the way to the club. The song’s sexy vibes don’t start and end with its striking straightforwardness, as the tense minimalist beat transforms into a booming bass thrum, and the chorus’s pleas whisper in your ears. Oh, and there’s also a French voiceover on female pleasure.
DRAKE – PASSION FRUIT
Drake has been on the sexy jam circuit for years now, but maybe none of his songs fit the mold better than Passionfruit, whose beat feels like someone dipping a preloaded iPhone ringtone into a vat of honey. Fade has some of the vibe of the beat from Passionfruit – pitch shifted down – and lots of house music energy. If you can handle Post Malone and Kanye auto-tuning, that’s a lot of fun.
MARVIN GAYE – LET’S GO
This list wouldn’t exist without the man who basically put sex songs on the map. Lots of sexy songs are burst long and short in passion, but with Let’s Get It On, Marvin Gaye showed everyone how to do a good sex song. You can feel the painful feeling of longing in his voice as he urges his potential partner to love after trying to hold back those feelings for so long.
Purists will scream, but the beauty of Marvin’s voice is that it sounds great in just about any setting. If straight Marvin is feeling a little too slow and dusty for you, this Kygo boppy remix might hit the spot.
CHILDISH GAMBINO – REDBONE
Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, hit a home run with the soulful and alluring Redbone, a song that seems to have traveled back in time since Marvin Gaye’s era like a jam like no other. Of course, given the lyrical content of the chorus, white people shouldn’t be singing, but who the hell sings on a sex playlist during sex? Looking for similar vibrations with a slower tempo? This sweet Angelo jam is what you’re looking for – it’s like a lazy morning fuck with your spouse on a day off.
GINUWINE – PONY
This song is basically sex. Even if you haven’t seen Channing Tatum give it all to his undeniable dirt in Magic Mike or Magic Mike XXL, a few seconds of listening to his absurdly catchy, mechanical bullfrog-croak beat will deliver the message. The lyrics are sexy, but they almost don’t matter with a song that feels so much like sex. Put it on and drive slowly, low and dirty. You will not regret it.
That’s right – the same trail, again. In the field of sexual songs, this one has no equal, no alternative, no rival. Put it on all sex playlists, ever.
ARIANA GRANDE FT. NICKI MINAJ – SIDE BY SIDE
In a genre dominated for decades by horny male musicians, Ariana’s anthem may not be the sexiest in terms of sound, but it works its way through sheer daring – the lyrics show just how point it is difficult to walk after being badly beaten, its new beautiful. And Nicki’s line, where she talks about fucking like a bicycle, doesn’t hurt either. Looking for another female sex song, but a little more laid back and sultry? Lizzo has juice to squeeze. Please note: this trail will get stuck in your head.
THE NOTORIOUS BIG – BIG POPPA
With Biggie’s buttery soft voice, a dictionary recitation would sound sexy. So it’s no surprise that his hymn tribute to a slightly perverted relationship would come off in a devastating and raunchy way. It doesn’t hurt that it’s backed up by such a sensual beat that it would be a come-on as an instrumental.
FLEETWOOD MAC – THE CHANNEL
Like any good sexcapade, The Chain is a slow build masterpiece to an ecstatic and overwhelming ending. Each verse eventually leads back to the beginning, much like & hellip; border? It’s a choice that won’t work for everyone, but if your tastes are more guitar-based than R’n’B, the highlight of this song is on its own. When the bass comes in at 3:05 am, well, try not to end prematurely.
More songs for your sextape
If you think you’re the only one looking for songs, you definitely aren’t. In fact, according to the latest available research data, sex songs are searched for nearly 10,000 per month. This is because people love to immerse themselves in the sounds and rhythms of music, regardless of the genre. Music affects sex in so many ways. Our brains are inundated with dopamine, the pleasure hormone, when we listen to music. Almost half of those surveyed said rhythm was the main reason music made them feel good better sex.
