Epidose 8: Can Dirty Talk be Nice?

Dirty talk in marriage is often treated like something vulgar or off limits, but it can actually be one of the simplest ways to build sexual intimacy with your spouse. In this episode, Michael and Eden unpack what dirty talk really is, how it can sound in a real marriage, and how to use your words to turn your partner on in a way that feels safe, fun, and aligned with who you are.

You will hear a practical breakdown of different styles of dirty talk, from sweet affirmations and tender compliments to playful flirting and more explicit language. We talk about how tone, intention, and context matter, and why dirty talk is less about saying the “right” words and more about speaking with the clear intent to arouse and connect with your spouse.

We also cover how to start if you feel awkward or shy, how to talk about boundaries and consent before you experiment, and how to adjust if one partner is more verbal than the other. You will get ideas, mindset shifts, and examples you can adapt to your own relationship so that words become another way to pursue each other, not a source of pressure or embarrassment.

If you have ever wondered how to talk dirty to your spouse without feeling fake or vulgar, this conversation will give you a simple framework to begin, or to deepen what you already do together.
