Can Slow Jams Put You In The Mood More Than Foreplay?

Now, science has provided us with a big tip for better love-making: a sex-oriented music playlist.




Listening to music, from Marvin Gaye to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, can be more sexually arousing than actual foreplay or even sex, according to a study commissioned by Spotify and performed by music psychologist Dr. Daniel Mullensiefen of the University of London.

Sex and music are both reliant on rhythm. It's natural listening to music would heighten our sexual experience.

 Don't doubt this opportunity

The way we make love or our behavior in an intimate setting can reflect the type of music we enjoy and are inspired by.

"People use this music to not only communicate their intentions in a romantic situation but to directly alter the mood during an encounter,” Mullensiefen said in the press release.

Mullensiefen and Spotify’s "Science Behind the Song" study sought to explore the relationship between music, romance, seduction, and what songs can be the soundtrack to your sex life.

A total of 2,000 people aged between 18 and 91 years old, with an almost equal gender split, were recruited for the study to rank which songs are “better than sex.” Researchers believe this can determine the importance of music to our love lives.

Tired of been SCAMMED? This is no SCAM

The findings revealed what is on our seduction playlist is more important than what’s underneath our clothes when it comes boosting your sex life.

Over 40 percent of the participants felt that the music they listened to during sex was more likely to turn them on than the touch or feel of their partner. This was driven by the personal connection these participants had to the song of their choice.

The most arousing music to listen to while twisting the sheets was anything from the iconic classic 80s film Dirty Dancing, Marvin Gaye’s "Sexual Healing," and Ravel’s "Bolero."

The top songs on the list are a reflection what we’ve associated with love from childhood, previous experiences, and memories.

“The fact that Dirty Dancing has come top on the list of the best tracks to play during sex for both men and women is due to the fact that most people have a good knowledge of songs that represent romance, and these tend to be from cultural references such as film.”

It's your opportunity now or no more 

The best tracks for seduction in the bedroom were found to share similar qualities, including a greater dynamic range, more use of the high chest voice, more raspiness in the voice, and less use of vocal vibrato. This can be seen in Marvin Gaye’s popular tracks, like "Sexual Healing" and "Let’s Get It On."

The Gaye songs are smooth and possess an emotional quality that fits well with his voice, which conveys passion and emotion. CONTINUE READING
