Why This Is the Ultimate Metal Sex Playlist
Sin, Sweat & Riffs – the gospel according to your hips. Here’s a metal sex playlist to fuck to. Who needs Marvin Gaye when you’ve got Peter Steele crooning in your ear? Forget candlelight ballads and smooth R&B. Metalheads know passion can be primal, dirty, and utterly transcendent. Metal isn’t just riffs, it’s desire, filth, ritual and theater. Metal has always courted lust, carnality, and blasphemy, from doom-laden hymns to industrial sleaze. Here’s our list of songs to set the mood when things get hot and heavy.
Some of these tracks I know only from the speakers. Others? Let’s just say they’ve been fully… field-tested. Because sex, like metal, isn’t about playing it safe, it’s about losing yourself when the chemistry is right.”
That’s our unapologetically filthy, heavy, and lust-drenched metal sex playlist. Proof that metal has always been as carnal as it is crushing. But why stop here? This list is a nod to every reader who knows damn well they’ve already tested a few of these tracks in real life.

Tender but Heavy
Slow burns, sensual grooves, and songs that ache with longing before exploding into release.
Acid Bath – Jezebel
Southern gothic depravity draped in velvet. Dax Riggs croons like a sinner begging for one last touch before hell takes him. The riffs crawl slow and thick, equal parts funeral and foreplay. Jezebel isn’t about love, it’s about the kind of lust that leaves scratchmarks down your back.
Chelsea Wolfe – The Warden
A slow, shadowy seduction for our metal sex playlist. Wolfe’s voice feels like a spell murmured against your throat. Soft menace with gentle corruption. Adds a feminine counterpoint to all the masculine domination.
Deftones – Passenger
Few bands channel raw sexuality like Deftones, and “Passenger” is their ultimate slow-burn seduction. The track feels like being drawn into a forbidden ride. Chino Moreno’s sensual delivery intertwines with Maynard James Keenan’s shadowy counter-vocals, creating a push-and-pull of lust and surrender. The music builds with a grinding, hypnotic intensity that mirrors the act itself: steady, immersive, and impossible to resist. This isn’t just a song-it’s an invitation
Sleep Token – The Summoning
This song went viral on TikTok for making the internet horny. It was crowned a modern classic in sultry crooning, jazzy interludes, and crushing riffs all in one. A soundtrack for multiple phases of the night, teasing, passion, and release. Perfect for a metal sex playlist.
Pantera – This Love
Tenderness wrapped in rage. It’s a bipolar ballad of romance and destruction. Its perfect for our metal sex playlist that mixes tenderness and aggression.
Type O Negative – Christian Woman
Christian Woman” is a song by Type O Negative included on their third album Bloody Kisses, released in 1993. Peter Steele’s basso profundo practically oozes sin. It’s doom-metal foreplay: sacrilege, romance, and sweaty desire rolled into one Gothic hymn.
Opeth – By the Pain I See in Others
Seventeen minutes of progressive melancholy that tests your stamina as much as your soul. It’s bleak, beautiful, and provocative, exactly what you want for an otherworldly climax.
Chains, Leather & BDSM
Whips crack, leather squeaks, and the riffs come down harder than a dungeon master’s verdict.
Rammstein – Bück Dich
Rammstein makes our metal sex playlist because of its industrial punishment served with a grin. Pure mechanical domination. Rammstein turning the stage into a dungeon. It’s iconic, dangerous, and impossible to mistake for anything else.
Otep – Seduce and Destroy
Brutal and provocative, Otep Shamaya flips the script into pure domination and fits right in on our metal sex playlist. Aggression and eroticism bleed together in this unapologetically seductive track.
In This Moment – Sick Like Me
Maria Brink’s twisted lullaby of obsession makes depravity sound irresistible. A song that revels in dirty desire with a carnival-of-lust aesthetic.
Nine Inch Nails – Closer
No surprises here, it’s the ultimate industrial anthem of unfiltered lust. Trent Reznor turned bedroom talk into a grinding, filthy groove that defined a generation of sexual chaos.
Belphegor – Sexdictator Lucifer
Belphegor makes our metal sex playlist because sometimes lust is blasphemy with blast beats. It’s evil, it’s obscene, and somehow, it’s still a banger.
