A recent study conducted by ZipHealth revealed that Deftones, a popular metal band, is the top choice for many Americans when it comes to music to listen to during sex. The study surveyed over 1,000 individuals to understand their listening habits in the bedroom. It was found that 47% of respondents enjoy listening to music while engaging in sexual activities, with Deftones emerging as a favorite.
While hip-hop and rap genres were the most popular choices overall, Deftones secured the third spot on the list, following The Weeknd and Kanye West. Interestingly, Deftones were the only hard rock or metal band to feature in the top 10 acts. Other metal bands like Slipknot and System Of A Down also made appearances in the rankings but placed lower.
On the other hand, Nine Inch Nails was identified as the most popular artist for BDSM-related activities, with their 1994 hit ‘Closer’ being the top-ranked BDSM song. The study also found that listening to music during sex can have positive effects, such as increased satisfaction with sex lives and more frequent sexual activity. It can also help reduce sexual performance anxiety.
In addition to the study findings, Deftones fans can look forward to the band’s upcoming album, as frontman Chino Moreno confirmed that the final vocal tracks are being recorded. This album will follow their well-received 2020 release, ‘Ohms’, which received a five-star review from NME. The band is also scheduled to perform at various summer festivals, including Lollapalooza and a co-headline show with System Of A Down in San Francisco.
Overall, the study sheds light on the influence of music on intimate activities and how different genres can impact the duration and satisfaction levels of such experiences. It also provides insight into the music preferences of individuals in various contexts, from sex to BDSM.
