Some songs just ooze (vanilla) sex. Then there are those that scream unadulterated kink! Writer Abi Brown gives us her BDSM music playlist.
Setting the scene with great BDSM music
I have almost a hundred playlists on my Spotify account. They cover any number of bases, and I have at least three playlists related to sex in some way, only one of which is reasonable to play during sex. So without further ado, here are the songs I like to get tied up to.
1. Jace Everett - Bad Things
It's probably the corniest song on this list, and while this track was the theme tune for the hit TV program 'True Blood,' I can't help but be turned on by it regardless. There's something dirty about his voice that I can't quite resist. Furthermore, something about the music itself makes me think of being thrown up against walls.
2. Danzig - Little Whip
Danzig's voice can be a bit of an acquired taste, but I'm fond of this track. Like 'Bad Things,' his gravelly voice alongside a simple, pared-back melody has a compellingly inconsistent tempo and a plethora of rises and falls. The image is what I find appealing. This BDSM music takes a moment of a more extended encounter and crystallizes it into something anyone who has been there can identify within a heartbeat.

3. Magnapop - Hold You Down
This track was a bonus, hidden at the end of Magnapop's 1996 album 'Rubbing Doesn't Help,' and despite its upbeat poppy rhythm, it has a surprisingly large amount of sex appeal. This is BDSM music is as much about a mindfuck as anything physical. I've always liked the idea of the deliberateness of the things a Dominant does.
4. Depeche Mode - In Your Room
While not the most famous kink-focussed Depeche Mode song, this is the BDSM music that can turn me on all by itself. The lyrics look at the actual headspace of submission in a way that isn't all that common. It's about the feeling of being entirely subsumed by someone else who is, for a time, your entire world.
5. She Wants Revenge - Tear You Apart
I discovered this song and the next one on the same day when I was about seventeen years old. I think I might now have loved them so much and for so long that I have conditioned myself to get a bit worked up every time I hear them. Anything with a steady, deep bass beat like this will sound like raw sex to me. It truly is BDSM music. But the hottest thing about this one, in particular, has to be its juxtapositions. It is a very relatable song about a teenage romance until suddenly - bam!
6. VAST - Pretty When You Cry
What did I just say about deep, steady bass beats? God, the drums and guitar in this song make my spine shiver. In many of these songs, the Dominant in this is a lot crueler and more serious than the Dom. This song crawls into a headspace that even BDSM communities don't talk about.
7. Nine Inch Nails - Closer
This song came on once while my then-girlfriend had me in an exceedingly compromising position. As the music played, she leaned forward and whispered into my ear that the first line of the chorus isn't at all the dirtiest part of this song - the second is far, far more filthy. She then proceeded to show me exactly what she meant. I realize this track is a big old BDSM cliche now, but I have never forgotten that moment.
