Y'see, a bit of 'ohh-la-la' to the sounds of MBV's 'Loveless' should be perfect - but as I only have it on vinyl I can only listen to one side before it cuts off half-way through. I can't very well get up and turn it over - CAN I? Which is one point in favour of CD's.
Zero 7's 'Simple Things' is a goodie... but it's a bit sedate.
I'm just getting a bit bored of hearing Al Green's 'Greatest Hits' all the time, that's all. I need something new.

Being liked by both people is a good start, especially if you're one of ILM's monogamists. I'd be spending a night with Captain Wrist if I tried putting Loveless on, for instance.

The weirdest music I've ever made out to is definitely The Holy Bible. I just sat there totally not thinking about what was going on, saying, hmmm, this isn't very romantic, listening to someone talking about anorexia and getting snogged. What was the guy thinking?
I have much weirder experiences with what's on the tv/vcr/dvd when a guy starts up, actually. Let's just say South Park = bad sex tv cos I don't pay attention (another what the hell are you thinking experience), and I can't bring myself to watch a certain Christian Bale film without giggling.

And I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYONE HERE, before anyone gets all pissy with me.
The Great Satan of shag-music is the C90. Unless made specially, if you have a 'suitable' thing on side A, a cosmic law states you will have Asian Dub Foundation (or something equally no-no) on side B and will have forgotten about it. My trusty auto-reversing stereo has let me down on many occasions like this.
Important search-and-destroy question: songs that are meant to be sexy. Je T'Aime (Moi Non Plus) ISN'T. Love To Love You Baby IS (sort of).

Ally, how inconceivable is it that someone would like the sound of their own voice? Or have you forgotten already about the guy you know who wants to go around every day wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with his own image?

Note that I did not say GOOD BACKGROUND FOR SEX MUSIC.
I have this horrible paper cut on my finger. It looks like an animal was gnawing on me. I swear to god. It is all black and blue and it poured blood all over my keyboard and now it's all disgusting looking. A paper cut!!!
Voodoo is the short shit, definitely. The bass isn't plentiful, but what they do with it...
I like jazz for such activity, but it's a fine line, isn't it? On the one hand, Coltrane's ballads record is the most romantic thing I've ever heard. On the other, as a friend of mine once said, smooth jazz is anything that would enhance your Jacuzzi.
To answer the question: forget AC/DC, it's Danzig all the way.

Peter Gabriel's PassionFuture Sound of London's LifeformsTalvin Singh's OK, also the Sounds of the Asain Underground compNusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Final Studio Sessions(those NFAK/Michael Brook colab CDs were good too)Bjork's Vespertine*Buckethead's ColmaDJ Shadow's "What Does Your Soul Look Like?" series of tracksalso just about every Miles Davis or John Coltrane record EVER
*It seems extremely rare that vocal/lyrical music makes for appropriate sex-music, but there are some exceptions.**
**However, I once had a surprisingly extraordinary amazing drunken shag to JSBX's Orange. I wouldn't expect anything like that to happen ever again though.

I lost my virginity to an Ella Fitzgerald comp years and years ago. I definitely second jazz.
I suppose I am one of those horrible people who had sex to their own music. When I was doing ambient a few years back I recorded a cd's worth of material specifically for having sex. It featured a lot of volume dynamics and delicate washes. I was looking for audio wallpaper to add a bit of color to the room, nothing intrusive or demanding. It was actually pleasant when played quietly.
I did not mention to her that it was my music or that I had made it specifically for the occasion. I think it was about as creepy as having sex in a room that you decorated or having sex in front of a painting that you did. It is just decoration.

i was going to say that some of the freer albums by these two would not make the best shagging music, but let's just say Peter Brötzmann's "Fuck de Boere"* was on once and it created for a wild experience

My answers would be:*Peter Gabriel - _Passion_. I don't know why, maybe it's the repressed ex-Catholic Schoolgirl in me, but this album makes me wanna get it on. (And it really worries me that it's in Nickalicious' list as well)
*Bowery Electric - _Beat_. Aaaahhhh. Non-obtrusive, but with lots of lovely textures and gently building beats that get faster and more insistent as the album moves from foreplay to out and out gettin' it on.
*Spiritualized - _Volume 1_. This is so obvious that it goes without saying. In fact, the other night, while I was taking a bath, HSA sidled in, deposited a speaker on the floor which was playing the Feel So Sad glides and chimes arkestra. A few minutes later, HSA siddles in and deposits a beanbag on the floor next to the bathtub. A few minutes later HSA siddles in and deposits himself in the beanbag with an icecold Lime Baccardi Breezer and waggles his eyebrows at me.
GOD YES, I AM HAVING SEX, AND I AM SO PLEASED WITH THIS THAT I HAVE TO TELL THE WORLD, THANK YOU GOD, YES, YES, YES, I'M IN LOVE AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT.
Ha-hem. Yes, anyway... :-)