Genitorturers – Pleasure in Restraint
A lesson in control. This song is about control, tension, and delayed gratification which makes it even hotter. Gen whips desire into discipline, every beat a heartbeat held just a little too long. The guitars grind like chains against steel while her voice teases, promising release only through obedience. It’s not chaos, it’s choreography. Pleasure hurts sweeter when it’s earned.
Primal & Rough
Sweaty, messy and animalistic. The soundtrack to teeth on skin and nails down the back.
Pig Destroyer – Pornographic Memory
Desire after the fact thats smeared, distorted, looping in your skull like damaged tape. Pig Destroyer turn lust into confession, every blast beat a heartbeat of guilt and hunger. It’s not about the act itself, but the ghost it leaves behind: sticky, haunting, impossible to wash off. The kind of track that reminds you pleasure always has teeth.
Cryptopsy – Malicious Needs
No tenderness here, just the hunger that comes after restraint breaks. Cryptopsy’s precision feels surgical, but the intent is feral. Every riff lunges, every scream bleeds want. It’s the sound of flesh meeting fury, lust sharpened into weaponry.
The Velvet Underground – Venus in Furs
Desire as devotion, pain as prayer. Lou Reed’s monotone drawl wraps around that hypnotic drone like a leather whip, cold, elegant, and inevitable. There’s no pretense here, just submission rendered beautiful. The song doesn’t ask permission; it commands you to kneel.
Gravity Kills – Guilty
Industrial lust at its dirtiest. “Guilty” is all razor-wire riffs, pounding electronics, and Jeff Scheel’s breathy growl demanding submission. It’s aggressive and unapologetically filthy. The soundtrack to sweat, scratches, and teeth on skin. Where other tracks seduce, “Guilty” takes control, pulling you into a heady mix of danger and desire.
Grave – In Love
Old-school death metal makes our metal sex playlist. It doesn’t usually aim for seduction, but this one does it with tongue firmly in cheek. A filthy hymn to unholy lust.
Black Flag – Slip It In
Punk, hardcore, and lust collide on our metal sex playlist. Crass? Yes. Effective? Also yes. It’s confrontational sex distilled into a riff.
Fleshgod Apocalypse – The Forsaking
Symphonic death metal might not scream “romance,” but the drama here is undeniable. Orchestral swells and relentless intensity set a backdrop for unholy passion.
Cannibal Corpse – I Cum Blood
The sleaziest hymn ever to crawl out of a morgue. A grotesque fantasy so over-the-top it becomes its own parody of lust and death. Grind-level filth delivered with technical precision. Obscene, hilarious, and utterly uncompromising. It’s what happens when desire rots but refuses to die.
Lords of Acid – I Sit in Acid
Aural submission at its finest. This track doesn’t flirt, it orders. The beat snaps like latex on skin. There’s no romance here, just chemistry and instinct, bodies moving until the rhythm breaks them apart. The kind of track that leaves you breathless, grinning, and a little bit ruined.
Camp & Sleaze
Sometimes sex is absurd, hilarious, and filthy fun. These are the songs for when you’re laughing and moaning at the same time.
GWAR – Sexecutioner
Only GWAR could make grotesque lust into pure theater. The “Sexecutioner” persona is sleazy, filthy, and absurd, turning sex into a cartoonishly over-the-top spectacle. Equal parts funny and shocking, this track is less about seduction and more about celebrating metal’s raunchiest camp.
White Zombie – More Human Than Human
The cinematic porno sample on our metal sex list? Hell yes! Iconic. Rob Zombie’s sleazy groove and the Café Flesh audio snippet turned this into a ’90s sex anthem for metalheads.
Korn – A.D.I.D.A.S.
All Day I Dream About Sex. Korn made it campy, nu-metal, and strangely irresistible. A whole generation of mall-rats took this to heart.
Mindless Self Indulgence – Get It Up
“Unhinged, chaotic, and impossible to ignore. Get It Up cranks the temperature and the tempo. This is where teasing ends and full-tilt energy takes over.”
Danzig – She Rides
Glenn Danzig channels Elvis in hell with this slow, grinding ode to seduction. Pure, swaggering bedroom doom.
