Though it's never really been my M.O. to offer advice — particularly about sex — I do have a couple of suggestions you could employ to enhance the mood the next time things start to heat up.

Atmosphere is an important part of sex; where you are and what you're doing can have a profound impact on the sexual tension of a given situation. Think of the last time you lounged in a hot tub with your lover, or started to get a little heated while riding a ferris wheel.

When it comes to setting a sexy atmosphere, you're bound only by your imagination. All it really takes is a look and a little privacy (though exactly how little is up to you) to ignite sex the likes of which you'll happily brag about to your friends.

Music can make or break an atmosphere, so why not consider these records to aid in the chemistry you're after? Let's face it — great sex is better than getting wasted and lighting couches on fire, any night of the week.

For the intimate

City And Colour, Bring Me Your Love (2008)
College living can be overwhelming, right? On top of classes and homework, you might have to share a place with a couple of people, so getting a space and privacy can be a rare thing.

Dallas Green understands. With Bring Me Your Love, he created a beautiful record that celebrates life and the intricacies of love, obviously inspired by his own budding relationship with TV personality Leah Miller.

From the opening seconds of Forgive Me, the delicate lyrics and acoustic guitar will slow time down for you and your lover. By the time you get to soaring tunes like Constant Knot and The Girl, you'll have forgotten about everything else in the world.

For the playful

John Mayer Trio, Try! (Live, 2005)
Dave Chappelle was right — people are weirdly affected by the sound of an electric guitar. There's something oddly sexy about a man burning out guitar solos; just ask any girl who's ever moaned for a guitarist on stage.

Deciding to put pop music on the back burner, John Mayer formed a sizzling blues trio in 2005 and went on a short tour, from which we got Try!, a sensational live concert record. On it, Johnny displays a guitar prowess of which very few knew he was even capable.

The funk and punch of the opener, Who Did You Think I Was? will start things off, burning through three upbeat tracks including Hendrix's Wait Until Tomorrow before slowing way down with Out Of My Mind. Put on the record and a come-hither gaze, and let your bodies do the rest.

For the passionate

Jamie Lidell, Compass (2010)
For more primal, fingernails-in-your-skin sex, Jamie Lidell's Compass is just what the doctor ordered. Known for his energetic soul music and vocal techniques, with vocals reminiscent of Motown and occasional beatboxing, Lidell was approached by Beck for production.

The result is an eccentric record just oozing sex appeal, fusing intoxicating R&B with electric jazz into a blend of neo-soul music — if Justin Timberlake brought sexy back in 2006, Jamie Lidell has oiled you up in it and massaged it in.

The opening track, Completely Exposed will have you tearing each other's clothes off, while the singles I Wanna Be Your Telephone and The Ring set the pace for some amazing loving. By the time you make it to You See My Light, the closing tune, you'll likely both have collapsed into each other's arms, heaving for breath.

Come to think of it, perhaps you shouldn't use this record if you have any heart conditions. Be safe. I'm out of words.
