73 Songs That Make Sex Even Better

“Sex with me so amazing,” Rihanna sings in the last song of Anti. I’m sure it is, she’s Rihanna for Christ’s sake, but I also bet it’s because Rihanna has a bomb-ass sex playlist. She may even include a few of her own songs on it. Who knows?

Music almost always makes sex better, with one condition: You have to play the right songs. Listening to heavy metal probably isn’t going to get you and your partner in the mood. (If it does, good for you! No taste-shaming here.) Typically, you want to go for something sensual with a beat that you can grind to. That’s why R&B is often a go-too choice for people getting it on.

While you’re probably not listening too intently to the lyrics of a song during sex, it can be a bonus if the song is about sex or a relationship—topics that speak to passionate lovemaking. It can be weird to have moments when you tune in to the lyrics and the artist is singing about a parent passing away. If that doesn't kill the mood, I don’t know what does.

If you don’t have a go-to sex playlist (or your partner’s called you out for playing the same album every damn time), it’s time to get some new, sexy music that’s guaranteed to put you and your partner in the mood. Here’s a list of songs the team at Men’s Health came up with to help you bump and grind all night long.
