songs that get the one® community in the mood for #masturbationmay

At ONE®, we believe sexual health and wellness should feel natural, conversational, and fully yours year round, not something reserved for a single campaign or viral moment. It’s an ongoing, evolving part of how we connect with ourselves and others, and that belief doesn’t just live in our products, it lives in our community.

Key Takeaways (TL;DR) Sexy Time Playlist from ONE® Condoms

• #MasturbationMay is all about normalizing conversations around self-pleasure, body awareness, and sexual wellness in a way that feels open, personal, and shame-free.

• The ONE® Momentum®  community shared their ultimate solo-play tunes, highlighting how music can help set the mood and create intentional moments of self-connection.
  

• Across submissions, the most common song vibe wasn’t high-energy or performative. Instead, people gravitated to slow, sensual, dreamy, and confidence-boosting tracks that helped them stay present and comfortable.
  

• Creating a comfortable experience can include products designed to support pleasure and reduce friction, like water-based lubricants and pleasure-focused condom styles.
  

• Beyond playlists and products, the ONE® Momentum® community continues to create space for more honest, inclusive, and judgement-free conversations around intimacy, pleasure, and sexual wellness year round. 

Starting an Ongoing Conversation

Throughout the year, we intentionally create space for more open, informed conversations around sexual wellness. The goal is to meet our community where they are, and give them the tools and language to explore and find what feels right for them.

That conversation doesn’t start in May, it builds over time. 

We kick things off with Measure a Penis Day (MAPD), celebrated every February 1st during National Condom Month, focusing on the importance of proper condom fit, body awareness, and confidence.

From there, we continue into Foreskin Day on April 4th, dedicated to closing the foreskin gap by addressing common myths, answering frequently asked questions, and creating space for more informed and inclusive conversations around anatomy and pleasure. Each of our initiatives builds on the last, creating a more open, informed, and judgement-free conversation around sexual health and wellness.

What’s #MasturbationMay and Why Does it Matter?

May is National Masturbation Month, and the goal is to normalize the discussion around self-pleasure and body exploration. Self-pleasure isn’t one-dimensional and doesn't have to be explicit or follow a script (or even a set soundtrack). It could be about stress relief, body awareness, self-exploration, or simply taking a moment to check in with yourself. That flexibility is exactly why it matters.

If there’s one thing the ONE® community consistently proves, it’s this: connection doesn’t just happen through information, it happens through culture. And one of the most universal cultural languages we all share is music.

Music sets the tone, shapes moods, builds anticipation, and provides a rhythm for our lives. Whether it’s part of your solo self-pleasure, shared intimacy, or just vibing out, the right track can completely shift the experience. That’s exactly what inspired this year’s #MatsurbationMay conversation.

To bring this conversation to life, we turned to our community, our loyal network of creators, advocates, educators, and longtime brand fans. Momentum® isn’t your typical rewards program: it’s a community-powered space where members shape how conversations around sexual health show up in real life. From debunking common condom myths to creating condom couture, the Momentum® community doesn’t just participate, they push taboo conversations forward – this time through music.

We asked members to build their ultimate solo play playlist sharing 3–5 songs that set the mood, and why those tracks hit for them. We received a collection of real, unfiltered insights into how people connect with themselves, their bodies, and their pleasure.

The Playlist: Community Picks That Set the Mood

When we looked across every submission, the songs themselves varied, but the intention behind them felt strikingly similar. In fact, they weren't about high energy or performance. It was about creating a mood: slow, intentional, and fully in the moment. Check out the song themes our community members shared: 

Slow and Sensual

From classic slow jams to modern R&B, the ONE® community leaned into tracks that create space, not rush it. 

• “Let’s Get It On” by Marvin Gaye

• “Two Weeks” by FKA Twigs

• “Earned It” by The Weeknd 

• “That’s The Way Love Goes” by Janet Jackson

Dreamy and Cinematic

• “I’m God” by Imogen Heap 

• “Your Teeth in My Neck” by Kali Uchis

• “Naked in Manhattan” by Chapel Roan

• “Hands on Me” by Ayesha Erotica 

One response described this vibe perfectly: ”I always choose songs that feel like they belong in a rom-com or pivotal movie scene”.

Sensually Confident 

• “Body Party” by Ciara

• “Say Yes” by Floetry

• “Without You” by 112

• “Silently” by Maxwell

Described as “close and sexy,” these tracks center body awareness, helping people stay connected to themselves and in the heat of the moment. 

Creating the right mood isn’t just about what you hear; it’s also about what you feel. For many people, a few simple additions can make solo or partnered play feel more comfortable, seamless, and enjoyable. A water-based option like ONE® True® water-based lubricant with aloe is designed to feel lightweight, natural, and long-lasting, helping reduce friction and keep the experience uninterrupted.

And while Masturbation May is often centered around solo pleasure, it can also be a chance to explore what feels good with a partner. Condom styles like ONE® UltraFeel and ONE® Pleasure Plus® are designed to support pleasure-forward experiences with different sensations to match your mood. 

At the heart of #MasturbationMay is connection to yourself, pleasure, and a community that embraces intimacy without shame. That’s why at ONE® we focus on more than just premium products; we also invest in community programs that create space for education, self-expression, and meet people where they are to have honest conversations around sexual health and wellness. 

ONE® Band, ONE® Sound

ONE® believes that the shared love of music can be used to break down taboos around sexual health, and ONE® on Stage is our way of bringing that to life. Through this community program, we partner with local bands nationwide to distribute free, co-branded condoms at concerts, combining music with responsibility in a way that feels natural, not forced. By working directly with artists, we turn performers into advocates, integrating safer sex into the culture of the live music scene.

Fans at the shows receive a peer-driven message, one that makes sexual health a casual, accepted part of the concert experience. Beyond the venue, participating artists also gain exposure through ONE® Condoms’ platforms, helping amplify both their music and the message. 

This program is open for any active band in the US or Canada to apply! Interested in joining? Submit an application and get in touch with us here: ONE® Condoms | ONE® on Stage | Bands Promote Safer Sex.
