Music & sex

July 16 2011

sex

I used to be with a girl with great taste in music. The best sex we had was to music. Sadly now I'm with someone who doesn't like music or sex but was listening to a cd this afternoon and reminiscing. I was also reminded of an episode of True Blood (s3e8) where Sookie & Bill have hot sex at the end of the episode to a metal track (Otep - Head). It's something I have always wanted to replicate but have never met a girl who is into metal music and preppie guys (surely they can't be completely mutually exclusive). Anyways, this post is supposed to be about you guys sharing, not me feeling sorry for myself ... so the questions:1. What is your favourite song/album/artist to have sex to?2. If you are with someone who you don't share musical tastes with do you just give up on music during sex?The cd I was reminiscing about was by a Canadian band called Tea Party. They play a tantric style of rock with a beautiful rhythm for really slow sensual sex.

    Question #1 - a) For slow, sensual erotic sex, "Love Bites" by Def leppard is definitely the #1 song. Or most by Def Leppard for that matter. Also, anything by Opeth also works for some animalistic reason... Or "Deadhead" by Devin Townsend....or most by Bon Jovi.... shit...I'll stop now... b) For rough, passionate, impulsive sex...otherwise known as a good hard fuck, it would have to be "Kill To Believe" by Bleeding Through...or "Numb" by Disturbed...or "Antichrist Superstar" by Marilyn Manson... or "California" by Rob Zombie... something like that Question #2 - No. Definitely not. Music is such a damn passionate art, how could you not want to play that while having one of the most pleasurable acts we can do as humans??? Also, my musical tastes are pretty broad, so I can normally compromise pretty well. And I also don't normally get involved with someone who doesn't atleast also share the same musical open-mindedness as I do... Hope I've helped!

Do I take this to mean you've decided to chaperone me to the Def Leppard concert after all? . I actually agree with almost all of KD's post ... but my tastes are much more ... eclectic, to the point where I'd be here all night with my list! So in the interests of not writing too much, I agree with KD, except for Marilyn Manson. I couldn't have sex with Marilyn Manson playing. I'd maybe throw in your Opeth stuff instead, or some Nine Inch Nails or Staind.

    Quoting 'Nick_Wilde' How about some Soulfly, some Machine Head or some Ministry. Judas Priest or Sabbath even... and thats pushing it. Oooh! Ministry! I'll pay that! Personally I prefer not to stop fucking until I'm exhausted and so far... I've only found two women who could actually outlast me, and they were really challenging. Not even a scratch on my back, how fucking rude. Very fucking rude! What's a guy gotta do to get a little bloodsport these days! Pfft! Women!

    Not passing judgement, but some people here are listening to stuff that should have been collecting dust for a couple of decades now.It seems a pity, as music is pretty good at the moment, I think...

I'm a music fan of old and new...but seriously, you can't tell me theres much being churned out of late that can or will be considered "timeless classics". I would be VERY surprised if popular music of today such as Lady Gaga, or Beyonce, for example, will be remembered in 20 years time. Hell, or even 10...The music industry has really gone to shit in the last few years. Music that was once played with passion and soul, has been pushed aside to make way for the 5 minute fame "disposable music". And as a music connoisseur, I'll be dammed if I'm about to waste my time listening to anything that wasn't made with heart...blood, sweat, and tears. Thats why I'll still give the new music coming out a go, but my old catalogue of music will very rarely collect dust...

Isn't it more important how relevant it is today? Besides, Lady Gaga and Beyonce are the Madonna of the modern day - I didn't ever consider her music to be timeless, yet her first album came out almost 30 years ago.I think you can always go back to the old stuff, but if you miss music as it unfolds, you're left with a gap. As for disposable music, new wave was an act of rebellion against the sickliness of disco in the late 70's. It was supposed to be disposable (check "Flying Lizards" on Wikipedia), but took off because of the times. Punk developed at much the same time for some of the same reasons.Blood sweat and tears? Meh... give me something that inspires or makes me laugh or dance. It's my heart that matters, not the artists...

