Dirty talk for those who feel shy

For everyone who wanted to try dirty talk but was too shy.

How's your dirty talk level?

Start with sounds

Do you like what's happening? Express it with sounds.

Soft (or not so soft) moans, sighs and heavy breathing will help you feel more confident and will gradually prepare you to start talking.

This makes it easier to move from silence to explicit phrases.

Simple phrases

Once you get used to the sounds, try adding something simple: "Oh yes" or "Don't stop."

Start commenting on what's happening, for example: "Mmm, that feels so good."

This kind of gentle praise can be just as arousing as full-on dirty talk.

Confidently or in a whisper

Dirty talk works when you say it confidently. If you admire your partner's actions hesitantly, it may simply not have that sexy effect.

For those who still find it hard to sound confident:

Lean in close and whisper in your partner's ear. That way you don't have to look them in the eye, and it will feel more intimate. Like a little seductive secret.

Talk about your desires

Start with small hints. Catch a sexy mood and gradually share your desires with your partner. To warm up, you can send a message first.

For example, start with the phrase "I can't wait to take your clothes off" and gradually move on to more explicit conversations.

Don't start out too bluntly if this is something new for you both: wait until you're both on the same wavelength.

Think about phrases

If talking during sex is something new for you, come up with a few phrases in advance that you'd feel comfortable saying.

Dirty talk is a skill you can develop

If you don't know what to say, just describe what you're doing, what you want to do to your partner, what they're doing to you, or what you'd like.

Laughing is okay!

Not every conversation during sex has to be serious. Sometimes laughter helps you relax and makes the moment lighter and more enjoyable.

Don't be shy about laughing together: it's a great way to get closer.

The main thing is not to laugh at your partner's attempts to talk dirty, but to laugh together, sharing the joke.
