Gaye's "Let's Get It On" placed near the top of the list of songs that rev people's sexual engines, followed by Ravel's epic "Bolero." But the tune voted number one was "Time of My Life," that sweaty Swayze classic from 1987's Dirty Dancing.
"It's no surprise that so many respondents claimed to find music arousing in the bedroom," Mullensiefen said, adding that sexy time music releases chemicals from the brain's pleasure center.
