A good soundtrack and the right lighting can quickly take a hookup session from so-so to seriously steamy. By the same token, certain songs have the power to kill the mood in an instant.
To prevent this type of musical misstep, we asked HuffPost readers for their go-to sex songs, and they delivered some saucy suggestions. Below, we created a 40-song Spotify playlist, crowdsourced by our readers with a few of our own selections thrown in, for you and your partner to enjoy.
