How To Talk Dirty During Sex, On The Phone & Whenever
Dirty talk may feel strange at first as you pick your brain for the perfect dirty things to say to your partner. Relax a little—talking dirty isn't an exact science, and navigating it relies more on how comfortable you are versus how much you know about it. Here's how to talk dirty during sex, plus sexy things to say to your partner outside the bedroom to build excitement.
How to talk dirty with confidence
Ease into it.
Give yourself permission to go at your own pace. You're on nobody's schedule to learn how to dirty talk except your own. Sharing your fantasies via text may be a better choice if you're not comfortable with any face-to-face play yet. (Here's our full guide to sexting, in case you're curious.)
Focus on what turns you on.
"Dirty talking isn't about it being gross or crude or vulgar," Shan Boodram, sexologist and K-Y's intimacy educator, tells mbg. "It's just more about, does it make you feel hot?" What makes a phrase dirty is how sexually aroused you get from hearing it. (Here's exactly how to turn someone on, by the way.)
Don't overthink it.
The dirty things you say to your partner should feel natural and flow with the moment. It doesn't have to be super creative; it just needs to feel good to you and your partner. "Good sex is supposed to be freeing and explorative," Boodram explains.
Let dirty talk elevate your sexual experience, not hinder it. The sooner you disregard the pressure you put on yourself, the easier exploring the sexual experience will be.
Avoid any specifics.
When you want to describe the moment for your partner, you don't have to mention their cup size or their girth. Something as simple as "I love your body" can get the ball rolling. And if you want to throw in a few adjectives, generals—like fat, huge, and wet—work really well.
Get comfy with your partner.
The comfort you feel in your relationship has everything to do with what you're willing to try sexually. "Talking with your partner(s) beforehand about your interests in dirty talk can be a great way to reduce the anxiety when you're actually in the moment," sex and relationships therapist Kamil Lewis, AMFT, tells mbg.
Communicate, explore, and communicate some more. A greater sense of intimacy can blossom in your relationship by learning how to talk dirty.
Refrain from judging.
"Keep an open mind and have the mentality of 'Yes, and...,'" dating coach Adam LoDolce tells mbg. "If someone says something a bit off, just roll with it and add to it." Be the person that champions someone's sexual fantasy, not crushes it.

How to talk dirty on the phone
Whether you're having phone sex for the first time or you're in a long-distance relationship, here are some dirty things to say when you're virtually connecting with someone. Pair with a long-distance sex toy to really up the ante (might we suggest the We-Vibe Sync?).
