How to Talk Dirty. Sorry, Brooke McEldowney, I didn't mean to talk your topic. Certainly you drew your comics before my idea to write this came to mind. Anyway, tips:
know your audience (hopefully of one of whom you know);
talk in a voice that arouses your partner (deep, sultry, slutty, manly whatever);
a good author doesn't tell, but shows -- so show and let the listener fill in the details;
talk in tones of arousal as you explore, go further into the story;
put yourself in that place -- heavy breathing, panting; your listener should smell your sweat;
titillate her+ senses by fulfilling fantasies, making her the center of it;
find her center -- compassion, passion, pleasure, pain, invective, reflexive, her name ... her name;
make it personal, cater to her needs, wants, desires;
if she wants you to be pumped -- sweaty, spent, make her feel your exhaustion, all of you for her
As for me, I'd rather have the real thing. The phone thing is interesting, but ... not the real thing so it generally would make me laugh or giggle. Now, sultry talk with an angelic voice in my ear where I can feel her breath be it minty, cherry, garlicy -- I'm captivated.
It was my first time to have "successfully" completed this game. A game without losers is a good game to play.
If you are successful, you'll know, unless ... you haven't engaged in the real thing, then -- it's not a game for you to play.
+ this is a general guide, but being straight I'll stick with 'her' for the pronoun
++ Brooke, in no way has condoned my use of her name nor of the link to her work. She does great work and in no way do I wish to offend her or bring bad press to her.

simulating stimulation
irrational verse
It's the song in your heart and the voices in your head. It's hypocrisy... do as I say, not as I do.
Your heart, passion therefore, calls for action that puts you in danger, financial, relational, vocational, mortal danger. It is a tightrope. Without passion, you hardly exist. Responding only to passion leads you to ruin, maybe death. It calls for you to follow a whim... a fancy, charter a course for romance on a burning ship.
"Love; who can understand it?"+
You hold a knife in your hand, why? You aren't cutting cake are you? When passions are so deep, but vile, it is best to run. Bury the knife in the drawer not your "love". It's great burning ... filled with unmatched passion. Kiss, love, wet, heat, the world vanishes.
When the outside world is the only comfort, go there, leave the dark wood of impassioned hell. Be there a void or a nuclear bomb, wiser is the person who steps away. Wiser still is the person who insulates the world and marks the area "no man's land".
Wicked is the life, unfilled, passionless, devoid of feeling. Wicked is the life consumed with passion, thinking far removed from life. Follow your chosen path, but always, always, always heed the voice of reason, which often battles the voice of passion.
Shrek saw those fallen and roasted knights who followed "passion". He completed his goal with a clear mind, passion developing over time, allowing him to sacrifice to follow his passions. In this fairy tale, a happy ending. I wonder where, my passions will lead me, as I visited a person whose passions lead to a near-death experience. Til death do us part was not a contract to be fulfilled upon "bad days" or bad characters.

Man with scar
His deeper scar is emotional. He will need much, much counseling upon leaving hospital. Now, he will bear a scar ... hopefully until his death at 90, that he needed help long before he sought it. I surprised him with my being there.
