How to Set a Sultry Mood with Music
When your favorite song comes on the radio, do you ever turn it down? Of course not! You likely turn it up and you instantly feel happy. Music has so much influence over our emotions. It can make us feel nostalgic, ready to dance into the night, feel romantic and sentimental, or even ready to get it on.
According to neuropsychologist, Dr. Rhonda Freeman, music releases dopamine which is the same chemical that sex releases. Coincidence? Absolutely not!
Continued in the linked Psychology Today article, Dr. David Wahl further expands on nine different ways music can improve sex, one of those being letting your inhibitions go.
How many times has your favorite song come on and you fully embrace the saying “dance as if no one’s watching” even though you’re in a room filled with hundreds of people? Or maybe a super sultry jam comes on and all of a sudden it’s like you’re auditioning for Striptease the Sequal. We all feel this with music and it’s time we start embracing it when it comes to sex!
Another point he makes is that music helps you develop an emotional connection with your partner. Who doesn’t want that? Sign us up!
Types of Music
It seems like most songs are about love and sex but there’s a big difference between the two. For example, if you’re feeling warm and romantic, you might play Etta James’ “A Sunday Kinda Love” for that soulful rhythm rather than Michael Jackson’s dance-worthy “Remember the Time”. Both are about love but different rhythms lead to different emotions.
On the naughtier end, if you want a raunchy night, you’ll probably put Cardi B’s “WAP” on before you play Jessica Simpson’s “Irresistible”. Again, both about sex but not created equal.
Gear Up
Creating your own playlists can be done in a quick snap. Just head over to Apple iTunes, Google Music, Spotify, or Pandora and select your favorite songs. Don’t forget to give your playlist a sexy title so you know exactly what to play in the moment.
Before you hit play, take into consideration what device you want to play your list from. You can link it to your Alexa, Echo, or other wireless speaker. Or if none of those is an option, you can play it directly from your smartphone or tablet. If you’ll be in water, be careful about placement. Keep it close enough to where it can be easily reached but not so close it could fall in the water. No one wants a water-damaged device (or fear of electrocution!) to kill the mood.
Done-for-You Playlists
If creating your own playlists and scrolling through thousands of songs sounds exhausting, then don’t worry. We’ve done all the work for you. In our Naked Date Night Gift Set, we have curated three different (very different) playlists for you: Sweet Romance, Desire & Seduction, and Wham Bam.
Each has been meticulously crafted to set whatever vibe you want to create. Plus the gift set also includes Couple’s Bubble, For Play Massage Creme for Couples, Intimacy Serum, a black soy wax candle + matches and chocolate. Between the playlists and all these goodies, you’re sure to have a wonderfully seductive and satisfying night.
The Sweet Romance Playlist is perfect for getting the night started. You finished dinner or you just got home from a long day at work and are ready to exhale, relax and ease in. Your partner is there with a loving embrace (bonus points if he also is there with a glass of wine!). It’s time to kick off your heels, along with the rest of your clothes.
Once you’ve moved on from the bath and are ready to turn the heat up, just a quick tap takes you to the Desire & Seduction Playlist which is perfect for heating it up. Let the lyrics do the talking for you! I don’t think there will be any confusion for your partner about what you’re suggesting when listening to Peggy Lee’s “Fever.”
“You give me fever,
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the mornin’
A fever all through the night”
If you are in a down and dirty mood, switch on the Wham Bam playlist and…well, get ready for some animalistic loving. Be sure to have your Beloved Intimacy Serum close by!
Of course, if starting and stopping playlists interrupts your flow, just pick one for the night! Maybe you want to feel the love and closeness all night with the Sweet Romance or you want to skip the small talk and feel like a sexy powerful temptress right from the start with the Wham Bam playlist. No matter what you choose, you’re sure to release all the dopamine with the Naked Date Night playlists.
