Your sexual satisfaction according to your preferred music genre
Can musical preference influence sexual satisfaction and sexual behavior?
It’s well-known that different music genres have their own cultures among fans. From country music and cowboys to reggae music and Rastas, genres embody more than their distinct sound as it intersects with our sexual behavior and preferences.
Through surveying 1010 people who enjoy both listening to music and having sex, Tickpick explored the ins-and-outs (and ins-and-outs) of how your musical preferences affect your sexual preferences, attitudes and fetishes.
Overall, only 57% of those surveyed were satisfied with their sex life, however the likelihood of sexual enjoyment changed depending on their preferred music genre.

- Country- 66.3% are satisfied
