Production
According to Chencho (Orlando Valle), Love & Sex is a product of four years of work. The album was titled in reference to fans referring to them as "el dúo del sex" after debuting on DJ Blass' Reggaeton Sex compilation in 2000. Chencho added that they limited the use of explicit words in the album due to an increase in popularity.
