I've been listening to Portishead a lot tonight, and I have always thought that this music would be great sex music. It's just so...sexy.
What are your suggestions for a "Sex Mix," if you will?

when i first read the topic to this thread, I thought, "portishead". heh.
I suggest bjork - she's sooo hott.
ive never heard the record, but everyone who i work with is obsessed with norah jones. they say her music is way sexy.
if i was going to be a stripper, i would strip to led zeppelin. robert plant's voice is sexxy sexxy sexxy.
i know this is cliche, but whole lotta love is a sexy song.
melissa ferrick - drive. please download this song - it is sexy as HELL
lords of acid and jeff buckley have their moments as well.

mmmm...sex....

Is this the first ever Features Board "Sex" thread? We've come so far....

Coldplay-- Parachutes

There's a rap song called "Love In The Mouth." If that isn't sex music, then I don't know what is.

The Full House theme is pretty sweet too...

Every post you make, I hate you more. That's pretty amazing. Congrats.

My last "Sex'n" mix CD included the following artists: Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Barry White, Luther Ingram, Luther Vandross, and Teddy Pendergrast. It was delightful.

UNPOSTED

Wow, what a saucy thread. I've heard many people say that Portishead is the way to go, and friends have even borrowed my CDs for that exact purpose. If I were to make a "Sex'n" mix CD (hilarious), I would include Van Morrison for romance and Pulp for dirty sexiness.

I wish that I could believe your stories about your so-called friends; but I know the magnitude of your slutiness, so I am sure that you must be speaking about yourself. You whore

Case in point: when "Police and Thieves" comes in on the Royal Tennenbaums Soundtrack. Not a terrible song, but it just switches up the mood somewhat abruptly. This can be a good thing, though...

hmm... i think that Nightingale by Saves the Day and Close to Me by the cure are great... portishead is definitely a mid-coitus pick for me... different tracks from August and Everything After also qualify...

august and everything after is one of my favorite records. but its...sad. i don't think it fits the mood. unless you're breaking up mid coitus...

not everything is sad... some of it is wistful.

portishead is pretty damn sad too... and angry.

echo & the bunnymen ocean rain = chloe
royal trux song back to school on repeat = olive

garbage's queer single with butterfly collector (both are great fucking songs)
i can't wait for turn on the bright lights to be put to use.

i lost my train of thought... more later.

albums that havent let me down [not for mixing]. but use sparingly.

beastie boys - hello nasty
the donnas - the donnas turn 21
the misfits - the misfits

p.s. travis is better after sex, and especially the man who.

serge gainsbourg- "comic strip"

That definitely brings back some good memories.

haha, if you're into incestuous relationships.

Nice pun.

This sort of differs from the rest of what has been mentioned, but I always thought it would be wonderful to, uh, you know along with Maurice Ravel's piece Bolero .

It's a very sexy song because, in addition to the haunting melody, it starts out as a whisper and ends as a roar.

Elliot Smith XO for raw vulnerability
Abbey Road for epic beauty
Nick Drake for wistfulness & tenderness
And I'll second the Buckley

I'm going to go so far as to say nearly every elliott smith song... he has this way of making you nervous and relaxed at the same time... it's great.

also, The Humpty Dance.

Lies, all lies...

Jeff Buckley would be amazing, if nothing else you could always imagine that it was him (depending on if you like dudes or not). He was a very attractive man with a beautiful voice. Ahhh....

Who isn't?

dude, my cousin gave me this CD one time that he found. it was some girls named Jessica, I concluded that due to the title of the cd Jessica's Mix.. it had the weirdest lists of songs like it just turned into a sex cd...lol
1. 3 doors down - superman
2. some rap song called -Put it in my mouth??? (don't ask)
3. Britney spears- Remix of Crazy mixed with Kris Kross's "Jump"
4. I touch myself by The Divinlys
5. You can do it put ya back into by Ice Cube
6. I wanna know by Joe
7. how many licks by Lil kim
8.Sexual healing by Marvin Gaye
9 If you wanna ride wit me by Nelly
10. and some song by o-town i think
It was just so badddd just badddd me and my sister just laughed or arses off, especially at the put it in my mouth song.. now that had some seriously wrong lyrics!!!!

I will echo Ray Davies' pick and would also add selections by Stan Getz, and, of course, Paul McCartney of some sort is always good.

Hadn't responded to this. For me, there is no whoopie without

Kid Rock
Aerosmith
Sabbath (Black)
Herman's Hermits
MC Hammer
Young MC (for contrast)
Boston
Kansas
Paula Abdul

in that order. I have several mix tapes with different songs that I use.

Dusty Springfield, the Lucky Guns, and The Features.

christ, ben... as i remarked the first time i saw the lucky guns, "that band makes me want to go donkey punching!"

I think that's exactly his point. Some people dig that kind of stuff. Don't knock it 'til you tried it (pun intended).

I have used them before, but only when I'm in the mood for toothless tatooed redneck hoes in their late 30s....

God knows I'm always up for some of that, especially if they're tan.

well you never know, smee........

i just think that the music is sleazy but absolutely wonderful and very sexy at the same time.....

good topic......i had to think about this one a little.

big black- songs about fucking - use only in caution!!! could cause some permanent damages........

the cure - head on the door - a wonderful album thats brings about some sort of romantic feeling inside.

sonic youth - murray street - after it came out last year i began experimenting with the album in different places. obviously it found a great use.

led zeppelin 4 - i'm surprised no one has mentioned this one........

portishead - s/t - this album brings about a memory of a girl who had to have this on while.......ok too much information.

garbage - s/t - theres alot of sexual tension from this album. release it.....

this whole topic falls into the "ok too much information" category for me.
