The right soundtrack has the power to elevate sex from good to mind-boggling.
Heres how to achieve the former rather than the latter.
Quite simply, music adds a unique layer of stimulation.
It invites another one of your senses to the party.
Music can help us feel more connected to our bodies, and can make our movement feel more sensual.
Other than that, youre only constrained by how much time you want to spend on this.
If youre feeling inspired, make a playlist for lazy Sunday, post-brunch sex.
Or one for when your irresistible but batshit insane ex bootie calls you.
When it comes to actually playing your playlist, Im an advocate for the shuffle function.

Pretty guitars, melancholy melodies.
Rhye, Junior Boys, and Caribou will slowly bring the heat:
Romantic.
Sade, Sade, Sade.
Do you need anything other than Sade?
Motown Classics, for that lazy Sunday afternoon sex:
80s/90s.
Some oldies but goodies from Fiona Apple and Placebo:
Rock.
Its her mission to take the intimidation out of sex therapy and bring the fun back into the bedroom.
