The power of music to arrouse is undeniable. Sound engineer Rick says, “A good jam to a sexy beat gets me hard, no shit.†This article in Sexis Magazine focuses on our tendency to think of music as the soundtrack to life – and just how that soundtrack functions in the bedroom.
“The music in the bedroom, or wherever it is the action is taking place, can easily serve as a metronome to the experience, whether the participants are cognizant or not,†says Alice, a triple-degreed psychologist and professor at a prestigious New England university.
Author Cherry Triffle writes of the power of music:
It impacts us on a level that is primal, and often spiritual. It is an undeniable force that can propel you forward with determination, knock you flat like a sucker punch, ease your legs open—or your cock up—like an aural aphrodisiac.
So which songs get you off?
The Dark Room Sex Game is an erotic rhythm game without any visuals, played only by audio and haptic cues using the Nintendo Wiimote controller. A phallic object which also has vibration, the Wiimote is the perfect tool for this game. Players seem to thrust it around, looking not to visuals which are the typical signifiers of Nintendo game play, but instead listening for aural reinforcement. Like Ooohs and Aahhhs. The players work to find a mutual rhythm with their partners and gradually speed up until orgasm.
The team of students at the IT University of Copenhagen who developed the game explain their concept:
Our idea was that a sex game would in fact be even more erotic if one stripped away all visuals and forced players to use their imaginations. Our hope was to use a combination of humor and embarrassment to make players uncomfortable, yet strangely satisfied. One could view the game as a commentary on the dull fixation on visuals in the spheres of sex and also videogames. Or, you can just view it as a cool party game.

We love the sounds of sex, but if, instead of some cheeky eavesdropping, you are faced with a neighbour’s incessant screaming, then aural voyeurism loses its fun. British Woman, Caroline Cartwright, 49, has been in and out of court since 2005 over noise complaints from her raucous lovemaking, filed by disturbed neighbours and even a mailman.
“I did not understand why people asked me to be quiet because to me it is normal,” Cartwright explained at a court appearance.
But according to witnesses, she and her husband Steve, (who notably has not been charged despite his part in it all) have three-hour screaming sessions from midnight to 3 a.m, drowning out Neighbours’ TVs and radios with the noise. That is some loud sex!
“I heard sounds of a sexual nature, they were really loud, and there was a lot of moaning and groaning and screaming as if in pain,” reported neighbour Rachel O’Connor, who made 23 recordings of the couple having sex to be used as evidence in court. Oh, imagine adding those recordings to the SonicErotica podcast!
Cartwright just can’t seem to quieten down. She continues to breach an Anti Social Behaviour Order, which bans her from “making excessive noise” during sex anywhere in Britain. Appearing in court again in July, the judge threatened her with jail time.
In response to her numerous arrests Cartwright has said, “I can’t stop making noise during sex, it’s unnatural to not make any noises, and I don’t think that I’m particularly loud.”
