Songs to Strip to That Will Melt Your Clothes Off

Looking to switch things up in the bedroom? There’s no finer way to get to some supercharged foreplay than with a sultry striptease. But what makes for a classic stripping song (besides “Cherry Pie”)? You need something a little more sultry for your Spotify strip club list. Considering 19% of Grindr users say music is their top hobby, it's clear the right track can spice up the mood.

Slip into your good undies and get ready to to show ‘em off with this list of sexy songs (none of which give “straight bachelorette party invading the local gay bar” vibes).

But first, consent

Consent will always be sexier than any little tongue wiggle or booty jiggle you could offer. Just because these are songs to strip to doesn’t mean you have a license to turn wherever you are into a Magic Mike performance. Don't take your clothes off in front of anyone who doesn't explicitly want to see what you're workin’ with, full stop.
