Usher Vs. Timberlake: The Battle Begins (In Bed)

usher.jpgUsher has weighed in one of the great debates of our time: Do you take your sex with music or without? I’m not entirely surprised Usher is pro-musical accompaniment–nor that said music has to be his own. “I made love to a few songs. ‘Love You Gently’ is one of my favorites. Make her call you ‘Daddy’ when you put that one on,” he told Britain’s version of Marie Claire. But in the interest of starting a scrap, the Daily Record has pointed out that Justin Timberlake has, in the past, begged to differ–because his musical genius ends up getting unnecessarily distracted by any mood music. “I have trouble having sex to music because I start picking out the chords,” he told the British magazine Dazed & Confused around the release of FutureSex/LoveSounds. Maybe now that he isn’t so distracted by making a record, he too can enjoy Usher’s mountain-moving songs while in flagrante? [Glasgow Daily Record]

    I agree. Music during the deed is kind of distracting. [And who even has that on the brain when it's time to "get down". -"Oh hold up, let me put on some Teddy P real quick..."] But I will stand behind that Love You Gently track. But then again I am a sucker for anything from the Guy/Silk/H-Town school of R&B slow jams.

    I believe you mean XTube fame.

    YouTube fame is a mere step away.

    @Ned Raggett: "I am boning in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my boning and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my boning, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed, and I ejaculate. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by the sound of me boning. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my boning might have."

    @GhostOfDuane: Ah, your homage to Alvin Lucier -- "I Am Screwing In a Room"

    I also get distracted by music in the sack. That's why I put on a pre-recorded tape of myself breathing heavily and grunting whenever business time begins.
