Whatever's on the Weather Channel. No joke that's where the composers of 80s porno soundtracks have gone out to pasture. But these days they're playing Christmas renditions, so you can either get into that or not.
The only other music I've listened to for sex in recent memory was we put on some trance station on Pandora. And I haven't really listened to much trance since I was a teenager, but I must say that it was pretty good for bonin'. Later on that night I tried to switch it to a Lindstrom and Prins Thomas Pandora station, and that started out alright, but devolved pretty quickly and we both burst into laughter and turned it off, with my wife saying "I can't fuck to this elevator music!"

Worst I ever did was the White Album. It was all good until Obla-Di-Obla-Da showed up. "oompa-oompa" is NOT sexy.

A reoccurring gag in Don McKellar's Last Night has Callum Keith Rennie's put Parliament's "I've Been Watching You (Move Your Sexy Body)" on each time he makes a conquest / crosses a act/partner type off his bucket list. Should I date another fan I'll have to put it on (for laughs, if nothing else). It segues into "Funkin' for Fun".

This is a silly thread of course, very ilx circa 2002. The music - if at all - should suit both people entering the sexual arrangement iirc. It cannot be one person (ie. the ilx poster) putting on something that might be off-putting for the other person.
Havind said that, I've enjoyed great sexual synchronicity with both Natacha Atlas' 'Foretold in the Language of Dreams' and Cocteau Twins' 'Blue Bell Knoll'.

In lost my virginity to a Metallica bootleg album. I brought the poor lady back to my place with the promise of checking out some bootlegs and she got bonus bad sex.
The best musical interlude in that respect was when I was hanging out with a stripper and I played her US3. She started dancing to the single and next thing you know, I was experiencing something out of Penthouse Forum.
Needless to say, I have a very soft spot for that album.
