Sexting
The book that put Tina’s dirty talk techniques on the map. “With the communication skills you’ll learn from this book, you’ll develop confidence to have the kind of sex you want to have and connect with the people you want to have it with. You’ll learn to think of language as a vibrator for that big sex organ between your ears! Speaking of vibrators, you’ll also learn how to use your personal computer to become a veritable erotic filmmaker and superstar, albeit one who is creating a private collection with an exclusive audience. In Chapter One, we’ll cover the basics of dirty talk, from learning your favorite vocabulary words to exploring role-play fantasies. Chapter Two will teach you to navigate the evolving world of hook-up apps and dating sites. Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about digital flirting and the language of sexting is in Chapter Three. A naked picture says a thousand words in Chapter Four, where you’ll learn how to take flattering selfies that stay secure. Dirty talk and private show-off pictures can be a way to reclaim words that make us feel fabulous about our bodies and relationships. It can also help us to assert our identities and explore our fantasies. Dirty talk is about cursing a blue streak in bed. It’s about creating a teasing video just for your partner, or sending them a detailed description of what you want to do tonight. Most importantly, though, it’s about asserting what you want, and listening to what your partners want so you can make each other happy and fulfilled I’m looking forward to making cunning linguists of you all!” —Tina Horn
