To set the mood in the bedroom, you\u2019ll need bangers on queue \u2013 but most people are choosing the wrong tunes, researchers say. Here\u2019s what songs you should \u2013 and shouldn\u2019t \u2013 be lining up on the playlist.<\/p>\n

Experts analysed current pop playlists on Spotify with keywords like \u201cromance,\u201d \u201csexy,\u201d \u201csensual\u201d and \u201cintimate\u201d to determine which strictly sensual songs<\/a> meet the desired tempo for sex, which has been determined by science to be 119 beats per minute.<\/p>\n

Turns out, we\u2019re way off the mark, according to the pros at Dating Scout, who have revealed some of the worst offenders \u2013 a long list of accidentally unsexy shame<\/a> topped off by (ironically) Jeremih\u2019s Birthday Sex<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The tune from the R&B crooner, registering at 60 BPM, was ranked as the worst song to be playing while trying to do the deed, despite it appearing in approximately 121 playlists.<\/p>\n

Other popular tracks like I Wanna Be Yours<\/em> by the Arctic Monkeys and Get You (ft. Kali Uchis)<\/em>\u00a0by Daniel Caesar also ranked poorly.<\/p>\n

Multiple songs by The Weeknd were discovered to have low BPMs, such as High for This<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Despite the sexually charged lyrics, the tune has a tempo of 75 BPM \u2013 making it ineligible according to the pros, who were disheartened to find it on 146 boudoir-ready playlists, 31 of which had the word \u201csex\u201d in the title, per the study.<\/p>\n

Rihanna also had multiple tracks that were deemed unsuitable for the bedroom, like Needed Me<\/em> and Sex With Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best tracks to get down and dirty<\/h2>\n

Researchers also analysed the best songs in the Billboard Hot 100 to have sex to \u2013 and a tune by Post Malone came out on top.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The track, Pour Me A Drink (ft. Blake Shelton)<\/em>, has a tempo of 119 BPM, making it the ideal song for knocking boots. Meanwhile, chart-topping hits like Misses<\/em> by Dominic Fike, with a tempo of 119.9 BPM, and Brand New Dance<\/em> by Eminem, with a tempo of 120 BPM, were runner-ups.<\/p>\n

Past research has suggested the best songs to turn on when you want to last longer in the bedroom, with hip-hop lovers averaging a time of 31.5 minutes.<\/p>\n
