Dirty Talk 101

Three steps to talk dirty to your partner, even if you find it AWKWARD and have no idea what to say

You’ve met someone. There’s chemistry, there’s sparks. You are into them and they are so into you.

Lust is well and truly in the air. Clothes come off, hands caresse skin.

They lean over and whisper in your ear:

“Talk dirty to me”

And… wait, what? Uh… okay, how? Why?

If you’ve never played with dirty talk with a partner before, the request for salacious utterances can feel super awkward. What do they even mean by “talk dirty” anyway? Aren’t the things people say in these situations kind of… offensive?

First things first — remember that you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. It doesn’t matter how hot your partner is or how much you want them. If dirty talk just isn’t your thing, say so.

If you are curious and would like to give dirty talk a try, don’t stress — you needn’t be a perverted Shakespear in order to have a lot of fantastic, sexy fun with your words.

Begin with a Conversation

When you’re incorporating dirty talk for the first time in a relationship, start by having a conversation with your partner outside the bedroom. This applies to all relationship types, from one night stands through to long term relationships.

Ask your partner if they’re interested in trying out dirty talk. If your partner requested this of you, ask if they are ok with you just going for it, understanding it will be awkward or you might say some weird things.

Having the permission to just go for dirty talk without judgment can be really helpful. If you’re worried about both coming up with things to say AND whether your partner will like it, it makes it difficult to even try.

Make sure to discuss together any words or phrases that are off limits, too. For some people, certain words or phrases can be deeply uncomfortable or even triggering.

Step One: Compliments

Dirty talk is kind of like speaking a foreign language. If you think too much about all of the mistakes you will make, then you will never practice and never improve.

The easiest way to ease into dirty talk is to give genuine compliments, like “I love touching your skin”, “I love when your cheeks flush”, or “The way your hips move when we fuck turns me on to watch.”

Rather often, people are not used to receiving complements during sexual play itself. You might be surprised by how much your partner enjoys hearing what you like about them.

Step Two: Sensory Experience

To take dirty talk to the next level, focus on your senses. How does your experience of sex with your partner feel in your body? What do you hear? Taste? Smell? See?

Describe out loud what you sense. This could sound like “Keep fucking me like that, it’s like lightening up my spine”, “Your (or my) pussy is so warm, I am so horny for you”, “I lust you”, or “Your skin tastes so salty and that’s so fucking sexy”

In all of these examples, you are putting words to your separate sensory experience. This sexy is because your partner doesn’t know what your internal experience of sex is like. When you share about your experience, even just briefly, it is incredibly intimate, as you are the only one with this information.

Step Three: Desire

Once you feel comfortable with giving compliments and sharing your sensory experiences, move on to talking about what you want. Sharing your desires is easiest when they are genuine.

This can sound like, “I want you on my dick”, “I want to come all over your face”, or “I want to see your face when you come” .

The key to desire-based dirty talk is to think about what you actually want and then just say it, rather than asking a question. Where you may have asked, “Would you like to ride me?” you would instead just say, “I want you to ride me.”

It’s sexy to hear desire expressed openly because most people long to feel sexually desired by their partners. Stating it aloud makes it unambiguous, and it can be incredibly arousing to hear all of the carnal ways that your partner desires you.

However, stating your desires directly only works as dirty talk if you have a good consent dynamic in your relationship. Both of you need to feel comfortable saying no.

It helps if you establish a good dynamic of negotiation. Negotiation can sound like, “I want to come on your face”, “Ohhh, that’s so hot! Right now, I want to cuddle up close, how about that instead?”

If you’re still working on establishing an open and supportive consent dynamic, starting out with compliments and sensory experience is a better bet. Sharing compliments and your sensory experience are less likely to put pressure on your partner to say yes if they don’t yet feel confident saying no.

The Secret

The secret sauce in all three of these approaches to dirty talk is that you simply share what is true.

Sharing what is removes the pressure to be creative or inventive with dirty talk. Starting with what is works well because this information is readily available to you. When you begin sharing your internal experience out loud, you let your partner in on how much you enjoy being with them in the moment.

And that is sexy AF.
