Everyone knows music can set the mood, but lyrics aren’t just for singing along — they’re loaded with sex tips from the world’s sauciest stars. Whether you’re looking for a new move, a fresh way to blow your lover’s mind, or just some cheeky inspiration, these sexy songs double as the filthiest how-to manual ever written.
Here, Scarlet dissects the world’s hottest songs to reveal their hidden bedroom brilliance — and, of course, we’ve linked to the tracks so you can put them straight on your seduction playlist.
‘Take me in / Let me out / Don’t even need to touch me / Baby just breathe on me’ – Breathe On Me, Britney Spears
Musical notes: In this song Britney describes how blowing gently on the skin can have greater impact than actually touching it, particularly if your partner is blindfolded. The barely-there sensation is a knee-trembling tease, and can be intensified by blowing onto the skin through a straw; stock up the next time you’re in McDonalds – they might even give you an A-level in seduction.
‘Boy don’t you make me wait / Now you better give me a little taste / Put your icing on my cake’ – Nasty Naughty Boy, Christina Aguilera
Musical notes: Dirrty singer Christina has always been one to speak openly about sex, and this song, which refers to having a lover ejaculate over her face, is no exception. “Women often complain that men aren’t enthusiastic enough about going down on women, but just as many women have an issue with male emissions,” says love doctor Sam van Rood . “The tip from Christina here is a good one – she’s showing total acceptance of sperm, which will allow a man to enjoy receiving oral sex from her.”
‘Hit me with your rhythm stick’ – Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick, Ian Dury & The Blockheads
Musical notes: Ian Dury was obviously a fan of this little trick, so much so that he had to tell us all about it. Having your man gently but firmly tap the head of his cock against your face/arse/ (insert preferred body part her)] will bring blood to the tissue and therefore help him to get hard. Simple, yet very effective.
‘You make me wanna la la in the kitchen on the floor / I’ll be your French maid when I meet you at the door’ – La La, Ashlee Simpson
Musical notes: The younger Simpson sister gives us some advice on how to fulfil your fantasies. Don’t sit at home, whining to a friend about how you “just wish he could be more spontaneous sometimes”. Do instigate your fantasy session by surprising him with suitable props. If you want to be dominated, dress up like a schoolgirl or a sex slave; if you want to try pony play, saddle up. Good things may come to those who wait, but kinky things happen to women who instigate. For a range of adult fantasy costumes see SparklingStrawberry.com.
‘You gotta push the good vibe on if you really wanna feel it’ – Slam Dunk Da Funk, Five
Musical notes: “Not all women get off on penetration,” says vibe expert Monique Carty of Equom Novelties . “In fact for some, it doesn’t feel like anything much at all. This is because of the positioning of the clitoris, where your greatest concentration of nerve endings can be found – if it isn’t being stimulated, it’s hard to feel sexy. However, once you apply a vibrator to it, the entire genital area becomes more sensitised and you may start to appreciate a feeling of having him inside you at the same time, and he will instantly respond to your vaginal contractions as your climax approaches.”
‘Not on your bed / Lay me on the sofa… Go downtown and eat it like a vulture’ – Work It, Missy Elliot
Musical notes: Missy Elliot must have cottoned on that men are more likely to suffer neck ache when administering oral in bed; it’s far more comfortable for him to sit between your legs as you perch on the edge of the sofa, one foot on the floor, the other on the arm of the sofa. This way he can, er, ‘eat it like a vulture’ for much longer.”
‘It’s the real deal, electric feel / Trip your pulse, your heart beats faster / Ask yourself how long you can last / Just plug in, then fade out’ – Machine Love, Genitorturers
Musical notes: We assume Genitorturers were thinking about the Hitachi Magic Wand when they came up with this fitting ode. The wand unfalteringly vibrates with the power of a washing machine on full spin until you can take no more – in Scarlet Towers the record is under two minutes – we invite you to beat it.
‘Not on your bed / Lay me on your sofa… Go downtown and eat it like a vulture’ – Work It, Missy Elliott
Musical notes: Missy Elliott must have cottoned on that men are more likely to suffer neck ache when administering oral in bed; it’s far more comfortable for him to sit between your legs as you perch on the edge of the sofa, one foot on the floor, the other on the arm of the sofa. This way he can, er, ‘eat it like a vulture’ for much longer.
‘Let me hear you scream if you want some more / Like aaah / Push it / Push it’ – Perfect (Exceeder), Mason VS Princess Superstar
Musical notes: Musical notes: Princess Superstar has the perfect solution for sexy women too shy to speak during sex. Simply ramp up your groans when he’s good, and switch down the volume when he strays off target. Eventually you can develop your ‘argh’ into ‘ah yes’ and before you know it, you’ll be using full sentences to express what you want in the sack. If making any sort of mid-coitus commotion fills you with dread, don’t beat yourself up over it – we’re often conditioned to be quiet during sex from an early age when we’re doing it in our parents’ house when we shouldn’t be. You can undo this conditioning by starting to be a little more vocal during solo sex sessions. With no one else there you can relax and get used to the sound of your own sex voice. It’ll seem silly at first, and then horny, and then it’ll become second nature.
‘I just wanna do it to you baby watch me go / I wanna give you combinations…’ – Watch Me Go, Girls Aloud
Musical notes: ‘Combinations’ are a delicacy of the sex world. They involve giving a lover more than one source of stimulation at the same time; anal and oral; nipples and clit; head and perineum – you decide. Once mastered, move up to three sources of stimulation. The trick to making this easier is to employ the services of a toy. For example, you can plug his bottom with a vibrating butt plug, and then give him a blow-job while tweaking his nipples. Alternatively you can attach nipple clamps to his chest and then finger his bottom while circling the head of his cock with your tongue.
‘You see these shackles baby I’m your slave / I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave’ – Sexyback, Justin Timberlake
Musical notes: Justin obviously likes it rough. Maybe your man will too. Try spanking his bottom, then stroking it with a gloved hand or feather; alternate between pleasure and pain, increasing the strength of your slaps each time until he says to stop. If screaming, “stop, please, stop” and being ignored adds to his fantasy, use a pre-agreed safe word (such as ‘scarlet’) to halt proceedings instead. Bonus tip: order him to masturbate while you spank – the more aroused he feels, the more likely he is to enjoy his punishment.
