Have you ever wondered what cunnilingus was called in Shakespeare\u2019s time? Or how gentlemen might have asked for a hand-job during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I? <\/p>

What words would the men in your great-grandfather\u2019s day have used when wheedling women into a bit of anal sex?<\/p>

Words are the building blocks of human civilization, say linguists and historians. To that we might add that they perform an absolutely critical function in humanity\u2019s age-old quest for good sex.<\/p>

In 1386, a gentleman desirous of a good roll-in-the-hay would have politely asked if he might give a lady a green gown. If he were more of a boor than a gentleman, however, he would have suggested that they go ‘swiving’.<\/p>

Both of the above would have involved entering into an argument in Shakespeare\u2019s day. <\/p>

If that argument happened to belong to a woman who demands payment for her services, then she would\u2019ve been what people back then called ‘an aunt’.<\/p>

\"\" — Words can perform an important function in good sex.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
By the 1890s, a cowboy wishing to get off his guns might ask a lass if she fancied a bit of ‘gustick’. If the girl was amenable, she and the cowboy would have gone somewhere to exchange some ‘juice for jelly’.<\/p>
Fifty years later, someone who performed fellatio was considered an ‘icing expert’. If you had a habit of performing analingus, your friends would have said that you liked to ‘clean up the kitchen’.<\/p>
Sexy is a Four-Letter Word<\/h2>
Clearly, people have been talking dirty for as long as they\u2019ve been doing the deed. That\u2019s because dirty talk is an easy way to be provocative, evocative, and sexy.<\/p>
Whether you and your partner are moaning in the throes or connected by screens, verbal seduction can convey desire in ways that no image can match.<\/p>

Dirty talk can be provocative, evocative, and sexy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
But not everybody is keen to put their pleasures where their mouth is. Some shy away from dirty talk because they don\u2019t know how. Others are worried that they might look foolish. <\/p>
\u201cMost people tend to avoid making much noise because they worry about saying something their partner doesn\u2019t like, feeling like a poor imitation of a porn star, or just not knowing what to say,\u201d says Vanessa Marin, a psycho-therapist who runs a private practice in San Francisco. \u201cSo, they settle for quiet sex because it seems like the lesser of two evils.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>
Speaking the Universal Language<\/h3>
Recent research nevertheless indicates that dirty talk fantasies are common across genders. Women are actually the most likely to fantasize about it – *and fantasize about it often<\/em>. <\/p>*

Some 93 percent of the women who participated in a survey undertaken by the Kinsey Institute in Indiana fantasized about dirty talk. <\/p>
Fifty-six percent said they fantasize about it often. <\/p>
Men daydream about dirty talk, too. <\/p>
Ninety percent of men fantasize about dirty talk – with 43 percent admitting they fantasized about it often.<\/p>
There really are no rules when it comes to expressing your sexuality – or yourself – in bed. <\/p>
Dirty talk can be as diverse and expansive as the people who engage in it. Some people use four-letter words, others wax poetic.<\/p>
If you\u2019re new to dirty talk, the idea of verbalizing your sexual thoughts and desires might seem either ridiculous or overwhelming. <\/p>
But expressing your sexuality verbally is more fun than you might think, and \u2013 when it\u2019s done right \u2013 it comes easy and naturally.<\/p>
Practice Makes Purr-fect<\/h3>
Marin says you can actually start learning to talk dirty by yourself. That may sound silly, but it\u2019s good way to determine your comfort levels, what words come naturally to you, and how dirty talk affects you.<\/p>
If you’re feeling especially awkward about practicing alone, you can prime yourself with a little moaning and purring. Experiment with a few sighs or groans, or heavy breathing. Try saying a few simple things like, “That feels good,” or just “Yes.”<\/p>
You can do this while touching your body or masturbating. That would allow you a sense of what it\u2019s like to be verbal when you\u2019re sexually stimulated.<\/p>
When you\u2019re ready to have an audience hear your sexy talk, be prepared for an initial awkwardness. That\u2019s to be expected.<\/p>
\u201cYou don\u2019t want to force yourself to talk dirty if you\u2019re genuinely not interested in it, but then you\u2019re never going to improve any aspect of your life unless you push yourself a bit,\u201d Maris says.<\/p>

Easing Words into the Sexy Flow of Things<\/h3>
If at first you feel uncomfortable trying to be verbal while you two are in the throes, you and your partner can try talking right after the deed. Talk to your significant other about how things were for you.<\/p>
You can begin by describing what you enjoyed. That should be easy. You already know what happened, so you\u2019re just sharing your experience, not inventing something new. If all else fails, you can start simply by saying, \u201cThat was great.\u201d<\/p>
Once you feel more comfortable, try more detailed things like, \u201cI liked that particular position because it was hitting some really good angles for me.\u201d<\/p>
This will likely help you feel more relaxed and candid. The exercise might also give you some ideas about what to say in the future.<\/p>
The key to introducing dirty talk is to ease into it with phrases that come easy and natural. You don\u2019t need to play a role or pretend to be someone you\u2019re not – unless that’s your kink. <\/p>
Give yourself permission to just be you in the bedroom. Be authentic.<\/p>
\u201cOne of the best ways to ease into a little dirty talk is to just think about how you’re feeling in the moment, and describe the effect they’re having on you,\u201d says writer and podcaster Rachel Shatto for *Elite Daily<\/em>. \u201cIt will make your partner feel amazing and be much more organic for you.\u201d<\/p>*

Listening is Just as Important<\/h3>
Don\u2019t try to ignore your natural discomfort, either. The kinds of words you prefer to avoid is irrelevant to the quality of erotic conversation.<\/p>
Dirty talk is best executed through a frank and honest description of your desires and feelings using language that might challenge your limits, but never oversteps it.<\/p>
\u201cTry whispering your plans for them gently in their ear,\u201d says Shatto. \u201cTrust me when I say a little dirty talk in a low voice will guarantee you their full attention. Besides, who doesn\u2019t love a dirty little preview?\u201d<\/p>
Remember, too, that dirty talk does not only involve talking. Listening is equally important \u2013 and just as enjoyable. You receive your partner\u2019s words, and he or she guages your reaction to them.<\/p>
Tell your partner what you like by responding with sounds, movements, and more words. <\/p>
In turn, you can learn – from his or her response to you – what stimulates your partner the most.<\/p>
Long-term, satisfying lovemaking<\/a> involves being open to learning about your partner\u2019s desires – and, just as importantly, about your own.<\/p>
We\u2019re always hearing that we could all be having better sex, more intense orgasms, or all-round better relationships. <\/p>
Freely expressing our deepest desires is one of the things that might actually help us achieve those goals.<\/p>
