Music streaming site Deezer has teamed with sex expert Tracey Cox to discuss the coupling of music and sex. Their “Aphro-Deezer-ac Report’ reveals how Americans use music to enhance their “bedroom flow.”
According to the study, listening to music while having sex improves the experience; with 30% feeling it makes them more aroused and 25% saying it makes sex “better.”
“Music is a powerful, potent aphrodisiac, so I’m not surprised so many Americans find it improves their sexual experiences,” said Cox. “Listening to music causes our brain to flood with dopamine, the pleasure hormone. The same thing happens when we’re getting intimate, so it effectively puts our bodies ‘in the mood.’”
