Sometimes, but I’m not that talkative during sex.

OK. Sorry about that. 😉

Think, act, be… not talk (not \*saying \*it was sort of the point).

Haven’t you ever seen a [weigh-in brawl](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiwTYKRmzVI)?

I’m talking about the theatrical aspects of the thing.

The usual pattern is:  
“I’m going to fuck you up”  
\<push\>  
“I’ll kill you”  
\<shove\>  
\<throw water\>  
“That’s it!!”  
\<rolling on the ground furiously hugging\>.  
Hard words don’t mean shit, it’s just silly.. and a little sad to think some people seem to need it to preform.  
I’m guessing they’re the same people who need dirty talk to get it up.  
[Case in point](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLHHPv7vu0c).

I think it is funny when someone finds dirty talk embarrassing. There’s not much room for her to be embarrassed when I am there with all my shame for the world to see.

When it’s sincere, it’s enjoyable. But when it’s cheesy, I get uncomfortable and think that she’s not really having a good time.

Not really. My SO wishes I would talk dirty, but when I try to comply with his requests, it just sounds like, well, like I’m trying. It doesn’t feel natural at all, so I just think I sound like a goof. He doesn’t talk much, either.

Generally he only asks when I’m going down on him and, frankly, I have better things to do with my mouth at that point.

No. Shut up, you sound like an idiot.

Earlier I cooked your burger n’ fries, washed your clothes, and we spent an hour doing yard work, and now you’re spewing out “dirty talk” and expect me to be turned on???😕

SHUT. UP.

Agreed, you have to be good at it. It isn’t just talking dirty.

Boy, I guess it just depends, doesn’t it? Being told what’s good, what works, what feels good, or what the other person would like to do next can be fun!

Plus it can be edifying. Real-life transcript follows:

A: \<sexy request\>  
B: Really? I didn’t know you … okay! \<complies with request\>  
A: \<happy noises\>

I kind of like being insulted, (with the **MeanOldLady** “Do not slap me in the face with your dick. Thanks” Corollary, as outlined above), and if you’re going to talk dirty to me, you have to do it with a bit of confidence and, you know, _joie de vivre_. There’s nothing worse than a tentative dirty-talker (You’re dick’s _real hard_, is it? Intriguing. _Do_ go on).

And I’m not much for running commentaries, but I have, on occasion, come out with some completely fucking filthy one-liners that have, as it were, drawn matters to a swift conclusion. I have to be in the mood, though. I don’t like being asked to do it - I tend to get a bit sarcastic and literal, as per [this](http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=542).

Not a fan of the dirty talk.

I also don’t like being told what to do, or asked if I “like that.” What’s the deal with women and this question during sex? If I didn’t like it I wouldn’t be there.

I’m good with moans, screams, and even a little acrobatic action, but don’t ruin it by making me feel you’re spoiling for abuse.

^^This.

As with many things it can be good or it can be bad or indifferent.

Yes it can get silly and be a turn-off but then artfully done at the right moments can be a huge turn-on. Better still in true throes of passion, just going with the flow on the way to ecstasy, is the best.

You’re doing it wrong.

Dirty talk in no way has to be abusive. It can if that is your thing but certainly does not have to be.

If I was having sex with either, that would be my reaction no matter what they said. 😉

It’s a really tricky thing. If it moves the plot along, then great. (As in “I really want to fuck you now” or “I love it when you lick my elbow.”) But running commentary, not so much. And overly “clever” names for things just kill the mood. (“Ooh baby, stick your magic mushroom into my strawberry shortcake!” Huh?)

Many years ago I spent some time with a girl who was wonderful in every way except for her bedroom patter. “Ooh ah oh! Ooh ah oh! Ooh ah oh!” She never changed it up to ooh oh ah or oh ah ooh. It got very distracting.
