Socks off. Wrapped. Plugged. Pegged. However you prefer your pillow affairs (or maybe pillowless entirely if that\u2019s your thing), we can all agree on one simple truth: the soundtrack for the deed can greatly affect the mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Whether it be the muffled sounds of shrill karaoke cries bleeding into a single stall bathroom while you<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/music\/dallas-bar-restroom-sex-breaks-sink-at-charlies-star-lounge-18981838\/\"> freak in the sink<\/a>, complete silence ruptured only by the sounds of skin-to-skin contact or uncomfortably high-pitched whimpers you wish were muted by literally anything else, sex is never completely quiet. A large number of people have designated playlists for the action; we can\u2019t blame them for providing some background noise.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many playlists with \u201csex\u201d in the title that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.supplementplace.co.uk\/sensual-songs\/\">data scientists have analyzed them<\/a>, determining which artists\u2019 music doubles as sonic lube. An obvious top, pun intended, is the Weeknd, whose recent hits have set the pace for thousands, if not millions, of thrusts. The Canadian star has replaced the former generation\u2019s Dallas-born <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/music\/dallas-usher-concert-review-american-airlines-past-present-future-tour-20747808\/\">conductor of love, Usher.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right, without Big D, there would be no \u201cCloser,\u201d \u201cNice &amp; Slow\u201d or \u201cYou Make Me Wanna.\u201d There\u2019d probably be fewer unplanned children approaching their mid-20s, too.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the Music newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>But Usher isn\u2019t the only North Texan with music worthy of a spot on your sexiest playlist. We\u2019ve compiled a list of the greatest get-down grooves to come from beneath the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasobserver.com\/location\/reunion-tower-6444342\/\">glow of the Dallas phallus.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoney Bee\u201d by Stevie Ray Vaughn <\/p>\n<p>This probably isn\u2019t the first song you think of when you start adding songs to a playlist titled with an eggplant emoji, but maybe it should be. This Stevie Ray Vaughn classic is filled with euphemisms about the birds and the bees. Who wants the smooth rhythmic rolls of R&amp;B when you can set a much more lively tone with Vaughn\u2019s staccato strums? Or maybe leave it off if you can\u2019t match the pace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKiss Me On My Neck\u201d by Erykah Badu <\/p>\n<p>Slow it down with this quintessential song from the queen of neo-soul, Erykah Badu. This song, from the 2000 album \u201cMama\u2019s Gun\u201d, is about the desire for a sensual and spontaneous affair after a very long dry spell. We get it because we\u2019ve also dated in Dallas. It happens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s Get Drunk &amp; Get It On\u201d by the Old 97\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol isn\u2019t just a social lubricant. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cComing Home\u201d by Leon Bridges<\/p>\n<p>The entirety of North Texas can be connected by six degrees of separation based solely on people who claim to know Leon Bridges. Throw a rock, and you\u2019ll hit someone who has allegedly made love-struck eye contact with Bridges from across a Bishop Arts bar. We\u2019re willing to entertain that delusion, because the guy who makes songs like these would easily have our pants charmed off too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFeel\u201d by Post Malone and Khelani<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFeel\u201d from Post Malone\u2019s freshman album (you know, when he still had the braids) is one of the most underrated songs in his discography. This track is sensual and slow, and we\u2019d even argue it fits right between any of Usher\u2019s songs. Kehlani\u2019s velvety vocals offer up the balanced contrast to Posty\u2019s early flow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cact iv: fckin u (again)\u201d by 4batz ft. Usher<\/p>\n<p>4batz has become one of the fastest-rising artists out of Dallas in the last few years, and his song \u201cact iv: fckin u\u201d might be the greatest new addition to sex playlists. The best part? He\u2019s teamed up with Usher, so forget what we said; he still reigns as the love-making icon of the 21st century. As you could probably guess from the title, he gets straight to the point on this one. We\u2019ll leave you with our favorite lyric: \u201cI\u2019m getting you wetter than windshields.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSmall Talk\u201d by Sarah Jaffe<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re the type to prefer a quickie, Denton\u2019s Sarah Jaffe has bestowed you with an anthem. From her 2019 album \u201cSmut\u201d (need we even say more?), this funk-meets-synth-pop track gets right after it as Jaffe sings, \u201cLemme whisper in your ear girl\/I know what I like\/I don\u2019t wanna wait.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteam\u201d by Leon Bridges<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he\u2019s on here twice, because why wouldn\u2019t the artist who has been dubbed this generation\u2019s heir to Marvin Gaye\u2019s vocal sensuality be?  \u201cSteam\u201d is a rich, mid-tempo R&amp;B cut, and if you follow the Fort Worth crooner\u2019s guidance on it, you\u2019ll surely \u201crock all night.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The sweet sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughn sure beat the turn of a creaky bed.
