What I listen to to write isn’t necessarily the same as what I listen to on my own time. I have playlists for each story I’m writing. For anyone interested, my complete playlists are on Spotify.

Investing Time:
Music helps develop my male protagonist’s past. He’s a 44yo SWM in NYC, but as a kid he was a overindulged “bad boy” from Bel-Air into pussy, money, weed and hip-hop.

• California Love ~ 2Pac & Dr. Dre
• Under the Bridge ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers
• ”Rex tremendae majestatis” ~ Mozart’s Requiem)
• Pour Some Sugar on Me ~ Def Leopard
• Big Poppa ~ Biggie
• Interstate Love Song ~ STP
• Sweet Child o Mine ~ Guns n Roses
• Nuthin’ but a G Thang ~ Dr. Dre
• ”Pathetique” (Largo) ~ Beethoven

“Spending Dollars” is my next story to post. Some music is leitmotivic, and the rest helps me draft scenes—sex, parties, arguments, travel, internal dialogue, character backgrounds etc.

• Hot Fun in the Summertime ~ Sly & the Family Stone
• scenes from the operas Turandot (Puccini) and Samson et Delila(Saint-Saens)
• XO TOUR Llif3 ~ Lil Uzi Vert
• S.W.I.N.G. ~ Tory Lanez
• California Dreamin’ ~ Mamas & Papas
• Fuckin’ Wit Me ~ Tank
• DNA~ BTS
• No Woman No Cry ~ Bob Marley

 

[Privates1stClass]

I'll go with Hypoxia; Ravel's Bolero is the best baby-making music.

When I'm writing, I prefer Strauss waltzes.

[CoffeeWithMonkeys]

I don't have a baby makin' playlist, when I was baby making many many years ago(ok my youngest is 13 so 14 years ago) we didn't listen to music because my now ex and I had way different taste in music.

When I write I listen to a little bit of everything.
The Beatles are playing now, but I usually just bring up YouTube and pick a playlist it makes for me. System Of A Down, Tool, Steely Dan, Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst, Rush, Pearl Jam, are all usually somewhere on there. If I want happy music I turn to Prince.

If my kids are in here I let them add some songs so that means BTS, Twenty One Pilots, Paul Anka, Black Veil Brides, Palaye Royale, Waterparks, I'm not sure all of what they listen to.

BTS!!!

 

[CoffeeWithMonkeys]

BTS!!!

I try to embrace my kid's likes, try to at least tolerate their music taste, but sadly I can't get into BTS at all. I think it is a language thing. I like to sing along, and I don't understand Korean at all so I can't sing.

But I still add them to my playlist. I want to encourage my kids to not always go with the crowd, to like that they like.

This is the same kid who loves Andy Black and Black Veil Brides and loves to give me trouble that "I've never gotten to see Andy live...".
I try to explain, I'm old so yeah I've seen my favorite band live 31 times and I am grateful for every single show!
She can see her band that many times when she's my age, and can pay for it!

 

[ChloeTzang]

BTS!!!

BlackPink

Ooooooohhhhh yeah!

I just saw BTS a few months ago, screaming and crying and singing along! I speak enough Korean to seem charmingly odd to elderly Koreans, and to understand about 30% of what’s being said in songs lol. I make my Korean friends laugh hysterically.

I became obsessed with Ayumi Hamasaki in middle school after the show Inuyasha first came out in the US. I know I’ll never get to see her 30 times. My parents used to tell me the same you’ve told your daughter about Andy Black, which used to be frustrating but now I’ve been to Japan to see Ayu perform twice!!! One of my besties went to every Beyoncé performance around the world for the Mrs Carter World Tour. For her, it was worth it and she was also on the homepage of the website and met B etc. I ... don’t think I could do that no matter how much I love a band lol.

 

[SyptemberSmyth]

When I write, I need silence. However, when I'm driving around aimlessly thinking of what to write, these songs are the most common ones on my various playlists (not in any particular order):

Breaking Benjamin- Tourniquet, Down, Feed the Wolf, Dance with the Devil... pretty much anything by them if it's an emotional scene
In This Moment- The Promise, Oh Lord, Whore, Sick Like Me
Metallica- The Unforgiven II
Killswitch Engage- Always
Halestorm- Familiar Taste of Poison
Flyleaf- Again
Imogene Heap- Come Here Boy
Gossling- Heart Killer
Halsey- Not Afraid Anymore & Gasoline
Meg Myers- Desire & Lemon Eyes
The Veronicas- In My Blood
Major Lazer ft Ellie Goulding- Powerful
Mia Martinez- Beast
Lostboycrow- Powers
Kito ft Reija Lee- Run for Cover
Tove Lo- Crave & Romantics
Ariana Grande- Dangerous Woman & God is a Woman
Naomi Wild- Howlin
Bebe Rexha- Pray
Adina Howard- Freak Like Me
Sia- Elastic Heart
Shawn Mendes- Stitches & Mercy (acoustic)

IF I had unlimited $ I'd take her to local shows, and maybe to close ones like Chicago which is about a 4-5 hour drive.

