Just wondering what everybody watches or listens to while cuddling
I usually don’t want music or tv on
@hugonehugall ~ Same! I'd made all these playlists thinking that I should, but when it comes down to it, connecting in silence is golden!
Though, there have been a couple times where a stand up comic, or comedic movie was running in the background, and I gotta say, laughter during a cuddle is pretty delightful too!!
I found leaving the free ABC news stream on Hulu playing for background noise was good lol. I think we only referenced what they were talking about once, but idk it was just extra cozy to have something playing
Usually some soft instrumental new age relaxation music, like singing bowls.
Like smooth jazz...
I like the show New Girl, and I knew my cuddle partner liked comedies. I offered to put it on during our cuddle, with the caveat that if he didn't enjoy it, we'd turn Netflix off.
He loved it! And let me tell you, feeling/hearing someone's laugh with your head on their chest... beautiful It was a really nice moment just giggling together.
Previously we tried horror movies and some cheesy 80's comedies (whatever was playing at the drive-in theater). Didn't care for either of those, we ignored them and focused on the cuddles.
Ooh! I have a cuddling playlist! For anyone who's interested--enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3vFsRYydZvrm7H3CR13mAR?si=Te6AzIwBSSudacD_TVa34g
For me I love to listen to SlowJamz/ R&b / SoftRock or something very mellow 🎶 🎵
I think a mutually enjoyable movie or music is good while cuddling. For music, I think soft music and/or 80s is good.
I often put on soft instrumental or meditation music, or sometimes gentle indie folk style songs.
The other person’s story
Either smooth jazz or the sweet sound of silence.
Technical death metal and grind core
Powernoise.
@pmvines ~ 🤘😝 ~ Yay to updating another playlist! Cause you never know when one might tire of blackgaze, sludge metal and Viking core as an accompaniment to their cuddling ~ Gotta keep it fresh, right?! Just to be safe, I'll add in some sweet powernoise too ~ You know, to round things out a bit (thanks to @UltimateChungus for the mention of it).
Now off I go to Spotify...
Gotta have some technical death metal and acid thrash in there too for those short 4 hour re-energizing cuddles
How the hell did I forget to mention horror core dammit I'm to distracted with cuddle thoughts today!
@NightShift39 ~ Noted! 😉
edit: 👩💻"acid thrash" ~ okay it's getting added too! And, "Mix with Cuddles to Re-Energize" might just be the new list title... tbd.
@hugonehugall too bad boo. When we finally have a cuddle, I’m playing music!! Lol and I’ll be in control of the playlist so there won’t be any Nelly Furtado 😂😂😂
Meditation music.
Not generally a fan of music or tv on either!
I'm usually enjoying the feeling and sensations of the cuddle...anything else is a distraction. I don't mind if a partner wants to listen to music. If it relaxes them, all the better. Since I'm a musician, I usually start to analyze or critique most music being played...and that is not relaxing. However I can sometimes tune it out the same way I do when getting a massage.
@Sheena123 Don’t I get a say in this ? 😒😒😒
@hugonehugall awww it’s adorable when you think you get a say in things 😂😂
@Sheena123 ooh a take charge kinda woman eh? I like it. @hugonehugall might as well just accept it mate lol
