We should have seen it coming: in an attempt to capitalize on the Great Mommy Porn Craze of 2012, EMI is releasing Fifty Shades of Grey: The Classical Album, “featuring classical music personally selected by author E. L. James and referenced in the best-selling Fifty Shades trilogy.” Who are the hot, sexy artists included on the soundtrack? Well, there’s Bodacious Bach, Debussy (more like DePUSSY, amiright?), Pachelbel and His In-My-Pants Canon, and many more. It’s available beginning August 21, but you shouldn’t buy it. Please don’t buy it, in fact. E.L. James has enough money.
But if you’re looking for a playlist of songs to soundtrack your BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism)-related activities, here are 10 to start with that should have been on the, ugh, Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. I’d rather be spanked with a poop-covered whip by Mickey Rourke than have to say that again.
I also saved the playlist on Spotify, which you can find here. Add more song suggestions in the comments below (and before anyone SCREAMS about it, I didn’t any include Nine Inch Nails because most of Trent’s song subvert the domination trope. But “Head Like a Hole” is fantastic.)

Applicable Lyric: “Her ass was inches from me when she told me to lick/Before I could do anything she slapped my d*ck/So I followed her commands, my aim was to please/I spent the rest of the flight on my knees.”
