Dirty Talk

Is talking dirty during sex a turn-on for you? Does your passion spike when your partner's sweet nothings turn x-rated? Or does sexual slang lie outside your comfort zone?

Here's an exercise that can break down some barriers and open up new possibilities for hot sex talk - The Dirty Word Game. With your partner, write down all the slang terms you can think of for the following words: penis, vagina, vulva, breasts, testicles, clitoris, intercourse, fellatio, cunnilingus, ejaculation, and masturbation. When you've finished, talk about which words are 'hot' words for you and which ones leave you cold - and why. Let your partner know if there are words you're only comfortable using or hearing when you're in the heat of passion. You may want to get creative and come up with sex words of your own - like pet names for each other's genitals or your own terms for favorite positions or lovemaking activities.

Language is important. Find your sexual voice and you'll probably find more passion and desire.
