"Relaxing" music with "natural" sounds within it
I have a great collection of spa music. Its like an electronic journey and all my clients love it. I recently found all my favs on Spotify and created a playlist. Happy to share the link. Music is important I think. Some clients prefer no music however.

Classical music
Chamber music - maybe Handel or Bach played low. But I am happy for it to be completely quiet. Just depends on the two people involved and what they want/like at the time. Maybe something like Joni Mitchell.

Some filthy Rnb, that helps the mood instantly, it defiantly makes women feel sexy, and my hands take it from there.

It depends on the type of massage for me. If it’s therapeutic, then soft natural sounds are great. If it sensual, then something more along those lines.

Relaxing if getting a therapeutic massage, Prefer no music if erotic so I can concentrate on hearing his breathing and hopefully soft moans.

something without lots of extreme dynamic contrasts. I like 20th century piano music. Lute music is great too. No singing, please.

The sounds of "Nature"
I like sounds of nature as it gives a feel of being natural and grounded to the beauty of the earth. Now how do you get a massage in a nature setting with chirping birds, ocean sounds and nude massage to be natural like nature. Lol

We like climax music during intense sensual massage, movie music like Interstellar is good for this, Enya for massage before that. We like Classical music as well. The Body Electric music recommendations are good, too.

I have my own tantra playlist, a mixture of classical, new age and atmospheric music. I put the selection on shuffle and allow it to dictate to some extent the speed and range of my srokes. It's a very holistic approach.

One should ask the receiver, but if they have no preferences I suggest relaxing or spa music. Very quiet soothing music enhances a massage, which should be a quiet intimate connecting of two people.

I like the flow of New Age music in the background. Anything from Enya, Julia Fordham, John Barry, Barber, Earl Klugh, Anugama, to Gorecki. Music that will help my flow as I massage across my client's body and for them to relax and get a relaxing flow to their body.
