As someone perpetually preoccupied with finding the exact right song for every moment of my life, I consider background music extremely important for setting erotic moods. However, not all encounters demand the same music; in fact, different circumstances require vastly different playlists. Two a.m. booty calls have very different atmospheres and needs (including muffling activity so your roommates can’t hear) than heart wrenching breakup/make up sex. Romantic candlelight evenings shouldn’t have the same soundtrack as when you’re filthy talking about the new strap on.
In light of these differences, I’ve assembled 5 playlists for your five basic banging needs. Behold.
