Do you want an easy way to get in the mood, intensify sex, and even cover the sounds of your raucous lovemaking? Then, music is the answer! This comprehensive list of sex songs will help you start your playlist so you can be prepared when the moment calls! Don’t forget that you can invite your partner to add sexy songs to the list, so you’ll both be extra turned on!
1. “Unchained Melody” – Righteous Brothers
Since 1965, this song has popped up on many sexy song playlists! Whether you first heard it when it was released, as part of the Ghost soundtrack, or came to it from one of the many, many covers, we’re sure you can understand why we’d choose it to start our list! The lyrics ring especially true for anyone who has been separated from their beloved, perhaps because of a long-distance relationship.

Woah, my love, my darling / I’ve hungered for your touch / A long, lonely time / And time goes by so slowly / And time can do so much / Are you still mine? / I need your love / I need your love / God speed your love to me
2. “Don’t Let Go” – En Vogue
The ladies of En Vogue are sexy as hell and full of soul, just like this song that implores someone to become more than a friend. The slow beat ensures the ladies’ voices are the main attraction when they sing:
I often tell myself that we could be more than just friends / I know you think that if we move to soon it would all end / I live in misery when you’re not around /And I won’t be satisfied till we’re taking those vows
There’ll be some love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking / Oh, lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking
Try Deepfield’s cover for a rock take.
3. “Sex and Candy” – Marcy Playground
This late ’90s anthem manages to be sexy and relaxed at the same time. It’s all about setting your sights on a sexy stranger–and hopefully having them look right back at you (here’s how to tell if someone is flirting with you)! When he sings about smelling sex and candy, it almost brings the same scent to mind. Plus, the grunge-influenced singer-songwriter quality evokes nostalgia for a certain era for many of us.
4. “Lights Up” – Harry Styles
Styles may no longer be in a boyband, but this song is one of many that proves he is still a heartthrob who knows how to turn on his fans! A pretty melody and smooth vocals are what make it a sexy song, even though the lyrics are a more surreal take on being in the limelight. But you can ignore the words and just feel the song if you add it to your sex songs playlist!
5. “Dirty Diana” – Michael Jackson
Here’s a powerfully sexual song by the King of Pop. The guitar riffs in this song make it stand out from most of Jackson’s other work while the lyrics make it clear that he’s singing about a woman who is willing to do what others won’t. She might even have read our tips on how to give a good blow job!
6. “Close” – Nick Joan ft. Tove Love
The first Jonas brothers song to feature on this list is Nick, who sings about how “space is just a word made up by someone who’s afraid to get too close.” While the song is sultry and slow, the emotional closeness suggested by the lyrics is mirrored by the fact that it’s a duet with Tove Lo. The video is also super hot!
6. “Strawberry Wine” – Deana Carter
The sound of this song has always matched the story it tells of a woman looking back on her early love, and it still makes a good sex song nearly three decades after it was released. Feel free to pour some strawberry wine–or your drink of choice–for yourself and your partner as you melt into each other’s embrace, perhaps while reminiscing.
7. “I’ll Make Love to You” – Boyz II Men
The 90s were such a good time for hot R&B songs, and here’s just one example. Listening to the boys croon always reminds us what it’s like to be wanted and have our partner pay attention, especially with the line “I’ll make love to you like you want me to.” So turn on the music and turn down the lights because this ballad is sure to put you in the mood.

