When it came to music to have sex to though, that is a different tune altogether from what OP is talking about dates and such.
For that, I like my old goth repertoire. I've got some old Cleopatra compilations, bit of Electric Hellfire Club, some Crow Soundtrack perhaps...? I had a friend once say, "You play Type O Negative, to get goth chicks to hold still long enough so you can have sex with them." LOL ok then... Cannot say he's wrong.
It was a main reason I liked the aesthetic though. 90's Goth was sexy stuff. It was a good time to be a spooky teenager.
And my older man likes it, too, surprisingly. But he likes many, many kinds of music. He introduced me to the band that is presently my favorite, Abney Park.
One time though, early in our relationship, I went to his house for a visit, one thing on my mind. To the extent I wore frilly fancy things under my clothes at work all day. I could not wait to get there, and take off my clothes and surprise him. His reaction was mild to say the least... So we were planning to go out later, but had some time to have fun before we left. He tied me up. Exciting! Put a blindfold on me. Oo, anticipation! Put headphones on my ears... OK...some sort of sensory deprivation play thing is gonna happen, maybe...?
Turns out, he just really wanted me to hear his favorite John Denver and Dan Fogelberg songs. That was all. When he'd played them, he untied me, told me to get dressed, and we went out.
Two Steps From Hell, Clint Mansell, Ramin Djawadi, Hans Zimmer, Alexandre Desplat, Max Richter, Audiomachine, Zack Hemsey, Alan Silvestri, James Horner, Howard Shore, Thomas Newman. (epic orchestral and film scores)
Also 80s-2010s alternative and rock, 80s-90s pop (some), blues, folk rock, soul, pop rock, blues rock, dupstep, new age, Daft Punk, hip hop.
Really? Thought once you got past 13 you'd lose interest, same goes with old school make up wearing kiss.
LOL at most of their shows, there are a lot of older rockers. Heck, they are more popular with people in their 30s - 50s, since the band has been around for 30+ years now. The kids are all into that weird death metal with the unintelligible lyrics and the logo that looks like kindling. 13 year olds now haven't heard of GWAR unless their parents are bohabs.
I got into GWAR as a fan in about 1996 when I was 17, and I've been friends with 'em since about 2007. Which isn't bragging, that's the thing, they're really nice. Weird art collective D&D nerds. Just my kind of people. And the singer who passed a few years ago, Dave, treated everyone like family. So it's like, "yeah I'm friends with Dave/GWAR" but I'm one of probably thousands, it doesn't make me special, it makes them special for being cool to people.

Dave was awesome; he is deeply missed by many.
I remember when he died, wasn't a fan, but I can appreciate fans appreciation. Music stirs my soul, so I'm sorry if I came off crappy.
Pretty much any Maxwell album -especially Urban Hang Suite - will work for RnB fans. Plenty of Prince's albums and mixes you can make will do the job as well.
Some other RnB albums that set the mood nicely:
Janet Jackson - The Velvet Rope & absolutely gotta throw in Anytime, Any place; Thats the Way Love Goes;
Sade - any album, but especially Love Deluxe and Lovers Rock
I have a varied taste in music so I could see some of these more 'indie rock' type albums working too:
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (when you sleep might be the best recorded song ever)
Portishead - Dummy
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Some Slowdive
Some songs that can set the mood too:
Outkast - Funky Ride; Spottioppadopalicious
Parliament Funkadelic/Boosty Collins - I'd Rather Be With You
Bloodstone - Natural High
Total - Kissing You;
SWV - Weak; Downtown; You're Always on My Mind
ToniToneTony - Lay Your head on my Pillow; Anniversary
Ginuwine - so Anxious; changes;
D'Angelo - Higher, Lady, Untitled (How Does it Feel?); Brown Sugar;
112 - Cupid, Anywhere;
Jodeci - feein'; Forever My lady; Come and Talk to Me;

Nice
You just named half my "Quiet Storm" playlist. Ohhh Jodeci ...
Gotta fill it out with Al Green, Irma Thomas, a little Otis, and this steamy gem from Shuggie Otis:
I like old school; LL coolJ, Mama said knock you out, beastie boys, Linkin Park of course...bands around when I was cool. All I have to do is hear the song...I have no idea how old I am, and I can still move it anyway.
