Scientists Just Found Something Fascinating About How Women Dirty Talk

"The way you talk about yourself shapes not only how others perceive you, but also how you see and feel about yourself. Now, new research suggests that the same principle applies to how women talk about their genitals: the nastier they dirty talk, the happier they are in bed and with their bodies. Published in the journal Sex Roles, the findings suggest that the wordswomen use to refer to their private parts are closelyassociated with positivebody image,"

""Although there were studies from 20 year ago that catalogued the many terms women use to describe their genitals, no one had examined whether using different terms is actually linked to women's feelings, attitudes, or behaviors," Tanja Oschatz, who led the team of researchers from Johannes-Gutenberg-University and Rotem Kahalon of Bar-Ilan University, told PysPost. "Our first goal was to close this gap.""

"Additionally, they explored the verbiage women of today used. Language is constantly evolving, faster than ever before; what was once largely controlled by mass media like the news and TV, can nowrun rampant on TikTok and reach millions of people in mere hours. "What women call their genitals today may carry different meanings and social implications than it did two decades ago, and we wanted to capture this contemporary picture," she told PsyPost."

Using more vulgar sexual terms for genitals correlates with greater sexual pleasure, more positive body image, and higher sexual satisfaction. Using childish or playful colloquialisms for genitals correlates with more negative experiences concerning sex and sexual health. Word choice about genitals also relates to willingness to consider medically unnecessary genital surgery and to personal hygiene practices. Language about genitals has changed rapidly as social media platforms like TikTok spread new terms widely. Survey responses from 457 American women reported commonly used terms in non-sexual and partnered sexual settings, linking language patterns to feelings, attitudes, and behaviors regarding sexual wellbeing.
