Sex and songs go so well together! So many songs are about sex and a good playlist can really enhance a night between the sheets! With a mix of genres, eras and artists, feel free to take some inspiration from my sex playlist favourites!

Slide by H.E.R. is a laidback R&B jam with a feature from American rapper YG. It may not be the accompaniment to a ‘grand finale’ moment, but it is an excellent ‘taking your time’ vibe. With the atmosphere from the rhythmic synth and H.E.R.’s gentle, soulful vocals, this piece is definitely worth listening to.

H.E.R. is an African American singer, songwriter and composer who has won several awards for her music. She creates a beautiful blend of R&B, hip-hop and soul. Slide was released in 2019 and has been nominated for a range of awards. It also won a BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Award in 2021. 

The introduction of Slide is YG describing H.E.R. and sets the scene for an empowered female figure to be the main character of this piece. H.E.R. sings the majority of the song and describes hanging out with a gentleman in a fancy car. The lyrics suggest treating yourself and living the highlife but without worrying about what others might say. The question repeated throughout, “when we goin’ slide?” suggests that she wants to spend more time with her companion and is interested in seeing where things go. It’s curious, playful and definitely sultry, and brings those qualities to life with the catchy melody and beat.

The featured verse from YG is one of my favourite rap features since it complements and balances H.E.R.s vocals & style so well. It opens with “I need a bae-cation” which is just adorable. ‘Bitch’ can be positive or negative but the next line always makes me giggle; “I need my bitch in an apron, booty all out cookin’ bacon.” It’s cute, suggestive and helps remind listeners to have some genuine fun even when things are getting steamy.

There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ when it comes to what songs should be in your sex playlist. What really matters is how it makes you feel; sexy, confident, seductive or just straight-up horny! If you feel like trying out a few songs with someone, check out the babes available here!

Alongside the infamous bra hooks, women’s buttons are one of the challenges eager men face when it comes to undressing their partner. While it may not seem obvious at first, women’s clothing usually has buttons on the left; the opposite of the typical men’s shirt! It’s not just there as a challenge during foreplay, but the reason is quite bizarre.

Buttons started out as mostly decorative since most clothing had laces, straps or ties. They started appearing in the 13th century and were popular in mens clothing. Men’s clothing was less likely to require lacing compared to women’s dresses and corsets. Given that most people are right-handed, having buttons on the right side was logical.

It was several hundred years before women’s clothing began to incorporate buttons regularly. Most women’s clothing had laces, like corsets or shoulder straps like pinafores. Upper-class women often wore layered clothing; like undergarments, chemises, corsets and blouses. As such, they often had maids who helped them dress. When buttons became popular amongst the wealthy, they were placed on the left side for women’s clothing. This was under the assumption that most maids were right-hand dominant.

Even as buttons became part of normal dress and maids were less common, the tradition and expectation for women’s clothing to have them on the left side persisted. In the present day, placement isn’t as important as back then. While having the buttons on the right side may be easier, most women have been buttoning up shirts on the left side since school so are well-practised.

One benefit of this button debacle is that it’s even easier for you to undress your lucky lady. Plus, we get to show off our ambidextrous unbuttoning skills if you let us undress you too! What do you say, fancy an unbuttoning competition?
