Musical moves

Music and sex practically go hand in hand. We've all heard it: Music leads to dancing, dancing leads to kissing, and kissing leads to sex. That's not always the case, but today, it definitely is.

Music choice can be very diverse in the bedroom, depending on the mood. There's always nights when you just want some slow jams, but of course it's fun to spice it up with something a bit more fun and fast-paced.

Exhibit A: Slow indie sex

This would be reserved for artists like The xx (I can practically hear the moaning when I listen to VCR), the acorn, and Air (I'm thinking the Virgin Suicides, so heavy...I recommend playground love). I also love Atlas Sound, Boards of Canada, Bahamas, Deerhunter, Explosions in the Sky, Horse Feathers, Great Lake Swimmers, Grizzly Bear, Sufjan Stevens, Radiohead and God is an Astronaut. All excellent choices for a more romantic feel sans cheese. For the ULTIMATE soft sexy night: Bon Iver all the way!
As for a very new favourite of mine: Warpaint. It will make you melt.



Exhibit B: Living a little electro

A little faster for your sweaty nights spent in bed. I'm a huge fan of a little electro...or a lot. The Avalanches have to be a part of your sexy sounds, and Caribou's "Swim" is up there for me as well. Chromeo is always fun, too! And for those who always love a little throw back, The Crystal Method always satisfies. Other favourites would have to be Cut Copy, Autoerotique, Discovery (Actually an ultimate fave), Ellen Alien, Crystal Castles, Skream, Prefuse 73, M83 and Holy Fuck.



Exhibit C: Rock steady, not too heavy

I have to say, Friendly fires fits in this category quite well. Also...The Handsome Furs, Menomena, The Wrens, Ratatat, Wintersleep, White Rabbits, and TV on the Radio...just to name a few.



Exhibit D: Bump n' grind

Ultimate cheese, of course! I'm talking the old and good stuff right here. How about some R. Kelly and 112 (Peaches n' Cream, as if you didn't hear that song in middle school), B2K, Boyz 2 Men, and...well, you get the idea. These are classics that can always get you in the mood...at least, I think so.



Exhibit E: Hard and fast

A little rough but who doesn't like that every so often? I enjoy some Dizzee Rascal, Girl Talk, Borgore, Sleigh Bells, Deadmau5, Datsik, DZ, Chrispy and Excision. This is the stuff that makes you go a little crazy in the sack. And... what you're likely to whip out only every so often. Not every night...unless you're all for hard and fast 24/7.
