Congratulations — you got the hard part out of the way. You asked him out, prepped your butthole, and made it through the first date. Now it’s time for the moment you’ve both been waiting for. So grab some lube, turn down the lights, and get ready to get down with 69 of the sexiest sex songs.

1. "Birthday Sex" — Jeremih

Some of the best songs to have sex to are — drumroll, please — songs about sex. Your birthday may come just once a year, but you can cum every day to music like this.

2. “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” — The Weeknd

If it’s hot enough for the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack, it’s hot enough for us.

3. “Untitled (How Does it Feel)” — D’Angelo

This one shows off D’Angelo’s incredible vocal range, but it was the sensual music video that solidified his sex symbol status.

4. "PILLOWTALK" — ZAYN

X factor? More like XXX. We could listen to this British hottie whisper sweet, sexy nothings in our ear all night long.

5. "I Don’t Wanna Live Forever" — ZAYN, Taylor Swift

Zaddy Zayn teams up with Miss Americana for the forbidden romance anthem that was hot enough for Fifty Shades Darker.

6. “I Feel It Coming (feat. Daft Punk)” — The Weeknd

We feel it too.

7. "Rocket" — Beyoncé

Beyoncé's otherworldly voice makes “Rocket” one of the best sex songs on the planet.

8. "Sexual Healing" — Marvin Gaye

For a more modern version from another total babe, give Ben Harper’s rendition a spin in the bedroom.

9. "She" — Harry Styles

Harry’s gotten hate for queerbaiting, but we think his dismissal of labels is just a sign of the times.

10. “Love Galore (feat. Travis Scott)” — SZA

“Love Galore” pairs a smooth, slow-burning rhythm with sensual lyrics and SZA’s ethereal voice for the perfect ode to that all-too-familiar feeling of lusty desire.

11. "Wants and Needs (feat. Lil Baby)" — Drake

We love a king with communication skills, and Drake knows how to tell us exactly what he’s after.

12. “Vixen” — Miguel

Miguel offers up a sensual slow jam to heighten your lover’s senses as you caress their skin.

13. "Gorilla" — Bruno Mars

Let out your wild side! In Bruno’s world, the chest-pounding gorilla is the undisputed king of the jungle.

14. “Versace On the Floor” — Bruno Mars

White gold is cool and all, but something about the shimmer and shine of Versace really gets our mouths watering.

15. “I’ll Make Love to You” — Boyz II Men

1994’s steamiest sex song still holds up nearly three decades later.

16. "Lollipop (feat. Static)" — Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne, show us what that mouth do.

17. "WAP (feat. Megan Thee Stallion)" — Cardi B 

Whether it’s a pussy or bussy you’re working with, these powerful queens know how to get you wet.

Dua's smoky vocals will send shivers down your spine.

20. "positions" — Ariana Grande

Looking for a sex song for every day of the week? You can make a lotta love on a Monday to “positions.”

Who says kissing booboos is just for kids? If you’ve got an ache, Rihanna’s lips will fix you right up.

22. “Speechless” — Beyoncé

“Waited for you to use the key that opens my place.” We bet Jay-Z knows how to hit that lock just right.

23. "Dress" — Taylor Swift

Don’t let her squeaky-clean exterior fool you. Taylor Swift knows how to get down.

24. “Body Party” — Ciara

“My body is your party, baby. Nobody’s invited but you, baby.” Sing it, queen.

25. “Good for You (feat. A$AP Rocky)” — Selena Gomez

True beauty comes from the inside. And true hotness comes from a skin-tight fit.

26. “Breakfast” — Dove Cameron 

Need some background music for your morning romp? Dove Cameron knows what it’s like to eat boys for breakfast.

27. "Cola" — Lana Del Rey

We’re not sure a Pepsi-flavored pussy is OB/GYN-approved, but at least this song is sizzling hot.

28. "Love to Love You Baby" — Donna Summer

When the Queen of Disco released this sultry song in 1975, the BBC thought its explicit lyrics were risqué enough to ban it. Lighten up, Brits!

A samba-inspired song about letting your body do the talking.

30. "Your Body" — Christina Aguilera

This song will have all the blood rushing to your cheeks (among other places).

This one’s been inspiring wardrobe “malfunctions” since its release in the ’90s.

32. "I Want You" — Janet Jackson

This seductive hit from 2004’s Damita Jo combines smooth R&B rhythms with Janet's sensual vocal stylings.

33. “Adorn” — Miguel

Partitions separate, but this electrifyingly seductive track from Queen Bey has a beat sultry enough to knock down every wall.

35. "Crazy in Love (feat. JAY Z)" — Beyoncé

A little bit hip-hop, a little bit R&B, this hit from the music world’s hottest couple earned two Grammy Awards and gave us the famous "uh-oh" dance.

36. "SexyBack (feat. Timbaland)" — Justin Timberlake

We’ve known JT was a sex pot since the days of his platinum perm. Then he gave us “SexyBack” (from an album called FutureSex/LoveSounds, no less), a raunchy dance track that spent seven weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

37. "Promiscuous (feat. Timbaland)" — Nelly Furtado

Nelly Furtado didn’t fly away like a bird from Timbaland for this flirtatious track.

The passion in Chris Isaak’s lyrics will have you fanning yourself. Into electronica? Give Parra for Cuva’s equally sensual version a try.

The Weeknd seems to specialize in songs to have sex to, delivering yet another hit that brims with sexual tension and trippy beats.

51. “Skin” — Rihanna

Sex is all about tension and release, an erotic concept Rihanna nails with the anticipation she builds in every verse and chorus.

52. “Neighbors Know My Name” — Trey Songz

Smoother than a freshly waxed chest on a Friday night.

58. “Orion’s Belt” — Sabrina Claudio feat. Duckwrth

A bit of naughty nostalgia that will take you back to the days of slow dancing in a dimly lit nightclub.

If your body can do half the things Ellie Goulding does with her voice, your partner will be well on his way to ecstasy.

62. “Into You” — Ariana Grande

“A little less conversation and a little more touch my body.” Ari knows what’s up.

With this many appearances on a single sex playlist, it’s pretty obvious both halves of this duo know how to fuck.

This ’90s dream-pop classic is perfect for gazing into each other’s eyes while lying naked on a bearskin rug.
