How to Talk Dirty During Sex (Without Feeling Awkward) in 2025
Let’s be honest — talking dirty during sex can feel intimidating, especially if you're new to it or afraid of sounding cheesy. But when done right, it can deepen intimacy, build anticipation, and ignite intense connection.
If you've ever wanted to explore dirty talk but held back due to embarrassment or uncertainty, this guide is for you. Let’s break down how to talk dirty without feeling awkward — and actually enjoy it.
Why Talking Dirty Works
Talking dirty isn’t just about saying naughty things. It’s about turning your thoughts into words and sharing your pleasure in the moment.
Here’s why it’s powerful:
- Enhances arousal and connection
- Builds sexual confidence and trust
- Brings fantasies and desires into play
- Reinforces consent and communication
Start with Your Comfort Zone
Not all dirty talk has to be explicit. You can ease into it by starting soft and gradually turning up the heat.
Try this 3-level approach:
- Level 1 – Descriptive: “You feel so good,” “I love how you kiss me”
- Level 2 – Suggestive: “I’ve been thinking about doing this to you,” “What do you want me to do next?”
- Level 3 – Explicit: Use raw, specific language that suits both your comfort levels
Practice Outside the Bedroom
Build sexual tension before intimacy. Sexting or phone flirting can help you get more confident with language. Apps like Snapchat, WhatsApp, or private Instagram messages are common platforms used in 2025 for flirty build-up.
Examples:
- “I keep replaying last night in my head…”
- “What would you do to me if we were alone right now?”
- “You have no idea how bad I want you today.”
Use Your Voice and Tone
Sometimes it’s not what you say — it’s how you say it. A slow whisper, moan, or even a gasp can speak volumes.
Pro tip: Slow your speech. Drop your pitch. Use pauses and breathy tones for added intensity.
Words to Try (If You’re Stuck)
- “I want you so bad.”
- “Don’t stop.”
- “Say my name.”
- “You drive me crazy.”
- “I love it when you...”
Avoid: Words or phrases you’re not comfortable with — it should feel natural, not forced.
Consent Still Matters
Even in dirty talk, consent is key. If you're trying something new, ask:
- “Do you like when I talk like this?”
- “Want me to tell you what I’m thinking?”
- “Is this okay?”
This not only keeps both partners comfortable but builds emotional safety, which leads to better sex.
When Things Feel Cringey or Go Wrong
It’s totally normal to laugh, pause, or feel awkward the first few times. Don’t panic — just stay playful.
Recovery tips:
- Smile and say, “Okay that didn’t land — but I’m learning!”
- Shift back to physical cues — touch, kiss, eye contact
- Try again next time with a different tone or phrase
Talking Dirty Based on Your Personality
- The Romantic: Use passionate language like “You’re the only one I want” or “You make me feel incredible.”
- The Playful: Try teasing lines, double entendres, or humour
- The Bold: Dive into fantasies, dominance, or roleplay scenarios

Don’t Compare Yourself to Porn or TV
The biggest mistake people make is assuming dirty talk has to sound like a script. The best dirty talk is real, in the moment, and based on how you feel — not on what you think you “should” say.
Focus on:
- Your sensations: “That feels amazing”
- Your thoughts: “I’ve wanted this all day”
- Your reactions: “You’re making me lose it”
