Valentine’s Day is all about the flowers, candy, chocolate, and of course, getting it on! And when I think about getting it on, I think about an amazing playlist. Because life, and sex is obviously better with a playlist. That’s why this Valentine’s Day, we decided to create a list of this year’s best songs to bone to.

1. Isaac Hayes – Walk On By
In my opinion, Black Moses comes through with the number one sexiest song to bone to. His epic 12-minute version of Smokey Robinson’s “Walk On By” has all the hallmarks of a marathon love making session. It starts you off slow and intimately, then takes you through the passionate sounds of sexual chocolate himself, Isaac Hayes, before taking you through a long, steamy musical interlude that will last until next Valentines Day.

2. Nina Simone – Do I Move You
Nina Simone might be one of the absolute sexiest singers in history. You can tell exactly how titillated she was by the tone of her voice and how much she uses her raw sexy power. This song is basically a musical aphrodisiac, and if you put The High Priestess of Soul on this Valentine’s Day, you are almost ensured that the answer will in fact be “Hell Yes.”

3. The Roots – Break You Off
DAMN. If you ever listen to this song in your car, watch out, because the bass line alone will Break You Off. Questlove, BlackThought and crew basically jar each car part from their meticulously engineered position and make them have sex with each other. Listening to this song is like being in a club and listening to a combination of champagne and glitter.

4: Marcia Griffiths – The First Time I Saw Your Face
The deep dub sounds on this jam create an almost overwhelmingly sensual trance. Listening to Marcia Griffiths is like being transported to a towel on a white sandy Jamaican Beach during a sunrise. This Irie-vibe packed version blows Roberta Flack’s Grammy winning version straight out of the Caribbean. This is definitely one to explore if you want to see your partner again, and again.

5. R. Kelly – Echo
Granted R. Kelly might not be the best role model for such a list, but currently he is like the George Gershwin of “getting it on music.” R. Kelly has had is problems in the past but he is a talent that cannot be overlooked when prepping your “Play” list. In fact, most of his songs deal entirely with within the subject matter of Bonin’. He even has a specific section of his catalog that deals exclusively with peeing on people.

6. The Doors – Back Door Man
Jim Morrison was one of the first lead singers to fully embrace the Rock Star fantasy. Girls went crazy for him, and he went crazy in general. The Doors’ cover of an Old Blues Classic features a lot more than just suggestive lyrics and carnal, dog-like barking. Morrison is straight up propositioning you through the speakers.

7. The Velvet Underground – Venus in Furs
Maybe you are into some crazy freaky stuff. Maybe you like zippers, whips, chains and leather, or maybe you just like sitting on Andy Warhol’s face in a bathroom covered in Tinfoil… This Velvet Underground song goes out to the BD/SM community. Whatever floats your boat.

8. Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On
If this song isn’t the standard of lovemaking, then I don’t know what it is. Marvin Gaye was one of the best at setting “The Mood” that there ever was.  If this doesn’t work for you, try “Sexual Healing.”

9. Money Jungle – Rem Blues
So you have just lit the last candle and your trusty old pipe with the same match. You hear the crack of the ice from you glass of brandy across the bedroom. Quickly throwing on your silk robe, you walk over to your turntable and throw on a dusty old record. Once you drop the needle on Money Jungle, the ambiance in complete. There is nothing like having some of the greatest musicians in the History of Jazz cheering you on. If you can’t get it on to Duke Ellington, Charles Minus and Max Roach, you might not have a pulse.

10. The Beatles – I Want You (She’s So Heavy)
A long way from their bubblegum “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” roots, The Fab Four belted out this red-light classic on their magnum opus, “Abbey Road.” It’s one of their most unique songs, not only because it clocks in for over 7 Minutes in Heaven, but because it is unusual for the best song writing team in history to release a song with only 14 words total. (I want you/ So bad/ It’s driving me mad/ Yeah/ Babe/ She’s so heavy)
