Music has the power to transform any moment—from late-night drives to candlelit dinners—and yes, even sex. The right song can turn up the heat, tease the senses, and sync your bodies in a rhythm that feels downright sexy. Whether you like slow and sensual, loud and dirty, or complete silence, sound plays a bigger role in our sex lives than we often realize. That’s why one gay man’s post online hit a chord (pun intended) when he asked: “What music do y’all listen to during sex?” He added, “I always wanted to have sex with Lana Del Rey in the background.”

His confession sparked a wide range of reactions—from romantic to raunchy to downright relatable. Some guys are all about the silence, letting the raw sounds of sex speak for themselves like this gay man who confessed, “I like it silent ’cause I’m pretty verbal with my guy. Lots of dirty talk.”

Another chimed in with blunt honesty: “No music. I want to hear my cheeks clap.” Fair enough.

Others go full DJ mode depending on the mood. One man broke it down with impressive variety: “Kinky: A mix of industrial techno, power noise, punk, and hyperpop. Vanilla: goth rock/post-punk, ambient, indie pop, Beyoncé.”

For many gay men, chill is the name of the game. Smooth background beats help set the vibe without overpowering it: “Usually some pretty chill electronic, stuff like Four Tet, Bicep, Bonobo.”

And then there are those who don’t need a curated playlist—just a little background noise to keep things casual. “I kinda prefer TV over music, it always ends up being in the background naturally anyway and less ‘setting up’ the mood.”

Meanwhile, another guy added: “It’s weird—I used to always have music in the background in college and then one day I just stopped. Now I only put music on if I need to make sure other people don’t hear us.”

But then sometimes, simplicity is king. “I just want to hear moaning.”
