My sense is it depends so much on the erotic register of the dynamic, which begins with the lovers' inner relationships w/their erotic selves. The openness to eros in both humans is paramount. If that doorway is open, it all flows naturally from that inner need and desire. If it's closed or only mildly ajar, dirty talk feels terribly awkward and silly (and not in a good way). So the openness to the erotic in oneself seems to be the necessary foundation. From there, cultivating the embodiment can happen. As that matures, one's ability and fluidity in expressing these desires in dirty talk becomes second nature rather than an awkward stumbling block. Once that inner connection is strengthened, the actual learning curve for filthy talk is mild and one can pick up a few tips here and there to get better at it in short order. Do you agree or do you think I'm missing anything?

Side note: I love how you speak about praise. Praise as care. Praise as love. So beautiful.