I LOVE my band so much! I could see them 31 more times and it would still be an amazing experience at every show.
I'm lucky though and they do a different setlist, different show every night. If it was the same show every night, I might get bored.
I saw them at every US show they did last year, but that was only 7 shows
Again if I had unlimited $ I'd see them in other countries but for now the furthest I've been is either South Carolina or Seattle. Not sure which is farther from me.

My daughter dabbles with Korean on Duolingo, but doesn't keep up with it sadly. I love languages and hope she's works on it again and learns to speak and understand it fluently.

 

[Vix_Giovanni]

BlackPink

Ooooooohhhhh yeah!

BLACKPIIIIIIINK!!!!!

 

[ChloeTzang]

BLACKPIIIIIIINK!!!!!

It’s a K-pop fangroup on Literotica. That’s hilarious - I used to be the one and only. I do like BTS. And Red Velvet, Exo and a few more.

 

[Hypoxia]

I'll go with Hypoxia; Ravel's Bolero is the best baby-making music.

I've recently viewed numerous flash-orchestra videos. Several feature an individual in mufti (street clothes) setting a snare drum in a public place (square, mall, transit center, etc) and playing the bolero tattoo. Then a wind player joins, and a harpist or cellist, and more. And eventually the whole plain-clothed orchestra wanders in and blasts away.

Nude Day contest setup: musicians and bystanders are all naked. Fuck-frenzies ensue in the maddened audience. Maybe blame aphrodisiacs in the air supply.

 

[Handley_Page]

'Your tiny hand is frozen'
from La Boheme.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

That's... impressive...

I probably wouldn't make it halfway through that list... I don't have that much stamina.

Does it include the time for foreplay and aftercare?

Sure, it's only 2.9 hours long. I sometimes spend longer than that on foreplay.

 

[Blind_Justice]

Exile - Kiss you all over

... directly followed by

Exile - How could this go wrong

 

[Misshotndeep]

Motzart- Moonlight Sonata.

 

[Polyacrylate]

When I was younger, I would swear that there was an art and a rhythm to a good Gettin' Busy mixtape/playlist. There had to be a build and a rhythm to it, so as to aid in the seduction. Of course, I'm fairly certain that it made the difference in getting some vs not exactly zero times, but that changes nothing.

Anyway, you don't want to get too romantic or it seems schmaltzy, and too sexual will seem crass. Too mopey or tragic will seem desperate. Too irreverent will become distracting.

Most of my sex playlists are shoegazey and alt-rock and light edm.

Some standouts that we're in most I put together, sorted by artist, include:
Depeche Mode "It's No Good," "Enjoy the Silence"
Jesus and Mary Chain "Just Like Honey," "Between Planets"
Tom Waits, "Heart of Saturday Night," "Shiver me timbers", "Hold On"
Smashing Pumpkins "Suffer," "Shame," "Dreaming"
Eels "In the Yard Behind the Church," "Fresh Feeling"
Lykkie Li "Get Some"
Air "Biological" "Run"
Beatles "Across the Universe"
My Bloody Valentine "Sometimes"
Matthew Good band "Weapon"
Skindive "No More Good Guys"
(sigh) Red Hot Chili Peppers "Scar Tissue"
Massive Attack "Angel"
The Pogues "Love You Till the End"
Garbage "Queer," "Cup of Coffee"

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Then again there is always...

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

or

In A Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly

for makin' babies.

Very nice list! Your lady is lucky.

 

[Hypoxia]

Then again there is always...

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

or

I A Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly

for makin' babies.

17-minute-long In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is what late-night DJs played when they needed a break for sex or digestive I/O. Kashmir was usually under 10 minutes but could be looped as needed. But the best lesson was by Billy Ward and his Dominoes: the seminal Sixty Minute Man.

There'll be fifteen minutes of kissin'
Then you'll holler "Please don't stop" (Don't stop!)
There'll be fifteen minutes of teasin'
Fifteen minutes of squeezin'
And fifteen minutes of blowin' my top​

Get it right, guys.
