Background music

I have a question for anybody who can help me out here.

My boyfriend has expressed an interest in adding more ambience to our surroundings (candles, music, etc.), to spice up our sex life. I've got the candles part down, but I'm confused by the music. I'm partially deaf, so I don't really listen to music, as I can't make much sense of it.

What I'd like to know is what songs would make a great soundtrack to sex? My guy's birthday is coming up, and I'd like to make it really special.

I appreciate any advice you guys can give me! Thanks!

it depends what kind of music he's into. some people like mellow music to have sex others like it more funky. for mellow i recommend cocteu twins - heaven or los vegas or dead can dance (although these aren't for everyone). sade, marvin gaye and prince are often popular.

there have been some threads on this previously so maybe you can search for 'music' or 'song' in the search function.

YOU be in charge of creating a romantic SETTING, let HIM figure out the music. It takes TWO to make magic anyway!
