does he yell "fucked with my knife"? or "stripped raped and strangled"? |

How do I convince my boyfriend that death metal is not mood music?

Dear Prudence,
My boyfriend is absolutely not a sadistic sex killer. He is a kind and generally considerate person. But he loves listening to gruesome death metal—music best described as blasting noise with deranged growls and shrieks that often (from what I can tell) celebrates horrendous misogynistic violence. He respects that I am not a fan of this music and doesn't usually play it when I am around. But he gets a huge charge from listening to it when we have sex and is comparatively lackluster at the deed when he doesn't have it to fire him up. Although I find the music unpleasant and distracting, I don't object when I feel focused enough to block it out. What really bothers me are the awful themes. It disturbs me that a seemingly well-adjusted man in his 30s is aroused by torture fantasies set to music. He says it's just about the "energy" for him, but I really don't know what to think about someone who wants to listen to Cannibal Corpse when he makes love to me. Am I being oversensitive about this?

Dear Blasted,
It's always a comfort to know the person you love is not a sadistic sex killer—so right there you have something to build on. I like the image of you two making love: He's cranking up Cannibal Corpse's romantic classic "Bloody Chunks" while you're sticking in the ear buds of your iPod and desperately turning up the volume on Michael Bublé's version of "I've Got You Under My Skin." When you're not having sex, you say he's "generally considerate," which is not exactly a declaration that "I've got you under my skin/ I've got you deep in the heart of me/ So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me." But couples need to have sex, and he finds it hard to perform unless you are forced to listen to songs of female dismemberment. As you describe it, you get through these sessions by trying to disassociate yourself from what is going on. This does not sound like a formula for sustained intimacy. I don't think you're being oversensitive about the gruesome nature of your boyfriend's favorite erotic imagery, especially since you are supposed to endure it. I have a hard time seeing where this relationship is headed—it already sounds like a Cannibal Corpse.

Too bad she doesn't understand the joys of "dancing" to Stripped, Raped, and Strangled..eh John? |
|
death metal doesn't really do it for me in that regards either. i did have sex to Lord Belial once, but it didn't fit. |
|
She should be lucky he wants to have sex with her at all, the worthless sow.
I am totally going to hell for that one. |
|
I banged my ex to Obituary. Needless to say the sex was slow and basic. I love Obituary! |
|
I'd counter with Baby Beluga... |
|
for some reason....napalm death is my "energy boost during sex" music.
specifically "Fear, Emptiness, and Despair"
kinda weird, since my fav. N.D. albums are their first 2.
but i don't know, something about the song "Plague Rages" gives me the energy to jackhammer.

i remember one time i threw that album on when i was slamming some young broad (i was 22, this chick was 18), who had the worst taste in music ever (she loved boybands, and cheesy 90's R&B)....she started crying.....

is it weird that that made cum faster? |
|
advice for the guy: if the girl isn't down to fuck while listening to metal, what the hell are you wasting your time for. call me shallow. |
|
i don't know, my ex was into hip-hop and whatever else goes with that genre, and despite my disposition towards it, it made for some awesome sex. |
|
Fast and Hard. Best way to fuck, best music to fuck to. |
|
Just start screwing to Suffocation instead. "No, baby, it's Effigy of the Forgotten."
Seriously... how clueless must one be to (a) fjuck to Cannibal Corpse and (b) to write a letter to a gossip columnist about it? FFS, nillas |
|
Try going from Necrophagist to Neurosis as the playlist keeps going. THAT is interesting |
|
that is absolutely awesome. I love sex to deathmetal, i also love barry white, its all in what kinda mood i'm in. I don't have problems with any kind, except country. Probably couldnt keep it up at that point, but i dont mind, and even like R&B to fuck to, slow is good sometimes as long as its really intense. |
|
ftw? women have forced men to listen to their shitty Enya and Chopin cds in the sack for god knows how long...
oh yeah, and i banged a girl to Formulas Fatal to the Flesh the day it came out. that's all i got. |
|
enya? oh god... i think i have to vomit |
|
it could be worse ... be glad he isnt listening to george michael while slamming her shitter |
|
hahaha
bend over baby! i'm gonna WAM! your ass |
|
hah ... first put on this fake mustache , jack tripper gym shorts and super long tube socks |