Wednesday 13 – I Love to Say Fuck
Filthy, funny, and gloriously self-aware. Wednesday 13 turns profanity into foreplay, sneering through every verse with a punk’s grin and a stripper’s swagger. It’s not about love or lust, it’s about the thrill of getting away with both. The perfect soundtrack for laughing your way through sin.
Steel Panther – Always Gonna Be a Ho
Hair-spray, leather, and pure bad decisions. Steel Panther’s ode to shameless indulgence turns sleaze into a sing-along. It’s all spandex swagger and winking depravity. The kind of track that makes you laugh mid-thrust and keep going anyway. Proof that not all sin needs to be serious.
Ritual Lust
When desire feels less like a hookup and more like a ceremony. Sacred, profane, and dripping in blood and ecstasy.
Celtic Frost – A Dying God Coming into Human Flesh
Avant-garde doom drenched in ritualistic lust. Tom G. Warrior makes apocalypse sound seductive, crawling and crawling until it devours.
Moonspell – Vampiria
Gothic romance with fangs. Moonspell makes lust sound like a curse whispered in candlelight. Velvet, venom, and yearning wrapped in ritual. Every chord bleeds seduction, the kind that feels both dangerous and divine. This is where desire sleeps in a coffin and still looks beautiful.
Dissection – Elizabeth Bathory
A frozen hymn to eternal hunger. Dissection’s take on the Blood Countess drips with aristocratic depravity, beauty and violence entwined. The riffs shimmer like candlelight on crimson, turning murder into ceremony and lust into legend.
Krisiun – Ritualized Orgasm of Blasphemy
Leave it to Brazilian death metal titans to make an orgy sound like a demonic ritual. With its blasting fury and blasphemous imagery, this track is less about passion and more about excess — a chaotic soundtrack to lust pushed past human boundaries. Over-the-top, obscene, and perfect for rounding out the extreme end of this playlist.
Septicflesh – The Vampiric Ritual Song
Straight from A Fallen Temple, this is one of the most overtly erotic tracks in extreme metal. With symphonic grandeur and guttural menace, Septicflesh summon images of vampires locked in blood-soaked ecstasy. It’s carnal, ritualistic, and dripping with lust, a perfect union of sex, death, and the supernatural.
Behemoth – The Typhonian Soul Zodiack
Off The Satanist, this is Behemoth at their most erotic and occult. The lyrics invoke Lilith, the sex-demon mother, in a swirl of ritual lust and darkness. It’s not “romantic” by any stretch, but it’s a carnal, forbidden hymn that proves metal has never shied away from sex, power, and the unholy.
Ghost – He Is
A hymn disguised as a love song, or vice versa. Tobias Forge sells the idea that worship and desire are the same act. It’s sensual, devout, and eerie in equal measure. Your divine afterglow moment.
Doggy Doom
Slow, heavy, and relentless, doom riffs built for primal pounding. No frills, no finesse, just pure thrust until the floor shakes. Think of it as the official soundtrack to do it on all fours.
Electric Wizard – Funeralopolis
The sound of civilization collapsing under a cloud of bong smoke and sin. Every riff grinds like tectonic plates, turning sex into slow destruction. A dirge for the damned and the decadent alike.
Sleep – Dragonaut
That iconic opening riff feels like a crawl toward the altar. Massive, hypnotic, unhurried, it’s stoner doom at its most tantric. This is the rhythm of the grind, cosmic and provocative.
Candlemass – Mirror Mirror
This epic doom song gets seductive with its thick basslines and mournful crooning, transforming despair into lust. Every note hangs heavy in the air, like incense in a dark cathedral.
Eyehategod – Sister Fucker (Pt. 1)
The name says it all, pure sleaze in sonic form. Feedback, filth, and fury combine into something so wrong it feels delicious. You don’t make love to this; you survive it.
Grindcore
The soundtrack for horny Gen Z hook-ups who can’t last longer than a Napalm Death song. And the kicker? Napalm Death –You Suffer clocks in at 1.316 seconds, it’s basically the ultimate premature playlist pick.