    If the artist doesn't care about the music on anything but a superficial level how can that inspire anyone to truly like it?... Music is supposed to provoke emotion, if it doesn't, what's the point? Something to laugh and dance to is great, but give me Weezer over some of the crap out now anyday for that. As far as sex, music can both soothe and unleash the savage beast. Can't beat some Machine Head, Fear Factory or perhaps Cradle of Filth for some unbridled hardcore fucking, but for something more sensual, but equally as intense, can't go past Mogwai or some Sigor Ro's. For downright romance bring on The Cowboy Junkies.... (Mrs)

    aliens told me so Better than that, were gonna let you know Just listen up, become a receiver Then lets space out, when you're a believer That's what religions for Music is crap!....Actually, I LOVE listening to music while screwing.

I'm not suggesting that older music has no merit, just that I find it interesting that some fairly young people like music that might have come out when they were in kindergarten. I'm curious, not criticising.If age of music is an indicator of quality, Mozart clearly leaves the Stones for dead. But then, something played on a didgeridoo 10,000 years ago would leave Mozart for dead... it all starts getting a bit meaningless...

    I don't mean to crap on all new music either - there is truly some great new bands out there, rather, I think that so many performers now are doing it for the wrong reasons - to simply be famous instead of for a true passion for what they do. As for timeless music.... What is timeless to me, those albums that will not collect dust because hearing them makes me feel so great, are not nessasarily ones that another would even enjoy, let alone call timeless. Most of those albums are ones that evoke feelings in me that are often tied to a fun/sad/bad/lovely etc. moments in my life, which is why I guess most of them are older albums... Think Nick Cave, many people have never heard of him. I think is is hard for newer bands to come up with something truly original, it all seems to have been done. Then someone comes out of the woodworks like Lisa Mitchell or Regina Spector and blows my socks off - brilliant. It would just be a sad day for music if people stopped listening to the older stuff. I love to come across one of our kids friends who are right into an old band that was way before their time, someone needs to keep it alive... I absolutely see your point though that new music should not be forgotten or ignored, quality is quality regardless of age.

I absolutely see your point though that new music should not be forgotten or ignored, quality is quality regardless of age. Speaking of wrong reasons, what about bands like The Eagles, The Stones and AC DC doing tours just for the money? They charge hundreds for tickets and as often as not, despite the show being spectacular, the overall package is very ordinary. Great bands fade away with their dignity intact instead of being remembered for the wrong reasons. Bob Dylan and BB King were two disappointments at Bluesfest this year - really, the whole line-up was somewhat stale.I have a young teenage daughter and I've been watching with interest as her musical tastes change. Having started high school, her influences are now coming from older kids, so she's been progressing from Justin Beiber to bands like Art v. Science. This seems like a natural progression - I'd be at a loss to understand it if she suddenly took a shine to Peter Frampton, no matter how much I loved him when I was her age. Frampton Comes Alive... then, like all of us, he passes.

    I have to agree with you that there certainly comes a time when bands need to hang up the guitar strings so to speak, there's nothing worse than a band of aged and past-it members trying to relive their bygone days for some quick cash. People will always be there to see them, to relive their own youth, though. I personally think it's tacky... Still, I have to say that younger people finding a flame in themselves being lit by a band past its prime is in a way endearing, it keeps the soul of music alive. It's also great to see kids listening to something a little more alternate, or at least to someone that has something intelligent to say. At the end of the day, I would still prefer my kids (all kids) to listen to something like some old school punk than Lady Gaga. Half your luck for getting to bluesfest though, serious shortage of live music for us lately...

S x Did you say Porcupine Tree??? Oh damn...I think I just fell in love... (Steven Wilson is one musical genius.)And I'm glad someone agrees with me about having a real passion for music. My previous comment to Snowshoe, was meant to mean that I appreciate my "timeless music", more than a lot of the money grabbing crap coming out today. By timeless, I mean the music that obviously has so much passion and soul put into it, it sticks with you throughout the years. There is a good reason why songs like "Stairway To Heaven" by led Zeppelin, "Imagine" by John Lennon, "Nights In White Satin" by the Moody Blues, and others, are still played and listened to a lot today. It's because you FEEL the music...it invokes emotion inside you...whether it's sadness, or joy. And I'm sorry to say, that a lot of todays music, just doesn't have that passion about it. It's just made with $$ in their eyes...But, end of the day, each to their own. If you want to listen to music on a superficial level, and just dance or bop, by all means listen to the next pop track that comes and goes on the radio. I'll be still quite happy listening to my Opeth records (yes...I DID say records...), and pulling out some old school Fleetwood Mac or Dire Straits when I'm in the mood. Oh, and Lubeys, just because I'm nearly 3000kms away, doesn't mean we can't share our passion for music in other ways... Oh. And just to get back on topic for the OP, heres a couple more tracks I'd love to be fucking to today...Bon Jovi - Bed Of RosesChevelle - AntisaintCrazy Town - Black CloudDevin Townsend - StandGuns N Roses - November RainShit...I could go on forever..... somebody STOP ME!!!

