Ten tunes to play when you're getting laid

The Taylor Swift Stalker: Taylor Swift - "Love Story"
Taylor Swift has written a crapton of songs about her breakups, but what if you aren't a miserable, skinny billionaire? What if you're happy in love and want to share that love with your partner? Put this song on, fellas. (We're addressing the fellas here, because if you're a lady and play this for your crush, he may file a restraining order.) Chicks, on the other hand, will eat up this sugary-sweet fairytale like Pixy Stix. Just please wear a condom. They come in Swift-friendly colors.

Goths: London After Midnight - "Love You to Death"
This dark and twisty song is perfect for the true goth. It has a Nine Inch Nails flavor that inspires bondage and dirty, kinky sex. It's full of pain, death, tears, fears, etc. -- you know, all that love is. Also, we're not quite certain how comfortable you'll be with seeing "inside" someone, but it seems right up your goth alley.

Dead Heads: The Grateful Dead - "Sugaree"
Dead Heads are all about free love, and "Sugaree" is not only played in Sancho's on a nightly basis, but it's something all true Dead Heads have in their collections. We know you have 400 live versions of this song on your dead-friendly iPods, so pick your favorite. Plus, since this song (live) lasts for about two hours, you can have sex, get high, eat and go for round two all before the second version comes on.

...not a single MoTown reference...

@Cognitive_Dissident If you're a fan of Motown, you don't need any coaching. You've already got mad game and impeccable sensibilities, clearly.

...as "Love's Theme" just happens to stream on my internet radio feed (FM5280.com.)

@dave.herrera @Cognitive_Dissident Yet, I feel like a real "old-timer," in context.

@Cognitive_Dissident Marvin Gaye is godlike. So is Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. Obvious, but totally worthy of mention: the Isley Brothers. I have to think a great many babies were made to "Between the Sheets."

@dave.herrera @Cognitive_Dissident The first thing that came to mind was Marvin Gaye. There's got to be half a dozen good ones right there. Other Barry White, of course. One fun experiment would be to go to youtube and find Marvin, then listen to at all the great stuff from other artists that shows up in the right-hand margin. I pretty much did that, once.

"Let's Stay Together" comes to mind as one of those...bunch of Temptations too. Chilites...there's no end.

@Cognitive_Dissident It's like my old OG player uncle used to say when people asked him how old he was: "I'm old enough to know right from wrong, but far too young to say no." Ah, yes, "Love's Theme." I was just going to ask you what "old-timer's" consider shag worthy?

I would have put The Weeknd's High For This on the list. Damn sexy song.

@tzadik42Pretty much anything by theWeeknd would work. If this were simply sexy songs, I'd add anything by Sade, but particularly "No Ordinary Love," "Til the Cops Come Knocking" by Maxwell, "Feenin' by Jodeci, "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star...oh, so many others.

i was super curious about this list.. and then... Insane Clown Posse?! nothing makes a dick more limp that insane clown posse. in fact, the word "dick" and the name "insane clown posse" shouldn't be in the same sentence .... UNLESS it's "Insane Clown Posse? What are you? some kind of dick?"
