Why music makes sex better

July 15, 2026 · 51 min

Show notes

On today’s episode, we go in on… what gets us in the mood! Specifically, do we like music on or off during sex, and the scents/smells, and spaces that turn us on. Listen to us debate Greg’s 10-hour sex playlist, what is too distracting in the bedroom and the science behind what gets everyone going!
