What makes for good dirty talk? (~in fic)

[birdsofshore]

I had an idea for a story and it would probably involve a lot of dirty talking and general filthiness. Then I realised that this is something I really struggle with.

What, in your opinion, makes dirty talking hot in fic? Are there things that just don't work for you when you're reading it? What is your favourite kind to read? Have you got a favourite story that involves dirty talk? And, if you're a writer, can you give me any tips? Because I sort of stink at it. I do try, because I know it's great when it works, but I usually fail and have to be bailed out by a beta. I got several compliments on a filthy line in a recent fic and it was actually raitala's doing, LOL.

I even feel awkward READING dirty talk, often, because I'm not always sure how I feel about people calling each other slut and so on, and I'm not fond of porny descriptions of dripping holes. So I basically need a Dirty Talk primer. Can you help? Thank you!

I have such a thing for dirty talk. I love it when pureblooded Draco lets loose in the bedroom and says what he wants to do or be done to him. Something about Draco saying fuck during sex makes me *swoon*

I'm not crazy about humiliation though.

If the two characters are both into dirty talk, it usually makes me pant.

Like others have said if it is done right it can make the sex scene 10 thousand times more sexy.

If you like toppy Draco and blushing Harry I hope you have read Blush and it's sequel Preparation?

They are *yummy* though it takes a blushing Harry to the extreme. But still those stories have always set me on fire :D
