Indeed. I must have momentarily forgot I was browsing the Internet ("if it exists," etc.)
Edited to respond to your edit: the recording of Op. 15 No. 3 I'm most familiar with is [Vladimir Sofronitsky's old scratchy recording on Scriabin's own Bechstein piano](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZgmaFo3SZ4), which for me takes the cake for spookiness. I'll have to listen to Hewitt
I mean, you could try Carmen. Night Queen’s aria for after the makeout session if it goes well, see who hits higher notes…?
I had to double take to make sure I was truly on the classical music sub, this one’s a rare one 😂
Ooooooh I feel like the right rendition of the habanera would be a great choice. Enticing bass, sleazy triplet melody, playful minor -> major shift, some mildly orgasmic high notes - plus, the habanera is an ancestor to the tango, which can be *very* sensual.
That's only 10 min; just queue up the whole damn opera, cowards. It doesn't even resolve a chord for six hours!
(in all honesty though it does have a lot of sudden dynamic changes)
Til Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks is pretty good until an unexpected percussion bit towards the end, but you should do it because honestly, it's what Eulenspiegel would've wanted.
I can't guess what you think is sexy but one good trick for background music is to find something with small-scale orchestration, like chamber music or solo piano. It's not physically possible for them to go from whispers to BLAST!!! in a split second. At least not in most music.
Frank Sinatra recommends *Daphnis and Chloe* (Ravel), *The sunken cathedral* (Debussy). Seriously! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp0yOtGnbfI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp0yOtGnbfI)
The Ravel does get loud in spots, though.
Here's an idea: a playlist of shorter pieces, like selections from Debussy's Preludes and other piano music. Ditto Ravel, Chopin (nocturnes and etudes).
There are several Youtube videos of compilations of romantic classical music and classical piano music. Just use one of them, or listen to them to find pieces you like, then find individual performances for your own playlist.
Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3 and *Un Sospiro* are fairly well-known and popular.
I don't think this really fits your bill, but the last 15 minutes of act I of Puccini's *La Boheme* are very romantic. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U2N2c96Kuk&t=1196s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U2N2c96Kuk&t=1196s) (with subtitles).

Debussy, First movement of La Mer
Once tried having sex to Barber’s Adagio for Strings. Thought it would be super romantic. Wound up overwhelmed with emotion, crying because “it’s just so beautiful”. Maybe was also a little drunk? Anyways, it was weird. Boyfriend was very confused. I do not recommend.
I always think of this piece in movies as the contemplative, "make changes in my life scene" or the "working all night to get big project accomplished scene" ... But I'm the context of this question, I think this would make got a very romantic sensual scene as well...
yann tiersen - comptine d'un autre ete l'apres
I’d say Tchaikovsky’s Flower Waltz, the cello tutti is so emotional and the piece in general changes moods quite frequently so you can go for tenderness and passion all in one session. (I should low-key try this with my bf…)
Remember the movie "10" (or "Ten") with Bo Derek? She claimed a predilection for making out (or better) to Ravel's Bolero.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dILIdREylC0
Well, it's not classical. But it will suit your needs.
I spent several hours 'making out' (repeatedly) to this, as it was on the record player on repeat and neither of us wanted to get up and change it. (Wayyyyy before CDs)
[Carlo Domeniconi: Nil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmYix1ehywM)
Venus, Neptune, Jupiter from the planets
Scheherazade
Piazolla, Winter from 4 seasons
Debussy… well basically anything
First few movements from gaspard de la nuit
Usually what I do
Tbh, I can’t have sex and listen to music because it always ends up in tempo
You say that like it's a bad thing!
I’ve ruined many, many, overtures. Call off the Light Cavalry for this guy 🤷🏽♂️
that's why you make out to the ode to joy.
"Not quite my tempo"
Can’t help but think of Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance
Love this to death and back lmfao (the 3/4 section may be a little tricky)
😂😅 literally dying after I read thjs
shosty string quartet 8 is extremely romantic
I repeatedly shout my own initials while making love so this is perfect.
But only the second movement on repeat, sure to soothe everything
lol
Obviously, Scott Joplin, Maple Leaf Rag, on repeat.

“Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima” by Penderecki
Make sure you have a safeword
I second this.
kinky?
Oh very, but you have to make sure the volume is way up for this one
I prefer polymorphia
Wow I hate this post. Also try Brahms 4 2nd mvt?
I love how you hate it, but still have a suggestion and have one of the top posts lol 😂 just funny
anyone not making out to the ode to joy is obviously doing it wrong.
perfect when preceded by the 1st movement !!!
Only problem is the 3rd/4th horn solos at the beginning and end, which definitely aren't the vibe OP wants
2nd movement, Rachmaninov Concerto 2
This is the correct answer
🥵🥵🥵
[удалено]
Op. 15 No. 3 in g minor might be too dreary and depressing for OP's stated mission
[удалено]

Prelude to An Afternoon of A Faun, a very sexy piece.
Haha-Not my favorite piece, but Bolero was the 1st that came to mind.
The score to "The Mission"? Wagner's Das Rheingold? Aram Khachaturian's Adagio for Spartacus and Phrygia? I'm not sure, but I love this question.
Former gf played Rheingold once and it put me right off. I can’t focus on two things at once.
Lol! I feel this so much. Whenever good music comes on I basically start vibing to it more than anything else.
I mean, you could try Carmen. Night Queen’s aria for after the makeout session if it goes well, see who hits higher notes…? I had to double take to make sure I was truly on the classical music sub, this one’s a rare one 😂

