The discussion that comes moments before, or even during sex, usually consists of random pauses, which are filled with awkward silences – especially if it's the first time you and your partner are locking lips.
Music helps to ease tension and set a comfortable atmosphere. When you realize you have nothing left to talk about with your partner, there is something in the air other than the sound of self-conscious breathing and nervous hearts pounding.
"I think [music's] great to cover up the noise from roommates or parents," said Dave Eisenberg, a senior marketing major. "It also helps set the mood."
If you're sane, you probably don't want your entire household to know what's going on behind your closed doors – especially because whoever constructed the thin walls in the dorms and many off-campus houses didn't put sexual moans into consideration.
If others are trying to sleep or study while you're in the middle of plugging your iPod cord into her speaker, bump up the tunes so no one hears the emitting sounds.
Boys, I know that more often than not you tend to mess up situations that have potential to be good. Here are some words of advice before attempting to play music while you're thrusting away.
If you want music playing during sex, turn it on before the girl arrives or before you make any moves.
If you start kissing and fooling around, and then pause to turn on your iTunes, not only is it cheesy and awkward, technical difficulties can occur. You'll be left frustrated with your computer and she'll be left thinking about the funniest possible way to tell her friends this story the next day.
Make a sex playlist so that your "little sister's" Britney Spears' song doesn't ruin the mood. Not only is it embarrassing to you (because there's no way she believes it's your little sister's music), but also it's embarrassing for the girl that has her legs spread open.
Choosing the songs for your playlist among all of the different genres can be challenging.
House music is amazing to listen to while doing the dirty, considering the speed build up and drops in the beat, according to Jesse Matarese, a senior psychology major.
Also, the song Crash by Dave Mathews made it onto the "Top 10 Best Songs to Play While Having Sex," an article written by David Kaminsky. It also appeared in Cosmopolitan's list of best songs to listen to while getting it in.
Music during sex is highly recommended according to an article by Maura Kelly "Is Music Good or Bad During Sex?" Music can make a girl more rowdy, energetic, and sexy, according to Kelly. The sexier a person feels the sexier she can make her lover feel, and the sexier the act as a whole becomes.
Music during sex may not be for everyone. Sometimes it isn't needed as a distraction or filler. To some, the sound of a girl having an orgasm is more than enough to keep the sex sizzling like bacon on a frying pan.
Some girls simply find it weird and confusing.
Give it a try and see what happens. Your greatest fantasies could come true or you could lose the girl you brought home. Either way, it's worth giving music a shot.
Just be safe, be smart, and be sexual, and hopefully everything else will fall into place.
