How to talk dirty without embarrassing yourself

What is dirty talk?

There are lots of synonyms for dirty talk and to be fair, they are all quite derogatory. Erotic talk and love talk are the closest thing to what it actually means but — honestly — it is a tool we can use to become more verbal with our wishes and desires and almost a vice in giving ourselves confidence. Think of it as a mate helping you achieve your dreams and goals. Dirty talk, whether really filthy, explicit or not, will help you verbalize your sexual desires and enhance your your sex life.

It is proven, that it can stimulate your imagination and the frontal cortex, which is where we find our pleasure area.

Too many (in particular) women’s magazines glorify talking dirty as a way to please your partner. But we want to get to the more selfish part of it. So grab a coffee and read on.

Is dirty talk for me?

Not everyone likes talking during sex. And that’s totally ok. 

I don’t know about you but I have an inner monologue in my head during sex. 

I’m thinking — mmh, this is good — or — yes, ooh, let’s shake this up and have a toy involved. If this resonates in you, then dirty talk might work for you. If your partner is non-verbal during sex, it might not.

If you decide to try dirty talk, consider what mindset you are in beforehand as this can have consequences later on. When we immerse in this intense and high energy exchange and are already in a heightened negative headspace then the session may reveal trauma. So be sure you are in a good place and check in on each other.

Open communication & consent

We live in a world where talking about sex is becoming easier. 

Our partners should be a safe haven we can turn to to voice our desires & wishes. 

Therefore, this also applies for dirty talk. Ask when you could have a little chat about it (your partner may be taken by surprise and not know at first what they think about it), mention it casually over dinner or plant a seed in their mind that may come to fruition in the near future.

Be aware that they may have qualms because they don’t know how to “do it” or don’t know if they’ll be comfortable. Consequently, reassure them that you are in it together and you can stop anytime (use a safe word if you like; check out some of these) and additionally, guide them if they don’t know where to start (this article is a great way in, send it to them!).

To sum up, ease in slowly. Try not to whip out the big guns and explicit words when you’ve not even crossed the foreplay. Think of it as a slow build-up. You want to create some sexual tension. Dirty talk works best if you see it like a first date. 

Build that magic, the spark and then the real dirty talk will come naturally. 

For example, if you want to try it in the evening, throw in some cheeky things during the day. A spicy text message, a hug and cheeky whisper of what you’re going to do to them. If anything, it will keep you connected and thinking about each other all day. Can you see how beneficial dirty talk can be without saying rude words?

Be experimental with the different forms of dirty talk (further examples in this article).

What kind of dirty talk is for me?

Most importantly; try not to be someone you are not. Me? I am a bit of a joker. Saying rude words makes me giggle (yes, I was the one red in the face when we talked about willies and fannys in school). Don’t change who you are when you approach the subject of dirty talk. Because I smirk when I say dirty things, I like to use words like willy and describe my yoni as “her”. For the actual act I do like to use the word “fuck” but similarly, it depends on the situation and my mood.

Whether sensual dirty talk like “You feel incredible” or the more freaky examples of “Fuck me harder” you need to find and evolve what works for you. 

But trust me, it will liberate your sexual experience.

Different forms of dirty talk

The different places you can apply dirty talk are diverse:

1. In bed (duh)
2. By text message
3. Written form (notes, e-mails etc)
4. Public places (taboo, much?)
5. On the phone

The after-care

When you use dirty talk there is always the possibility that there will be a certain amount of humiliation, loss of control and physical or psychological intensification of emotions. 

Dirty talk can be enveloping and hypnotic, which makes it even more important to return to a reality and normality after the sex. 

Again, communication is of essence. No matter how you choose to care for your partner’s well-being, dirty talk requires a consensual before, during and after the session.

Physical care: stroking, kissing, cuddling, tending to any physical issues/injuries, foster intimacy, catering to nutritional needs.

Emotional care: communication, affirmation that you enjoyed it or opening up about what wasn’t comfortable, asking questions and truly connecting about the shared experience.

Both the more dominant partner as well as the submissive needs to come down from the headspace they have experienced and this needs to happen consciously as to avoid any anxiety or feelings of shame.

Dirty talk can be a key to healing previous trauma.

How to talk dirty

So now let’s get to the nitty gritty, the HOW.

INTONATION

If this is all new to you, and you don’t normally sound like a Brigitte Bardot whispering sensually in your significant other’s’ ear (like me) then there are a few key things to bear in mind. For instance:

1. Say it clearly and slowly.
2. Take breaks
   (don’t bombard your SO with all the words).
3. Put emphasis on the naughty words
   (particularly if slang is not your thing).
4. Less is more; you’re not a drill instructor. Choose your words wisely.
5. Don’t be ambiguous: say what you mean as directly as possible or misunderstandings will most certainly occur.

Try not to force things. That normally does the trick.

SENSES

Likewise, try to appeal to all the senses. Use rich descriptive words together with the senses to quickly describe what you like about your partner.

For example:

1. Smell: You smell delicious
2. Vision: Your tits look phenomenal
3. Hearing: I love the sound of you spanking me.
4. Touch: Grab my ass.
5. Taste: Your cum tastes incredible.

This will all feel easier over time. Keep your own senses heightened.

ACTIONS

Try to avoid the conjunctive? What do I mean by that? To clarify, 

instead of “I would like” try “I want you to”. 

See how that makes a huge difference?

Use all the synonyms such as: bite, lick, rub, touch, kiss, hug, fondle, finger, caress, stroke, flick, whack, spank, pound, tickle, whip, pinch, knead, massage …

AFFIRMATION

If you’re rocking the boat by trying this, then be sure to reassure your partner when they venture into these unknown lands. Confirm that what they are saying feels good to you. Try:

I love when…

That makes me feel..

I’m so wet right now…

You are turning me on …

When I think of you I want to …

Dirty Talk Examples

Both the really freaky stuff and the gentler side of things. These are chosen at random and the genitalia are examples. These are interchangeable with others or toys or other. See it as a pick ’n’ mix and have a field day!

The foreplay by text, whispers etc.:

Tonight I’m going to make you scream my name.

I’m home alone, naked and thinking of you.

I have a surprise for you when you get home.

I’m not wearing underwear.

I just want to stay in bed and fuck all day.

I want to surrender to you entirely.

I’ve been very bad today, I think I need a spanking.

I want you to use me and make me yours.

Thinking of you makes me so horny / wet feel tingly all over.

I can’t concentrate at all, I keep thinking about last night / when I masturbated thinking about you.

(Taboo places/public etc.) If we were on our own right now, I would do naughty things to you.

Do you know how much I want you?

Wake me with your tongue tomorrow morning.

I need your warm body beside me. Your touch. Your kiss.

You can also send suggestive photos!

Active act:

I can still taste you.

You were so fucking hard when you were inside me.

I loved it when you …

When you … it made me feel a little uncomfortable. 

Maybe next time we can …

A final word

Above all and in conclusion, be cheeky. A sparkle in the eye is the perfect way to go about this. Stay open to feedback (good and bad), keep in tune with your partner and try to be aware of any reluctance if they are not feeling too vocal yet and have fun. 

Nothing in sex should feel forced. 

And if it isn’t for you, move on and try something different. 

There is so much to explore in the wonderful world of sex!

So incase you didn’t take it all in. Dirty talk can/will:

•  build trust in the relationship
• open new possibilities in your sexual relations
• help you understand your needs and wants better
• create sexual tension sometimes weeks beforehand 
• cause stimulation without any physical touch
• connect with your partner on a whole new level.
