Uh, while this is a cute and hilarious post, I think I'd freak the Hell out if a guy stopped the action just to put on a soundtrack of any sort, but especially techno.  *cringes*  I'd just walk out.

When I do it, I usually have a form of any upbeat track.
Techno isn't really THAT horrible.

Whathefuck? Seriously, I say that all as one word in reply to this. I have NEVER met any dude who only listens to techno during sex. I mean, if he's a fan of it in the first place, fine he gets a pass, but c'mon.

This is by no means some rampant epidemic among my fellow men (I hope). Most guys, no, people, play music during sex. Mostly for the reason you already listed- it muffles the noises. I don't know about the rest of you, but I want at least a little privacy with my lady while we're loosening every bolt on every piece of furniture.

I don't think it has anything to do with the rest of the reasons you listed. Also, from my own experience, there is already music playing before any sex is happening. Hell, there's usually music playing before you even start cuddling up. As long as it's music that you both enjoy, fuck it... and fuck each other.

while yes i do put music on when im participating in carnal plesures ( hehe i just realized i sound realy old in this post) its only in the backround. my partner likes to hear those sighs and squeaks that " arent the norm"

and i like the sound of the mattress squeaking

One important reason not mentioned here is that techno blaring is perfect for drowning out any sex noises that he doesnt want his parents or roommates to heart.

No techno..but the Misfits, once.  And old school Atreyu, if I remember correctly.

I don't like music during sexy time. I think it would be offensive like he'd rather listen to loud music than hear me moan. if he often needs music to get his adrenaline pumped up, then he isn't the guy for me. I'd hope that seeing me naked alone will get him turned on enough to get going. it would be disappointing if the average song is 3-4 minutes long and he is done when the song is done lol if it is music to drown out noise, then that is different but I don't think I'd get it on with a guy that still lives with his parents.

But techno music is exhilarating to listen to... I guess maybe that's a reason defending the guy..? 

Only music I've ever played during sex is Marilyn Manson. Made for much...hotter sex. I like music during sex. Maybe it's because I love to dance, and music makes me feel that much sexier. =) It actually started so our room mates wouldn't hear, it didn't work, but it became our 'thing'. I've always loved Manson, but now when I listen to his music...it's different. I feel more connected. hehe. Thinking of past romps in the sack ;)

Most porn does not have music, and most porn is not "weird European porn," hence the qualifier "weird." Also: I don't think Fall Out Boy or Audioslave are really techno at all, so I'm unsure why you included them there. But that aside...I can't really handle a lot of music while hooking up.

Too cheesy, too poppy, too...hilarious? I'm out of the game.

I have a friend whose boy at the time put his playlist on shuffle while they were having sex -- big mistake. The Imperial March (from Star Wars?) came on, and she ended up laughing so hard she ejected his...well, yeah.

I can't really say the techno thing has happened to me. Probably because I don't fuck bros.

One time I was watching this video and before he started banging the chick, he played "Sandstorm". Now, I can't listen to that song without thinking of hardcore penetration. Damn it. 

SO awkward. I was over at a friends house when his twin brother brought his gf home and started blaring techno through the walls.

We all looked at eachother as if nothing was going on, but it was one freakin' huge and awkward elephant in the room. XD