8. “Until the End of Time” – Justin Timberlake
With “Until the End of Time,” Timberlake showed he was here to stay as a solo artist. The song is his typical style, blue-eyed soul, which makes it easy to sway your hips to as you dance–or fuck. You can also use it to help profess your love to your partner, thanks to lyrics like this:
‘Cause if your love was all I had in this life / Well, that would be enough until the end of time / So rest your weary heart and relax your mind / ‘Cause I’m gonna love you, girl, until the end of time
9. “Wicked Game” – Chris Isaak
“Wicked Game” is one of those songs that has always made listeners feel nostalgic, even when it was brand new. This is probably because of the twangy guitar, which manages to feel retro and sad, and perfectly matches the story of a lover who broke the singer’s heart. You may want to ignore the lyrics if you listen to this song in the bedroom, but its beat remains perfect for a sexual soundtrack, regardless.
10. “Nice & Slow” – Usher
For three decades, Usher has been releasing hip hop jams, including some slower tracks where his sexy velvet voice practically serenades the listener. We’ve chosen “Nice & Slow” with a slow beat that matches the tone of the singer’s words, but you coldn’t go wrong with “Daddy’s Home,” “You Make Me Wanna…” or “My Way,” either!
11. “Drop on By” – Laura Bell Bundy
While some seductive songs on this list are massive hits, this one flies slightly under the radar. However, the song’s beat reminds us of classic country songs while Laura sings an invitation to her lover to stop by (booty call tips). How many of us haven’t wanted to–or even did–send a message like this?
Yeah darlin’, you don’t have to give me any warnin’ / Make it tonight, make it early mornin’ / Oh, darlin’, just drop on by

9. “Dangerous Woman” – Ariana Grande
Who among us can say they’ve never met someone who made them want to do kinky things that they shouldn’t? The slow and sultry beat of this song makes it the perfect song to have sex to, especially if you enjoy slow sex. Plus, many women will feel sexually charged by the song’s lyrics.
10. “Can’t Get Enough” – Bad Company
Here’s something for the classic rock lovers! “Can’t Get Enough” is a guitar-driven song that talks openly of needing someone’s love. Whether that’s PG or X-rated is up to you! And if you like the sound, the band has several other popular sexy songs, including “Feel Like Making Love.”
12. “Gettin’ You Home” – Chris Young
Sexuality knows no genre, as this song by country singer Chris Young shows. He talks about gazing at his lover as he entertains ideas of what they’ll do together after they get home. It seems like she knows how to dress sexy!
Walkin’ through the front door / Seein’ your black dress hit the floor / Uh honey there sure ain’t nothin’ / Like you lovin’ me all night long / And all I can think about is gettin’ you home
13. “Closer” – Nine Inch Nails
Here’s a song for those people who like things a little harder! This industrial song’s lyrics are pretty upfront about frontman Trent Reznor’s intentions.
I wanna fuck you like an animal / I wanna feel you from the inside / I wanna fuck you like an animal / My whole existence is flawed / You get me closer to God
It might be extra hot if you play it while getting down with some rough sex.

14. “Hands to Myself” – Selena Gomez
This former Disney Channel star proves she’s all grown up in this sexy song about not being able to keep her hands off her lover. She asks what we’re all thinking when she says, “I mean, I could, but why would I want to?” The beat and lyrics are perfect for giving a striptease to your man, listening to while you finger yourself, or just playing in the background during intimate sex.
15. “I Touch Myself” – Divinyls
Of course, we have to include this iconic masturbation song! It’s not just an erotic song. Listen to the lyrics, and you’ll see it’s a love song, too.
You’re the one who makes me come runnin’ / You’re the sun who makes me shine / When you’re around, I’m always laughin’ / I want to make you mine
The original version is classic pop, but you’ll find plenty of rock and metal covers if that’s more up your alley.

16. “Sex on Fire” – Kings of Leon
Speaking of rock, here’s an option from rockers Kings of Leon. The lyrics discuss someone whose “sex is on fire,” which we assume means they’re incredibly attractive or they have incredibly sex skills. But it’s the emotional quality of the guitar, drums, and vocals that really set this late 2000s song apart from the rest.

17. “Dance Like We’re Making Love” – Ciara
One of the newer songs on this list, “Dance Like We’re Making Love” is clearly a song about sex, and we love it (and Ciara’s sexy lingerie in the video)! Ciara’s words ask for the type of close contact that won’t just imitate sex–it’ll encourage it!
off the wall / body to body / you and i will / all through the night baby / closer than before
In fact, many people could learn a lesson about dirty things to say to a guy from this song.
Psst, learn how to choose lingerie for your body.
18. “Let’s Get It On” – Marvin Gaye
Sometimes known as the Prince of Soul, Marvin Gaye has an entire discography of sexy songs, starting with this one that is about exactly what the title suggests. “Let’s Get It On” proves that sometimes the classics really are that good! For another lovemaking song by the Motown singer, try “Sexual Healing.”

