How to Create a Sexy Playlist: 5 Top Tips to Help You Turn the Volume up on Pleasure

Looking to switch up your bedroom routine whilst also creating a super sensual atmosphere? Music is a must have in order to ensure a sensory experience like no other.

Today, the LOVE Team will take you on an auditory journey to help you create the perfect playlist that’s ready to accompany you in your most intimate moments.

Why Put Together a Playlist?

Putting music on during intimate moments isn’t anything new, and we’ve all got an anecdote- whether it be our own, from a friend, or even from a tv series- of an inappropriate, even embarrassing song coming on at the wrong moment. It happens much more often than we think, and it’s a real mood killer. There is, however, one easy solution to avoiding this problem, and that’s to create a dedicated playlist. This way, you won’t sound like a broken record recounting your embarrassing experience to friends, and the atmosphere is sure to remain highly charged with eroticism.

Playlists can actually have a big impact on the quality of your romps. That being said, the best sensual playlists aren’t simply a collection of sexy songs thrown together in one convenient place. For it to have maximum effect, you have to think about the rhythm, the words, the general atmosphere… and even the length of your playlist.

Before We Get Started

It may seem obvious, but your playlist is just one of the things that creates an atmosphere. Think about invoking all of your senses: smell, taste, touch, sight… dim the lights, light some candles and have your favourite toys at hand to help you create a fully immersive experience.

1. Set the rhythm

Music can help set the rhythm for play. If the rhythm is too fast, it might subconsciously push you to rush things, causing a hasty, potentially disappointing finish.

On the other hand, super slow songs might create an overly tranquil atmosphere that lacks the sexual tension needed to reach the peak of pleasure. It’s best to find a balance between the two if you want rhythmic, pleasure filled moments.

2. Be careful of the lyrics

Depending on what type of atmosphere you’re looking to create, you’ll need to avoid adding certain songs to your playlist. If you want to create a romantic, love-filled atmosphere, we recommend songs that fit this vibe. Avoid more explicit, crude songs that may make your partner uncomfortable, or even hurt their feelings.

However, if you’re looking for more of a raw, sexually charged atmosphere, then these more explicit options are perfect. Listening to dirty words during the act may help to stimulate the imagination, therefore reinforcing the erotic side of play.

3. Manage the volume

Just like with the rhythm, if the volume isn’t well adjusted to the situation (too loud or too soft), the mood can quickly be dampened. What’s best is to choose a volume that allows you and your partner to hear the music and the lyrics, without making it so loud that you can no longer hear each other. Communication is essential to make sure that everyone is comfortable and having a good time, allowing you to react quickly if this isn’t the case.

Putting the music on a little louder may, however, be good for those who don’t live alone as it can help to muffle any less discreet sounds…

4. Manage the duration

Don’t want to ruin the mood? Try creating a playlist that’s sure to last longer than the deed itself (this includes foreplay), this way you’ll be sure you don’t end up finishing the fun in an awkward silence once the music cuts out. Normally we’d tell you that size doesn’t matter, but in this case it definitely does!

What’s more, the more songs you fill your playlist with, the more you can listen to it without feeling like you’re constantly hearing the same songs. This will make it so that each individual experience is passion filled and unique.

5. Organise

Try putting the songs in your playlist in an order that supports a gradual increase in tension. This way you won’t be stuck with a constant change in rhythm. Your playlist should follow your natural movements, not the other way round.

Now that you’ve got all the tips you need to create your own sexy playlist, you’ll be certain to transform each encounter into all-round, pleasure filled moments.
