Sexiest Movie Scene: The Graduate
You’ve just graduated college with no idea what to do. At your party, your family friend asks you to drive her home. When you get there, she offers you a drink, and starts to subtly seduce you. Nervously, you flee upstairs, only to find she’s followed you, stripped down, and has shut the door, telling you she’s “available to you” and asks “Would you like me to seduce you?” This sounds like a fantasy of the average man, and one that Dustin Hoffman got to live in multiple takes on the set of Mike Nichol’s The Graduate, a movie about boy meets girl who‘s the daughter of the woman he‘s been sleeping with. There’s little in this world sexier than a woman who doesn’t care about your worries, she knows what she wants and takes it (Are you listening, honey?). So, to that I say “Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson!”
Songs In The Key Of Sex
Shut off the lights and turn up the stereo. Whether it’s a lover or
someone you barely know, no one likes silent sex. So, please enjoy, give them a
try, but remember: I wouldn’t recommend inappropriate or dangerous sexual acts
to everyone, but they’ve always worked for me.
- I Want You (She’s So Heavy)- The Beatles: A twelve word long song of sheer seduction hides between “Octopus’s Garden” and “Here Comes The Sun”. So what if you don’t have a god damn clue what “She’s so heavy” means. Odds are, neither did they.
- Let’s Stay Together- Al Green: When it comes to songs for sex, sometimes you can’t avoid the staple soul singers. If the person you’re about to have sex with isn’t in the mood after a little of Rev. Green’s styling, they’re not worth the condom.
- Roads- Portishead: Whenever a show on HBO or Showtime uses slow, ambient music to score a sex scene, they’re just wishing they had this song. The song’s laced with R&B beat, 70’s porno guitar, and Beth Gibbon’s trembling vocals that send the right kind of shivers.
- Chan Chan- Buena Vista Social Club Soundtrack: Sure, it’s in another language, and I don’t know what the f*ck they’re talking about. Sex isn’t about words. (Well, sometimes it is, but that kind costs 10 cents a minute.) This song sweats beach fires, Corona, and scantily clad Latin waitresses. If that don’t get you going, see a doctor.
- Pour Some Sugar On Me- Def Leppard: With a drum beat hand-crafted (with only one hand, no less) for the strip club, Joe Elliott and the boys from Def Leppard create a perplexing plea for a good time (Do…do they want to get covered in semen?) They’re “Hot, sticky sweet” and by the end of Phil Collen’s solo, you will be too.
- Let’s Get It On- Marvin Gaye: Sure, it’s the most cliché sex-song ever. But it doesn’t take much to figure out why. This has been the go-to shag song for decades. Hell, you may have been made to this track.
- Whole Lotta Love- Led Zeppelin: The entire album of Led Zeppelin II is designed for planting your Robert, but the opening track has the line “I’m gonna give you every inch of my love.” I need say no more.
- Crash Into Me- Dave Matthews Band: From a man who’s usually singing frenetic verses about whiskey, it’s touching to hear what sounds like a gentle love song out of old DMB. Then you hear him grumble out “Hike up your skirt a little more, and show your world to me.” Admit it, you’re already turned on.
- Justify My Love- Madonna: If phone-sex were set to music, it’d sound like this. Madonna’s never been one to hide the sex in her songs, but never has it been so…sexy. Hell, all the panting she does on this track, it sounds like she may finish first.
- Hallelujah- Jeff Buckley: Forget the crap track from Watchmen. This song is the pen-ultimate song for making love. “Remember when I moved in you, and the holy dove was moving to.” Leonard Cohen wrote about the pain of love, Jeff Buckley sang about the Hallelujah of the orgasm.