Ah, you're getting into dangerous territory suggesting that old music was intelligent and new music isn't. It's easy enough to pick out a few examples ('Number 9' from The White Album?) but we'd spend the next few years sliding down that hill.How does Lady Gaga differ from old school punk? Outrageous fashion, creation of an exclusive club, rebellion, widespread ridicule from those who don't get it... I can't get a struck match between them. I'm not a big fan of her music, but I do love the attitude and the ballsiness. That's the spirit of music for me, not listening to the same songs 30 years after they were released.You're in Toowomba! I'm trying to sell (for cheap) two tickets to Splendour at the moment. You could get your fill of live music for a little while...

You're absolutely entitled to listen to whatever you like, as are we all. Music being subjective, there's no right or wrong - whatever moves you is what you should listen to. The fact that new stuff doesn't move you doesn't mean that it doesn't move anyone though. New music isn't all pop either... and it doesn't get listened to on a superficial level only either, but whatever...Consider this though. I listen to a radio station in Sydney called FBi. It's a community station and I've been a paid subscriber for about 6 years. It plays 50 percent Australian music and half of that from Sydney bands. It's regularly credited with reviving the live music scene in Sydney - there are more venues and more bands than there were after a quite dark period here a few years ago. Aside from one or two administrative people, everyone including the presenters, producers, technicians, website people, janitors and everyone else works for free. As a result, there is virtually no advertising, presumably making it easier for presenters to play music they known and enjoy. Local stuff - musos playing their mates bands. Yep, inconsistent sometimes, but so what?I'm guessing that you're listening to something like Triple M. Because everyone gets paid, they have to play endless, mindless ads. In order to sell them, the businesses need to know exactly what sort of music is going to be played. As the demographic with the most money is say, 30+, playing music that appeals to them provides the most bang for the buck. That music persists in those environments because they can wring money out of it, not because the presenters care about it or feel anything - it's a commercial decision.So if the recording industry has gone to shit, ask yourself who's more responsible for that - me or you?

    If you want truly timeless, passionate music try some blues, jazz or swing. Nina Simone singing "Mr Bojangles" is heart-wrenching, and Ella Fitzgerald singing "Angel Eyes" is divine. Or even older, for passion, joy, delight, silliness, dispair, whatever - you will find what you are looking for in the classical realm. Many of the greatest composers were rebels.Having said that, my favourite bands at The Cat Empire ('world'), Sunshine Brothers (reggae), Drowing Pool (heavy rock), Frenzal Rhomb (punk), Oblivia (alternative), The Cherry Poppin' Daddies (swing). They're all new and fantastic. But not always appropriate for sex...Cheers,MS(the female half)

Punk did grow out of rebellion, but as a middle-class, 15 year old fan when The Sex Pistols hit the scene in the 70s, I'd be lying if I said that it really touched me. It kicked ass and was like nothing I'd heard before, but I was a Canadian farm boy, so rebelling against the monarchy rang pretty hollow. I loved the album, but I think it's important to keep it in perspective.I think we're pretty much saying the same thing - there is now and always has been great music and crap produced. The key is to take pleasure from it in a way that means something to to ourselves, irrespective of what it is or when it came out.

    I used to be with a guy who always put on U2 when we started to have sex. As the music was progressing, so were we haha. And then, when we were at full swing, we were actually having sex according to the beat of the music. It was fantastic. I loved it. I knew another guy who liked soft slow music, but we never really got to the full swing of sex as when I was with the guy listening to U2. Good beat.
