Mood music during sexy time

My wife sometimes likes to have some music playing during romantic moments. (Although she likes this, we rarely actually stop in a moment to turn music on once events start to unfold.) Several days ago I made a quick playlist on my phone for some mood music -- about 15 or so songs. Then the other night, after the kids were in bed, I turned on the playlist.

Things progressed.

Afterward, my wife picked up my phone and started looking at the playlist. I asked if she wanted something added to the selections.

She said, "I'm just looking to see what you have in this list."

I pointed out that she had just been listening to the whole list over the past hour or so. It had probably even started repeating. "So you've heard everything there."

"Oh," she said, "I don't remembering hearing any of it."

I didn't hear any of it, either. I couldn't have said what song had played before the current one. I think I remember the song that started the evening, but between that first and this last, no memory of any of it. This situation prompted us to talk about mood music, and we realized that actually we've never really noticed the music playing the background.

So this brings up the question: Why bother with music during romantic moments. (And by "romantic," I'm meaning "sex.") Maybe it helps set a mood before the mood arrives, but once "in the zone," I and she kind of tune out everything.

Do you and/or your significant other like mood music for "romantic moments"? Do you actually hear it?

And what is your favorite sexy music? I like R&B, my wife likes classic easy listening love songs. They're not too dissimilar, so they can mix well. I include both in our lovin' tunes playlist. But what if you and your SO have very different tastes in sexy music? How do you handle it? (Way back in my single days, I dated a girl who liked hard rock/metal. That was an interesting mood setter.)

My wife and I like Toni Braxton. Our spontaneous moments actually have little to do with music, though, and more with location: for some reason they always seem to start in the kitchen.

The only music my wife and I ever listen to during that time is ... well, I'm sure you can guess. What? Sometimes we like to watch a li'l, too. :p

Anyhoo, I'm with ya in that it's pretty pointless cuz you just ain't even gonna notice it. I do recall actually being brought out of the moment in my younger days - the radio is never a good idea. A gf of mine back in the day loved metal and so did I. Metallica (blech!) and Slayer (yay!) were frequently the background noise.

If I were to put a playlist together today it would likely be if I were single and it'd be rather silly on purpose. I'd like to see if whoever I was with would notice what was actually playing behind the moment. Problem is, I'd probably end up laughing too much and ruin the whole damned thing. Anyhoo, here's a couple I'd put on that list:

ICP's Another Love Song
The Greenskeeper's Lotion
 

Oh, I have several suggestions.

Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady (Album) by Lovage

This is a band that is comprised of Nathaniel Merriweather, Mike Patton (from Faith No More) and Jennifer Charles (from Elysium Fields). Jennifer Charles has, quite simply, one of the sexiest voices I have ever heard!

Dummy by Portishead

A little dark, but still nice and intimate. I particularly like the songs Biscuit and Glory Box for those special times.

Anything by Massive Attack.

Bitter:Sweet is also a nice band. Kind of jazzy...

I think the effect is subliminal. You may not notice what music is playing, or even that music is playing, but it will still affect your mood.
There's a reason they're using music in movies and tv shows.

Oh, and the most 'romantic' music I listen to, is probably from Elbow.
 

[sblock] important_life_lesson.png[/sblock] personally, we never had music going while going at it, but i understand that Berry White used to be a thing way back when