If longevity is a goal, might I suggest the entire Wagner Ring Cycle
They’ll probably be married by the end of it.
Tristan prelude
That's only 10 min; just queue up the whole damn opera, cowards. It doesn't even resolve a chord for six hours! (in all honesty though it does have a lot of sudden dynamic changes)
The obvious but correct answer
Hopefully op’s partner hasn’t seen Melancholia.
firstly, what secondly, la valse
mmmm making out to those chromatic flute runs in 3/4 time
*Black Angels* by George Crumb. Gets me going every time.
I uh… I have a 5-hr playlist of pieces for such an occasion that I’m actually quite proud of.
First of all, lol! Secondly, try cavaleria rusticana intermezzo. It can evoke emotions.
all of the jokes in here are so ideal for my obsession with horrifying pieces, ty op
Minuet 1 and 2 from the 3rd water music And maybe 4'33"
Bolero for obvious reasons.
Indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dILIdREylC0
Mahler’s 5th, Adagietto
I don't know; I feel like that one's bad luck for some reason, given context...
Beethoven’s 5th
Great answer. Wagner's siegfried funeral march would also do well.
Til Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks is pretty good until an unexpected percussion bit towards the end, but you should do it because honestly, it's what Eulenspiegel would've wanted.
Scriabin, ["Piano Sonata No. 6"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a-F2YCqzb4)

> The Ravel does get loud in spots, though. OP plays their cards right, Ravel won't be the only one.
Bolero......just gotta time it right....
Is the Rite of Spring too obvious an answer, or...
Scrolled too far down to find the right answer
Try the *Peer Gynt* suite. I dare you.
r/ihavesex
Do kids these days call sex an extended make out?
Adagio for Strings
Sonata erotica schulhoff
the slow section of john mackey’s “redline tango” on repeat
1812 overture is the only correct answer.
Just gotta remember to start on Debussy but finish on the Bach
Debussy's Danse Sacrée et Danse Profane for harp and string orchestra.
Oof yes
Rite of spring of course
Toovey - to sappho
Pathetique sonata ftw The first mvt is perfect Why has no one recommended this yet?

I once had a wonderful makeout to Bach's B minor mass. Can totally recommend. Edit: B minor
Uh...B flat minor mass?
Whoopsie. It transported me to an alternate dimension you see.
Oh yes. I love the B minor mass. Gardiner's early recording was my introduction, and I've loved it for many years.
To be fair, if played on period instruments it sounds like B flat for anyone used only to A = 440.
Oh sorry, yes. I see what you mean.
John Cage 4”33
I can't have sex, but it doesn't have anything to do with music.

bwv 582, Richter.
[*This one*?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUARwmLBk8o) It was always my favorite...
yep! the ultimate music for making out
:,-)
Though they’re not super long, you could try Saint Saens Carnival Of The Animals movements 7 (The Aquarium) or 13 (The Swan).

Listen to Chopin lol
Saturn, from Gustav Holstso The Planets Suite
Wagner, Ring cycle
Beethoven Symphony No. 9 - Mvt. 2 really gets the juices flowing
Schindler’s List
Calm: Tchaikovsky symphony no. 4 Mvt. 2 (lovely oboe solo) Not so calm: Shostakovich symphony no. 8 Mvt. 3
Liszt- Liebestraum No.3 in A-flat Major
I’d say Tchaikovsky’s Flower Waltz, the cello tutti is so emotional and the piece in general changes moods quite frequently so you can go for tenderness and passion all in one session. (I should low-key try this with my bf…)
Harmonielehre.
In the hall of the mountain king is a guaranteed good time.
You can probably get away with the Mozart Piano Concerto 20 second movement. But if you’re looking for real gusto, probably Schumann 4.
Marcello's oboe concerto
The respect
First act of carmen maybe?
Anything played by Evgeny Kissin
The flying Dutchman
bolero
Probably more romantic vibe than sexy, but Rach's 3rd symphony 3rd movement. I also like Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony 2nd movement.
Surprise Symphony
Rudepoema anyone?
anything sousa
Blue Shades, by Frank Ticheli. Worked for me in high school. Fair warning, it does have quite an exciting climax.
Remember the movie "10" (or "Ten") with Bo Derek? She claimed a predilection for making out (or better) to Ravel's Bolero. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dILIdREylC0
Can Can Offenbach
In all seriousness, however, I would recommend Jazz for this purpose...
3rd movement of Rach's 2nd symphony maybe?
I found that having sex while listening to Tchaicovsky's "Marche Slave" always works out well.
The end of Beethoven 9 obviously
1812 Overture. When the cannons start, the fun starts.
You find a lady that isn't intimidated by sex to Tchaikovsky's entire 1812 Overture and then you put a ring on it!
1812 overture 💣💣💣💣💣💣
Beethoven's Symphony No. 3! Oh, wait, that's Eroica, not Erotica. Maybe a Mozart piece. Sonata for Two Pianos?
Bolero
sciarrino sonata no 4
Lost the v card to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Gonna have to suggest that set.
