Music for sex

Almost every band you hear interviewed say that they got into playing in a band so they could meet girls, and or boys. That is pretty understandable, Most are teenagers when they start making music, and pretty much all you think about as a teenager is sex. However, so much of the music is about breaking up, or getting together, very little is about actually being together and even less is made for actually getting the mood right. Obviously this is because of the social mores and the taboo to do with sex.

I get that, but it does seem very puritancial doesn't it. I mean everyone is doing it, well I hope so for your sakes . . . Some of the stronger stronger artists have no issues about singing about it, like this from the ever sexy Joan Jett

That is a great anthemic song, not sure if it is great for setting the mood though. Perhaps it is a little more of an animal thing. I was and am a big fan of Ms Jett. I was a little young to get into The Runaways when they were a going concern , but they and all of Ms Jetts subsequent music has played up the innate sexual appeal of a beautiful sassy woman with a guitar. Yet, in one of those unusual things about the media, she refuses to discuss her own sexuality. Not that it matters, the fantasy is usually enough for most of us.

So if that is not a great song for getting the 'mood' right. then what is? Well depending on which way your bread is buttered, which parish you come from, end you bowl from (loving the euphimisms) this is a song that broke a lot of ground

I can see that. Although it is a song specifically aimed at the gay target audience , I see that it has a regular beat and is long enough to be umm, satisfying . . That particular song was banned for some time, because of the overt gay sexual nature of it. Seems odd to us nearly 30 years later. I guess there will always be that in music though. What was subversive in one age is the norm in the next. Saying that though, it still seems, particularly in puritantical America and Catholic South America, that that sort of thing is very much outside of the main stream. They still love Queen though. I wonder if they know??

Back to the point, music to have whilst you are doooooing IT.

Well if you are going to be all romantic about it all , this certainly works...

That is an extremely sensual song isn' it? Well certainly the beat is. Although the lyrics seem to be a bit of the ' cant believe that you have left me' lyric. That may be a bit off putting don't you think? Not sure, maybe because you are otherwise occupied, you will not be paying attention to the lyrics. Let's hope so. So there you have a lovely sensual song.

They do say though, that you are supposed to have a laugh while you are getting busy. So maybe this is appropriate for that special mood setting:

I do not know about that, I mean how can you , ah , concentrate when you are laughing like that? You need to remember to stay classy and still get down to it. Not sure if that is the best song, still, maybe to change it up a gear and add some spice to the whole thing...

If we get a bit more serious about the whole thing, because to so many people it is a serious thing. Not something to be taken lightly, just given away, a weapon almost . . then we have this

I do not think there is a better song to get across the animal, primal nature of the whole thing. If there is then I would like to hear it. Although the whole getting closer to God is a somewhat unusual edge to the whole experience. I guess because there is so much guilt attached to the act by the prevailing ideas of the church that putting that into the song ensures that it becomes that much more primal . .kind of knowing exactly what you are doing and tapping into all the taboo in order to make it special. A bit messed up really, but a lot of fun . .

I will however say that the world of Hip Hop and R&B deals with this topic a lot better than the others. Because although Rock and Roll may be about being sexy, R&B is about having sex . . sometimes just by yourself . .

Right, with that all said , do you have a song ? I need to go and find my wife . . .
