I’ll let you in on a little secret about me that you have to promise not to tell anyone if we ever meet. I’m an easy date—if you have the knowhow. And I mean easy. To get me undressed, a boyfriend or girlfriend doesn’t have to buy me things or take me to dinner or to say just the right thing. All they need do is to find the music that touches my buttons, that tickles me from the inside out, and I’m theirs for the night…or a good hour and a half anyway.
I’ve always been a believer in the idea that music is the great aphrodisiac—and so have societies throughout history. (Why else would certain religious groups ban it if not for the fact that it causes the sort of behaviour that could bring one to orgasm?) There’s a reason the idea of music and narcotics go together in popular culture; just like a drug, music can get into your system in no time at all and make you act in ways you wouldn’t otherwise.
