The Sexiest Types Of Lovemaking, As Defined By Prince Songs

I shed a few tears at my desk today. It was awful. But after a bit, I thought to myself, "This isn't what Prince would want." So I collected myself and mused, "What would Prince want?"

Of course, he'd want you to make sweet love to your sweet thing while listening to his music. Prince was an artist who cared about love. He loved love. His body may be no longer living, but his spirit will continue on in all of us, as long as we share the love he expressed in his music.

Now just about every Prince song is sexy, but no two songs are sexy in the same way. Some are make-sweet-love sexy, while others are take-a-vacation-down-to-pound-town sexy. The rest of his songs are everywhere in between. So, depending on your mood tonight, take your pick and put one of these songs on repeat. 

This song is perfect for sweet, gentle lovemaking. It's all about comfort, care and cuddling. It'll make you cherish your partner as the two of you slowly rub your bodies together. Having sex to "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" is about the act of sex itself rather than the end game of having an orgasm.

"Kiss" is a smooth AF song that's perfect for mature, trusting sex with someone you know and love completely. It's also kind of like a striptease in song form—it'll make you give/get what you want very slowly. Not quite completely gentle, not quite hardcore, but totally cool. 

This song is perfect for when you just want to party in the bedroom. Got no fucks left to give and just want to get down for some upbeat banging? "1999" is your jam.

The driving guitar riff and super 80s drums make this song perfect for one thing: hardcore, sweaty, intense banging. 

This song is naughty, playful sexy. With lyrics like "You've got the horn so why don't you blow it?," "Cream" is great for the fun, orgasm-after-orgasm sex that only comes once in a blue moon. 

The 12" album cut of "Purple Rain" clocks in at 8:41 and is an amazingly epic song. It's not one that you straight-up fuck to—you've got to make love to this one. But strap in and bring some Gatorade, because it's going to be one long, tantric lovemaking session. 

"When Doves Cry" is easily one of the best songs to have sex to. It's the all-encompassing sex song—it works from gentle sex all the way to intense, passion-fueled banging. When the shredding guitar riffs open up the track, you just know you're in for some of the most fulfilling sex of your life. For bonus fun, watch the music video while you're deflowering each other. Nothing's sexier than doves and purple.