AxCx (Anal C***) – All I Give a Fuck About Is Sex
Grindcore’s one-minute mating call. It’s crude, explosive, and over before you realize what hit you which might be the most honest sexual metaphor ever recorded. No romance, no prelude, just pure noise and nerve. Proof that lust and laughter can share the same blast beat.
Rotten Sound – Slaves of Lust
Thirty seconds of raw compulsion. The riffs don’t seduce; they attack, clawing their way under your skin until you’re panting just to keep up. It’s lust stripped diwn to raw instinct. Violent, hungry, and gone before you can catch your breath. The musical equivalent of teeth sinking in and then disappearing into the dark.
Masters of Pleasure
For the ones who know exactly what they’re doing. They are deliberate, confident, and devastatingly skilled. Every touch is intentional, every move designed to make you unravel. These aren’t fumblers, they’re architects of ecstasy.
Motionless in White – The Seduction of the Crimson Kiss
Seduction dressed in latex and lipstick. Chris Motionless turns lust into theater, commanding every breath with a predator’s grace. The song pulses with cinematic tension with blood, beauty, and control colliding in perfect rhythm. It’s not romance; it’s ritual dominance, and you’ll thank it for the bite marks.
The 69 Eyes – Velvet Touch
Finnish sleaze done with elegance. Jyrki croons like a vampire who’s had centuries to perfect the art of seduction. It’s suave, dark, and utterly sure of itself.
KMFDM – Megalomaniac
Arrogant, slick, and strutting, the confidence of someone who already knows they’ll win. That stomping groove and cold precision make it the perfect closer for the “I’m in control” energy.
Madeaux – “Say It”
Metal isn’t the only genre that knows how to get dark and dirty. “Say It” is a sleek, shadow-soaked seduction piece from electronic artist Madeaux, and while it doesn’t have riffs, it drips with the same danger and desire as the heaviest doom track. His smooth, commanding voice and hypnotic beat create a slow-burn tension that feels downright ritualistic. It’s the moment between the storm of distortion where lust turns from primal growl to whispered devotion. Proof that sometimes the most metal move is to break the rules.
The Stooges – I Wanna Be Your Dog
The first lesson in control is knowing when to kneel. Iggy Pop turned submission into power, panting through distortion like he was teaching the world how to crave. Three chords, one command. Raw desire shaped into something deliberate. Every master started as a dog.
Future Filth / Moancore Mutation
When metal’s lust left the dungeon and crawled into the algorithm, it learned to moan in 4K. These tracks prove that the primal pulse still thrives, it just picked up a ring light.
XCORPSEGASM – “Body Count (Moan Mix)”
This is the Rosetta Stone of the moancore phenomenon. It started as a joke edit. A regular deathcore breakdown with a few breathy samples and a whispered “harder” dropped in for shock value but it caught fire on TikTok.
GlassGoddess – Lust.exe
Cybersex meets industrial metal. Metallic percussion and processed sighs twist together until you’re unsure whether to dance or confess. Desire rendered as code thats sterile, seductive, and strangely human.
DeathDealer’sWife – Suffocate Me Gently
A tongue-in-cheek panic attack of pleasure. Blastbeats stutter between gasps and whispers, like a hookup that doubles as an exorcism. Equal parts parody and possession.
NEONBLØØD – Choke Chain Symphony
Darkwave sensuality with drop-tuned menace. Whispered commands slice through synthetic fog; it’s ritual lust in binary form. Dominion and submission digitized.
LØVGRL – Heaven Bent
If Spiritbox and Grimes ever collaborated during a blackout. Ethereal vocals float over djent riffs, collapsing bedroom intimacy into neon-lit confession. The perfect closer for a list that’s half sweat, half circuitry.
From lustful doom to sleazy industrial grooves, metal has always flirted with sex. This is the definitive playlist of songs to fuck to. Sinful, sultry, heavy as hell.

Author’s Note
Pop will flirt with you. Metal will drag you into the dark and make you feel something real. Every riff on this list proves that desire isn’t just soft light and breathy choruses, it’s sweat, danger, and surrender. Lust has always lived in distortion: in the feedback, the growl, the pulse that hits just below the ribs.
This isn’t background music. It’s communion for the body and the beast that drives it. Metal doesn’t ask for romance, it demands honesty.