19. “Soothe My Soul” – Depeche Mode
You could argue for hours over the sexiest song by this band, especially because they’ve consistently been making music for so long, but “Soothe My Soul” is a great option for your sexy playlist. The electronic rock sound is sexy enough by itself, but the vague danger in the threat “I’m not leaving until I’m satisfied” is also super sexy!

20. “Earned It” The Weeknd
The Weeknd’s contribution to the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack is a sensual song, as you’d expect, thanks to its beat and lyrics (so maybe turn it on when trying some light bondage or spanking).
You can imagine yourself in either role as his sweet voice sings about caring for his lover’s needs because she has earned it. And if you want to watch as well as listen, the video features burlesque performers dancing to the slow song while bathed in light and muted colors.

21. “Justify My Love” – Madonna
No list of songs about sex is complete without at least one Madonna song, although there are plenty to choose from! We opted for “Justify My Love,” where the singer uses sultry whisper-like singing against an electronic backdrop in a letter so intimate that it sounds like she’s speaking directly to her lover! Of course, you can always check “Erotic” or “Like a Virgin” for more Madonna music to make love to.
22. “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Babe” – Barry White
Barry White’s instantly recognizable and deep voice just sounds like sex (it might not be the best option to seduce a man, however!). Perhaps that’s why so many of the singer’s songs have an erotic element. This one is an especially good option if you find that some of the sexy songs on this list are too modern.
23. “Rev 22:20” – Puscifer
This song isn’t like any other on the list with its heavier sound but slow beat and Maynard James Keenan (of Tool and A Perfect Circle) uses religious metaphors while singing about a woman.
I’ll sell my soul / To be back in your bosom / Gladly now please suck me dry / And still you cry / To be back in her bosom / Do it again
Pray Till I go blind / PRAY / Cuz nobody ever survives / I’m praying to stay alive just to die a little longer / Saviors and saints and devils and demons alike / She’ll eat you alive

24. “Glory Box” – Portishead
This band’s unique combination of jazz, electronica, and low-fi sounds is known as trip-hop, and “Glory Box” has some deep guitar riffs that are enticing guitar with haunting vocals to create something entirely new. Truthfully, the entire album could be on your playlist of sexy songs, but if you had to choose only one, you can’t go wrong with a song that includes the line “give me a reason to be a woman.”
25. “Faded Love” – Tinashe
When you want to enjoy sex without thinking about it, this song hits the spot. Tinashe minces no words when she sings “follow me, follow me, follow me home” to someone whose name and phone number she isn’t interested in learning. This is another song that proves how sexy R&B can be. And just look at how hot she is in the video!

26. “Stop The World I Wanna Get Off With You” – Arctic Monkeys
This modern rock song is laden with metaphor’s, but we all know what the lyrics refer to when they say ” I know that getting you alone isn’t easy to do”–sex! Of course, the right partner can make you feel like you’re the only people in the world or that time has stopped, so we appreciate the metaphor. Their song “Do I Wanna Know” is similarly sexy.
27. “Pony” – Ginuwine
This song gets right to the point with the following lyrics:
I’m just a bachelor / I’m looking for a partner / Someone who knows how to ride / Without even falling off
Gotta be compatible / Takes me to my limits / Girl, when I break you off / I promise that you won’t want to get off
If you’re horny, let’s do it / Ride it, my pony / My saddle’s waitin’ / Come and jump on it
And while the metaphor may not be super strong, the beat sure is. “Pony” almost instantly joined our lists of love making songs when it debuted in 1996. No wonder it was featured in the movie Magic Mike.

