When it comes to parenting, many moms juggling kids all day often find themselves feeling drained by nightfall—leaving little room for romance or intimacy. The thought of engaging in any kind of physical affection can seem like a monumental task. After a long day, we might find ourselves wishing we could trade sleep for a little more “adult time.”

You might have experimented with essential oils or even a glass of wine to spark some desire. Maybe a soothing back rub does the trick for you. Often, it just takes a little nudge to reignite our interest in intimacy. Unlike our partners, who may be ready to go in a snap, we typically need our minds to warm up before our bodies follow suit.
Here’s the exciting part: a study conducted by Sonos in collaboration with neuroscientist Dr. Daniel J. Levitin found that your next intimate encounter could be just a few songs away.
We all have those go-to tracks that help us get through monotonous tasks—whether it’s a long drive, a tough workout, or even a cleaning spree. Music has a unique ability to evoke powerful emotions. Think about how you feel when a song that holds sentimental value plays. Who hasn’t felt invincible jamming to a high-energy Beyoncé track while cooking dinner?
If music can elevate your mood during mundane activities, imagine the excitement it can bring to your romantic life. In a survey of 30,000 participants, an impressive 67% reported having more passionate nights when music was part of the equation. Whether it’s the sultry vibes of “Doin’ It” by LL Cool J for a wild night or the smooth sounds of John Legend for a relaxed evening, the right playlist can create the perfect atmosphere for intimacy.
Listening to music does more than just trigger nostalgia. According to Dr. Levitin, engaging with new tunes activates our brain’s novelty detectors and boosts dopamine levels—the feel-good neurotransmitter that enhances pleasure. And who doesn’t love a good reward? Especially when it involves multiple orgasms!
But don’t reserve your music playlist solely for steamy moments. Incorporating music into your daily routine can uplift your mood and strengthen family bonds. The study revealed that households that enjoyed music together spent an extra 3 hours and 13 minutes a week bonding. Bonus!
So, if your love life feels a bit lackluster, turn up your favorite jams and take a cue from LL: “Conventional methods of makin’ love kinda bore me / I wanna knock your block off, get my rocks off / Blow your socks off make sure your G spots soft.” Ahem.
