More ‘connections:’
The blog says the music/lovemaking connection is strong in many ways. Some 66% said listening to music during relations reduces performance anxiety, while 63% said it significantly increases the duration of the act.
People who said they listened to music during lovemaking were generally more satisfied with their sex lives and had relations more often than those who didn’t.
There are some interesting numbers on the “fringes” of the survey: People who listen to classical music during the moment were the most likely to say they’re satisfied with their sex life. And a third of the people who listen to EDM during love making say they’ve had relations in public.
Country music fans were 22% more likely to have participated in an orgy, heavy metal fans were 72% more likely to have a fetish, and reggae fans were 38% more likely to cry during sex.
And a small number take the connection very seriously; 3% of those surveyed say they have worn their AirPods during sex.
