Classical is sexy

The BBC recently released an article about music and “skin orgasms.” The article claims great music carries with it a sensual element that can become addictive.

Science tends to do this with classical music — confirm what most of us already know. We’ve seen research for years that tells us that classical music benefits all sorts of brain activity in both mathematical and creative realms.

We’ve all heard that Mozart makes you smarter and now Rachmaninoff makes you sexier, or more sexual, or at least somewhat stirred up. No duh. Or to put that in its current mode, no derp.

The article goes into significant detail about research and dopamine and cocaine-like effects. Anyone who has ever “done it” to Rachmaninoff could have told you that it heightens the experience significantly. Although, the article doesn’t discuss having actual sex during classical music.

This type of information seems to be trying to validate the value of classical music.

See, classical music gives you a sexual experience. It must be good. See, classical music makes you smarter. It must be good.

Classical music is not a means to an end. It has its own intrinsic value. These articles are fun but somewhat redundant.

We shouldn’t need brain scans to confirm that children benefit from classical music. We don't need MRIs to confirm the skin orgasm. It is self-evident.
