Aha, yeah, I don't think I've ever made out to music before (yeah, I know I'm probably missing out), but I have made out to an episode of Fresh Prince of Bellair, lol. We had the volume on really low and only had it on in case a parent walked in (so we could jump up quickly and claim to have been watching it). So now every time I watch that show, I think of that and laugh to myself.

Bellasugar, I TOTALLY agree...Loveless is great! I think "Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" by Spiritualized is prime make-out material as well.

i love that's the way love goes. but i'm such a huge janet fan. lol. & i also agree with nice & slow. although i feel like sexual healing is a good make out song, after watching the video i always crack up when i hear it. the d'angelo song is good for making out...but that can make you easily escalate into other things. lmao. hmm .. some of my favorites are:by your side - sadeyour body is a wonderland - john mayerall blues - miles davispda - john legend& a bunch i can't think of. great topic :)

Maxwell and Prince for sure, I don't actually have specific sons. "I Can't Make You Love Me" is my jam. R.Kelly has some good ones as does Boys to Men.

Wyclef Jean, "sweetest girl".....lol it reminds me of college
Blackwood 5 years
wicked game is good, but the version by him is far better, not only to make out, but to grind and work your body up against the person while following the rhythm... plus, the guitar solo is the best part! haha

This reminds me of a funny story. My last boyfriend was really into R&B, soul and funk (a drummer). One of the first times we made out, he had on this song that had really dirty lyrics - I had to tell him to turn it off because it was so distracting and meta! He was like, "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't even listen to lyrics because I hear the rhythm" and was kind of embarrassed. I thought it was hilarious! (after I realized that he wasn't actually playing it because he wanted me to do the stuff in the lyrics)
