Although dirty chat tends to have a bit of a bad rep, itâs actually a great way to spice up your relationship AND tell your partner exactly what it is you like... So, if youâre keen to dial things up with a spot of dirty talk or are after some dirty things to say between the sheets, youâve come to the right place.
Initially, it can be daunting, but once you get into the swing of things, youâll soon be talking dirty ideas and sending freaky texts while your other halfâs in the office. Meow.
Why try dirty chat?
There are loads of reasons to give dirty chat a go - both inside, and outside the bedroom.
First and foremost, it can help heighten sexual tension and get you in the mood, as well as helping to relax you. If youâre trying it in bed with your partner, talking dirty ideas out loud can naturally lead to foreplay, touching and teasing. It can even make sex more passionate and exciting. Whatâs not to love?!
Meanwhile, if youâre doing the whole long-distance thing or living away from your partner and want to try sending some dirty text messages, it can really help to keep the spark alive. Itâll drive them crazy!
You could also try Facetiming your partner or giving them a naughty phone call. Just grab some toys, dim the lights and lube up. Leave your inhibitions at the door and get ready to get stuck into some dirty dares like removing an item of clothing or doing whatever your partner tells you to do.
How to talk dirty: dos and donâts
Dirty talk can be a lot of fun, but before you start, itâs important to introduce some ground rules and discuss expectations.
First things first, discuss it with your partner and check that itâs something theyâre open to trying too. You never know, they might be keen, but nervous to broach the subject, or they might hate the idea - itâs always a good thing to check beforehand.
Once youâre ready to give it a go, check out these tips and tricks for doing the dirty (in a good way!)
1. Do: Agree on some ground rules
Before experimenting with talking dirty or dirty texts, itâs important to discuss with your partner any limits they might have or topics theyâd rather avoid. That way, you can both go into it feeling as comfortable as possible.
Equally, if either of you find it too much at any point, itâs fine to dial it back a bit and take a break. Itâs not for everyone, and once you get started you may find itâs not for you.
2. Do: Discover what they like
Part of the fun of dirty chat is getting your honey all worked up, and that means finding out what they like, and what turns them on.
Whether itâs a secret threesome fantasy thatâll drive them wild or telling them how to use a new sex toy on you, play on it, and expect things to heat up very quickly!
3. Do: Tell them how turned on you are
If youâre enjoying it, let your partner know!
After all, thereâs nothing hotter than knowing your other half is aroused by the things youâre saying and doing...
4. Do: Tell them what you want to do to them (and vice versa!)
If youâre struggling to think of dirty things to say, it can be mutually exciting to tell your partner exactly what you want them to do to you.
Start off slow with things like kisses, strokes and touches, before getting into the truly naughty detailsâŠ
As long as your loverâs comfortable, open-minded and keen to hear your desires, you can take your dirty chat anywhere you want it to go.
5. Do: Try some dirty dares
If youâre planning a date night at home, or over the phone, why not try out some dirty dares?
Agree on some naughty forfeits beforehand (like taking off an item of clothing) or involve toys like blindfolds and handcuffs to really heat it up.
If youâre all out of ideas for dares, try our truth or dare card game, or have some fun with these naughty dice.
6. Do: Relax and have fun with it!
Try not to overthink it. Talking dirty should be a fun experience for both of you. Thereâs no need to pre-plan it too much either. Just go with the flow.
7. Donât: judge them
If youâve decided to explore dirty chat with your partner, itâs important to stay open-minded. If they end up saying something you werenât expecting, donât laugh at them and try not to judge them.
Being open and honest with your partner and willing to listen to their desires will only make your bond as a couple stronger.
8. Donât: Get pushy
Equally, donât be pushy with your partner. If the chat is heating up and getting kinky, but theyâre looking put off or freaked out, it's a good idea to tone it down a little or focus on something else.
The last thing you want is to make them feel uncomfortable.
9. Donât: Comment negatively on specifics
Avoid commenting on things like your partnerâs shape or size. Your lover may have insecurities you arenât even aware of, so itâs generally best to stick to positive comments and compliments.
10. Donât: Feel pressured
Try not to put pressure on yourselves. Remember, it should be fun! If it leads to foreplay and sex, great, if not, donât stress.
The more you do it, the more naturally talking dirty will come. Youâll be an expert in dirty chat before you know it!
