panties.
At the same time, I’d begin to undress you. I’d start by pulling open your belt, unbuttoning your slacks, and unzipping your fly so I could take a good look at your (adj.) (noun). I’d pull off your shirt so I could admire your chest and your arms. Then I’d tear off everything else you were wearing so you were naked and beautiful in front of me. For the next hour I would beg you to (verb) my (adj.) (noun) while I (verb) your (adj.) (noun).
I’d plead with you to (verb) me and (verb) me, again and again, until we’d collapse into each other’s arms, totally exhausted and fulfilled.
Once you have completed this second fantasy scen-ario, silently read it to yourself. Then, in a 114 / Talk Sexy to the One You Love
soft voice, slowly read it aloud. To finish the exercise, read your fantasy aloud a second time.
How Low Can You Go?
Did you know that your voice actually gets lower in pitch (that is, huskier) when you are horny? It’s true.
I think it has something to do with testosterone levels in the body. But you don’t have to wait to get horny for your voice to drop—you can drop it yourself. That will make you horny—and, if anyone’s listening, it will make them horny too!
When it comes to talking sexy, it’s not just what you say that makes you look and feel so sexy, it’s also how you say it. In the next exercise, you’re going to feel exactly what I mean.
Exercise 22: Deeper Still
Return to the bad libs you created in Exercise 18.
Starting with the first bad lib, I’d like you to read each sentence aloud three or four more times, trying to make your voice more husky (lower in pitch) and sexy with each reading. As you do this, imagine you are actually talking to your partner. How does that feel?
Practice this voice deepening on all of the bad lib sentences you completed for Exercise 18. When you are done, use your sexy new voice to read the fill-in fantasies you created in Exercises 20 and 21.

How Loud Can You Get?
Sometimes there is nothing more erotic than saying something sexy in the quietest of whispers. But other times, such as in the heat of frantic lovemaking, crying out sexy stuff at the top of your lungs can be the ultimate high.
Up until this point, you’ve been keeping the volume down and keeping your cool. Are you ready to lose your cool? If you are, get yourself to a room that’s heavily soundproofed, and give Exercise 23 a try.
Exercise 23: Twist and Shout
(SOLO)
If you have a radio or stereo in the room where you are doing this exercise, turn it on and crank it up. You are going to be talking very loud, and the music will stop you from feeling terribly self-conscious. (I know women who have borrowed heavy metal CDs by bands like Metallica and Dokken from their kids to do this exercise.) If you don’t have any music, do the best you can.
Return to the first bad-lib sentence you created in Exercise 19. Once again, imagine what it would be like to actually say this to your partner. Starting in the softest of whispers, read the sentence aloud. Next say it in your best stage whisper. Now say it twice as loud.
And twice as loud again. Now shout it out. Shout it over and over. Scream. Cry out. Imagine you’re so full of pas-116 / Talk Sexy to the One You Love
sion you’re climbing the walls. Hold nothing back.
Then give your vocal cords a rest.
Move on to the next sentence you created. Once again, starting from a gentle whisper, work your way up to a roof-raising decibel level. Over the course of several days, practice this with all of your sentences from Exercise 19. Don’t try to do this in one sitting—it could give you a serious case of erotic overload, not to mention laryngitis.
Want more? Go back to Exercise 18 and practice those sentences too.
Reading Your Mind
If you have completed Exercises 18 through 23 you have already done one whole lot of sexy talking.
You’ve been serious, mysterious, dirty, and funny; you’ve purred like