28. “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right” – Billy Currington
This slow country song is an ideal love making song, thanks to its R&B influences, especially if you want to connect emotionally and not just physically (learn if your man is making love to you or having sex). And if you like singing to your partner, you can easily change “deep blue need you eyes” to reflect their actual eye color.
29. “Fade Into You” – Mazzy Star
For those who are looking for songs to make love to and not overtly sexual songs, Mazzy Star’s best-known hit is a great option. It’s slow and sensual as she sings about a desire to become one with another person. You can hold your partner’s hand while listening to lyrics such as “I want to hold the hand inside you.”
30. “Adorn” – Miguel
It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than a decade since this song debuted, but it’s true! Miguel still pulls at our heartstrings as he sings in his smooth voice about how he’ll always take care of his lover. The lyrics might not necessarily be explicit, but this soul song was written to get our bodies moving, whether on the dancefloor or in the bedroom!
31. “Come Undone” – Duran Duran
You’re not alone if you associate this sexy song with the 80s, but it was actually released in 1993! Regardless of its age, it’s a worthy contender for this list of the sexiest songs. It starts out a strong love song with lines like:
Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin / I’ve been waiting for you
Before continuing to describe the object of affection’s apparently magical hold over the singer. Aside from mentioning love and need, there’s no direct mention of sexy, but it’s easy to understand how a skilled lover and strong sexual connection (some call this sexual chemistry) can make you come undone!
32. “Gorilla” – Bruno Mars
With lyrics like “You got your legs up in the sky” and “You and me, baby, we’ll be fuckin’ like gorillas,” this R&B-inspired track is pretty explicit. And that’s what makes it a great song for your sexy time playlist! Some people might prefer songs that are a little more poetic or less direct. Everyone else should give it a listen.
33. “Craving You” – Thomas Rhett ft. Maren Morris
Most of us can relate to the feeling Rhett describes when he sings about something he can’t walk away from, and you can use this song to express the same to your partner without having to say it. This is another song where a male-female duet enhances the song’s meaning. It’s clear that country’s got sexy songs, too!
34. “Chains” – Nick Jonas
We couldn’t help but add a second Nick Jonas song. He’s just so good at crossing pop, electronica, and hip hop while singing about lust! Many have pointed out the song’s S&M themes, which make it a clear contender for the sexiest song. Would you believe that it wasn’t on any Fifty Shades soundtrack?! For a bonus, “Under You” would also be a worthy addition to any sexy playlist!
35. “Any Time, Any Place” – Janet Jackson
Janet has always let her freak flag fly (starting with “Nasty” and its spicy message), but this song is a sweeter take that brings to mind romantic love making rather than a quickie with a stranger. The soft lighting of the video perfectly matches the slow tempo, too.

36. “Come a Little Closer” – Dierks Bently
How about another option for the country lovers? Bently’s song reminds us how good it can feel to have sex with someone we love after an argument as long as we’re willing to come a little closer. Many people find the line “I want to touch you like a cleansing rain and let it wash all the hurt away” to be especially powerful, and we all know how emotional closeness can be good for sexual intimacy!
37. “All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You” – Heart
Finally, we have a great love making song that’s almost the opposite of the previous one. The strong female singers of Heart tell a story about young lust between strangers (one of several common sexual fantasies). It’s pretty much a staple on any playlist of sexy songs! Halestorm also has a rad cover of this song that’s a little heavier.
So what do you think is the sexiest song on this list? Let us know in the comments or leave other sexy song suggestions for readers! Hopefully, the variety of sexy songs on this list should inspire you to take off your clothes and be naughty!
Orgasm Every Time. Easily. Here’s How...
I want to tell you about my friend Karen.
Karen came to me one day. She was hysterical.
She told me that her marriage was falling apart because she and her husband didn’t have satisfying sex.
Every time they were intimate, Karen was faking her orgasms. It turns out she couldn’t orgasm during sex.
In fact...
She never had an orgasm in her entire life. Not one!
This left her feeling embarrassed and ashamed. And...
She completely hid this from her husband. Thankfully...
It turns out that there is a way for any woman to orgasm. Easily. And have multiple vaginal and full body orgasms during sex and masturbation.
I shared the process with Karen.
After she followed the simple process, she could barely come to terms with how...
Quickly and dramatically her sex life changed.
We met up a few months later and...
She would not stop talking about it,
“I thought I was one of those women who couldn’t orgasm. I used to think I was ‘broken’ and ‘unfixable.’ This saved my sex life, and that saved my marriage.”
Even if you currently struggle to orgasm during sex or when masturbating, this process will also work for you.
And best of all, you don’t need to do anything weird or uncomfortable to start having the best orgasms and sex of your life.
