Aural Sex
May 10, 2005 | Category: Group sex, Music and Sounds, Sexblogs
If music be the food of love … then put the Barry White CD on and unzip me!
Actually, if truth be told, Barry White is not what I’d consider ideal background music for a sensual evening. His songs of lurve are just a little too hackneyed for my taste. It’s as though what he wanted most from pouring his gravelled tones into the studio mike was to hear the world say, “Isn’t Barry’s music soooo sexy?”
Please, don’t take offence if a little Barry oozing from your speakers is the perfect soundtrack for a night of loving. If we all liked the same music – hell, the same anything – this would be a dull old rock. I just prefer my sexy music to be … well, to be a little less obviously sexy.
Confession. I’m not musically minded. I don’t play an instrument, not even the comb/tissue paper combo. I can just about hold a note in a karaoke bar, provided my throat and my inhibitions have been suitably lubricated with Jack D first. Therefore, I’m neither qualified nor equipped to define what ingredients make a song especially sensual or sexual. I only know which songs evoke those feelings in me. They can be slow or fast, quiet or strident, lyrical or instrumental. I just know when I hear something that speaks to me of the flesh.
The other thing that’s always bothered me about sensual/sexual music is that I’ve yet to listen to a really first class compilation album of inspirationally dirty tracks. The allegedly sensual/sexual compilations I’ve heard (so far) seem better suited to romantic dinners and candlelit baths, not to providing rousing backing tracks for giving the mattress/staircase/dining table/wardrobe a serious workout. And the songs the compilers chose are always so damned similar. VARIETY PLEASE!!!
That’s not to say there aren’t such compilations out there – titles and Amazon codes on a postcard, please – but my CD laser hasn’t touched any of them yet.
So when faced with having to create an inspirational ambience for our first meeting, I came to the conclusion that if I wanted the ideal compilation, I’d have to create it myself.
Here are the eighteen tracks I selected in the end:
Lily Was Here ….… David A Stewart with Candy Dulfer
Will You? ….… Hazel O’Connor
Do Ya Feel ….… Right Said FredLove Is Blindness ….… U2
The Experience of Love ….… Eric Serra
Fall At Your Feet ….… Crowded HouseThis Big Hush ….… Shriekback
Wicked Game ….… Chris Isaak
In The Air Tonight ….… Phil CollinsLove Is The Drug ….… Roxy Music
Call Me ….… Blondie
Face To Face ….… Siouxsie and the BansheesGoodbye Horses ….… Q Lazzarus
Black Velvet ….… Alanah Miles
What Is Love? ….… Howard JonesHere Comes The Rain Again ….… Eurythmics
Not to everyone’s tastes, I’m sure. I certainly wouldn’t try to pass it off as perfect. But the tracks pushed those buttons in my head, and from the reactions of the other three people present during its first run-through, it seemed to have the desired effect.
I created a few other sensual CD compilations for subsequent meetings, but the lack of a multi-disc player made changing discs a frustrating experience. The purchase of an iPod put an end to all that though. Its combination of definable play lists and seemingly limitless capacity has rendered CDs limited to a mere seventeen or eighteen tracks pointless.
Nevertheless, the search for the ultimate soundtrack to an evening of sex and sensuality continues.
And Barry still ain’t on it!

Things to See
Things people said....
"...happens to be the best erotic blog out there, you will not find a higher quality erotic sex blog."Uncool
"...perhaps the best male erotica writer in the blogosphere."
Polyamorously Perverse
"...finally a male erotic author who knows how to describe nuances of sight, sound, smell, texture, who knows how to build up a story, build up tension and who finds all the right words at the right time. And finally an author who can balance so very well along the fine tightrope between erotic writing, plain smut, romance and sensuality..."

Speak Sexy
"EA has a wonderfully sensual quality in his writings (the sexy beast of a man, grrr!) totally unique in that he somehow balances the sexually provocative flavour of his writing style, fluid and deliciously exploratory, with intelligent phrasing, selective word choice, even his pacing is remarkably concise. Rather well done we think."
We Were Wolf
"Oh, dear sweet mercy! I read this over, and over, and over again... dirty, little wench that I am. And did I use it to my own sweet satisfaction? Did I read it until I was drenched in my own desire and trembling? Did I enjoy the imagery and fantasize we were the characters to maximize my breathtaking climax? Hmmm...*smile*, if you have to ask, sweets, then you really don't know me..."
Jen Raine
"'Easily Aroused' has a wonderful way with words ... So sensual, so arousing ... Left me breathless..."

I agree that the stereotypical ’sexy’ music isn’t really that sexy. For example, Simply Red were meant to be sexy, but I don’t think they were! I have to admit though, I do enjoy ‘Sexual Healing’ by Marvin Gaye, and when I was a school girl back in the early ’90s, I quite enjoyed the dirty version of ‘Me So Horny’ by 2 Live Crew. I had a filthy imagination back then. Oh, well, some things never change!
Hold onto that filthy imagination, Eve - it’ll serve you well. And thanks for adding a comment to this rather forlorn post. Once upon a time there were other comments, but that was before my blogging host went and crashed and lost them all. Ah well. At least it taught me the value of making daily backups…

not sure if Latin music does anything for you… Ricky Martin’s music would have to fall into the sensual category for me .. from his Life album - Track 6..”I am” and Track 9 “This is good” would be my more raunchy favourites. Life
I can appreciate why anyone would feel Latino music sets a sensual mood…

ooh yesss… Wicked Game.. if not for the song, then for the most sexy video ever!
I don’t recall having seen the video. Looks like you’re responsible for sending me scampering off to YouTube, Merry…

You’re welcome. I have to say, music evokes such powerful feelings in me, and if it has really filthy lyrics, deep bass-lines and beats, well, let’s just say, it ‘does the job’ for me! There’s just something about the vibrations in the rhythms, combined with the ‘talking dirty’ lyrics…My favourite tracks include ‘My Neck My Back’ by Khia, ‘Physical Attraction’ by Madonna and ‘AYO Technology’ by 50 Cent.
I’m going to have to download those and have a listen for myself, Eve. Thanks for the tips…

I detest obviously “sexy” songs like Barry White’s or even Marvin Gaye’s. It is only appealing when the song is not really about sex but it still very much is, so the both of us are thinking about it under the surface. That’s why tunes like Black Velvet do so phenomenally. Personally, I think the opening guitar on Led Zep’s “Since I’ve been loving you” screams slow, beautiful sex. Try also Ali Farka Toure. Ai Du, for one, is fantastic.
I’ll be sure to sample your recommendations. Thank you…
