Everyone is welcome!

Spanish is the language of love. I absolutely LOVE that language! I think it's so sensual, sexy, and delicate. ❤

There are quite a few Hispanic students on my campus, and so I am trying to learn some of the language. I plan to take Spanish courses at some point, but for now, I love to learn from people. When I worked at Dunkin Donut is when I learned my most Spanish because I wanted to communicate with customers without a translator. The joy and connection formed from having someone teach me their language which they love is my favorite memory of working fast-food service.

My Sea-Goat definitely likes Latinas and enjoys them, too. And what's NOT to like? They are fun-sized, a lot of the ones on my campus have either curvy bodies and long hair and are very sexy. Or they have no curves at all and have short, almost boyish hair style s and they are cute (and I hate myself for using this word) - edgy and nerdy (into video games and anime.)

So, I got this idea to try and speak Spanish in bed. My Sea-Goat went along with it, and by the time things were concluded, we both agreed that it worked very, very well.

Thing is, my vacabulary in bed is limited to "Si! Si! Papi!" Or "Si! Papi Chula! Siii!" I don't know if I spelled that right. The only other Spanish I know is conversational or related to the kind of coffee you want.

Spanish speakers! Give me some advice on the kinds of sexy things YOU say in bed! I would really love to build on what I know to add this fun and exciting dynamic to our love-making. It's crazy, but language really does change more than just what you say linguistically. As I spoke my basic Spanish in bed, I could feel my body language changing along with it. I felt...like a sex kitten. More coquettish and flirtatious than when I speak English. It's something I hadn't thought of before - to change my language to add spice, much like I change lingerie to set the mood.

So, any suggestions for other dirty or sexy things I can say in bed? I don't care if it's dirty, raunchy, hot...Teach me. I would love sentences with the R's because I'm great at rolling my R's. Also, anything with 'Sh' sounds are tingly! ❤

It's specially useful of your partner doesn't speak it and he is doing crappy job - there you go girl!!!

And he will be back...because he thought you were yelling 'yes!more!how

Large!youbare the best' ...

So downside is you will have to explain him in Hebrew - he was awful and push him out the door so gently that he never find out why!

He will just think Spamish Jews are nuts! —?

I understand where you are coming from. It's definitely gross if the person is using your language to jump-start romance that isn't there. For example, a guy once asked me how to say "I love you" only to then repeatedly yell it at me. Major turn off

But in this case, I'm not the least bit worried about it.

I'm bilingual, and he knows I've a passion for languages. He is level 5 Spanish, speaks some Italian, and speaks German and English. So, teaching each other things and exploring languages is one of our bonding activities. We love to watch foreign films together.

I have no doubt it will work because we are both open to it. Even if we laugh, that only adds to the fun in bed. Practice makes perfect - but the practice is where all the fun is!

Keep them coming! I appreciate your input!

Tell him:

Siéntate arriba de mi cara.

Jodame

Dámelo papi
Thank you so much for these!

Can you give me a quick definition of each?



Jódame = fuck me

Dámelo papi = give it to me daddy

Siéntate arriba de mi cara = sit on my face



I was trolling when I posted that last one. Unless you really do want him to sit on your face. Then use it.

LOVE IT! ❤

Me encantan sus ojos cuando risas.
What a mouth full! What does it mean? It is perfect for a moment of eye contact and stroking, in between besos. ?
I love your eyes when you laugh.

That's so true and so sweet!

One day, I'm going to visit Spanish speaking countries and fully immerse myself in the language. Truly beautiful!

Good lord. 😆

I can hear it...and sexy is the last thing I would describe it.

But wish you the best on your Spanish adventure. 😄


I promise you, I don't have a harsh American accent. I got to a point at Dunkin where I would use the Spanish I knew, and customers who didn't know me would assume I was fluent and go off only to have me stop them and tell them I only speak a little. Benefit of being a third-culture kid - But thank you! I'm adventurous and confident, I'll be just fine. ?

DO IT! You can even tell him beforehand that you'd like to try some Spanish. Especially with your red-painted lips ?.You will surprise him and, if anything, it will be an adventure. Maybe start off with a few words you are really comfortable, and just repeat that when you feel it. For me, it was "Si! Papi!" It really got me going, too, just SAYING it.

I speak all sorts of Spanish in the sheets, lol

☺️

Tell me some of your favorite phrases! ☺️☺️☺️
Nah, it's what you feel at the moment..

❤️
Yes, but I have to learn the phrases before I can use them when I feel them at the moment, yes?
Is Spanish your native language?

It is not, no. I have recently done some exploring at the library of my geneology and family tree, and my great grandfather from my mom's side was from Mexico! My Spanish co-worker was like, "THAT'S WHY YOU LOVE SPICY FOOD!" Haha

Anyway, no it's not. Pay attention to meeee! I said so in my OP. I speak two languages and I'm currently picking up Spanish.

Take him to the bedroom, "Ven aquí con migo"- come with me. "Quiero su cuerpo"- I want your body. "Quiero a ti"- I want you. "Quiero más, papi"- I want more, papi. And of course the sweet stuff, "Eres todo lo que pienso"- you're all I think about. "Perderme en tu mirar"- I lose myself with your look/eyes.
THANK YOU so much! ❤

I love how the verb "quiero" has such an intense and deep meaning in Spanish as opposed to in English. Someone was explaining to me what "te quieres" means (in terms outside of my asking someone if they want their receipt at the cashier counter), and they seemed so empassioned that I knew right away that saying it is equivalent to "I want you" in English is does not even do it justice.

I love those, muchas gracias! ??

I don't work that way, Good luck on your thread.

Why are you behaving so uptight? I said that jokingly. The excessive use of 'eeee' s should have hinted at that, and it's such a ridiculous statement that I thought it was obvious I was being facetious. Anyway, I don't want to argue. I'm loving how this thread is unfolding and everyone's contributions and jokes. Thank you for wishing me luck. Exploring another language is always exciting ☺️

Puto = "who re"

When it comes in bed, scream like that.. in Spanish. 😉 😛

Oh gosh lmao

All my Spanish comes from Colombian Mexican and Venezuelan soap operas used to watch when I was a kid.

If I say that I would laugh my ass out and embarrass myself I know that for sure ?

it's kinda weird tho if he's latino and ur basically trying to be latina lol

if he wanted a latina he'd be with one i guess
No, he's not Latino. He's white with German and Italian heritiage. He's studied Spanish and has a knack for languages and I also have a love of languages.

When you think about it - it isn't any different to role-playing. I've discovered that language is another way to communicate. ?

Ah, that's a little different. My Sea-Goat isn't Spanish, but I don't think he'd think it weird if I tried out German on him.

Speaking like a Jamaican? As in speaking English with that stereotyped accent?

Why would it be weird for you to try and learn his language? I don't get it, honestly. How is it any different from learning to cook food from his culture or wear clothes from his culture? Isn't that the entire point of knowing people from different cultures - to share it and celebrate it? 🙂

And of course the sweet stuff, "Eres todo lo que pienso"- you're all I think about. "Perderme en tu mirar"- I lose myself with your look/eyes.

Just a couple of amendments...

Ven (aquí / conmigo) = come (here / with me)

Perderme en tu (mirar / ojos) = I lose myself with your (look / eyes)

Then there's also the classic phrase...

Tu quiero = I love you

I have two Spanish instructors who are insisting I take Spanish, and I KNOW I am going to have to eventually. They have such high expectations of me because when we cross paths, I greet them and respond in Spanish. I fear the grammar and all the conjugations! ?

Thank you so much for that!

I feel like the language is constantly fetishized and that really fuckin bugs me.



I understand why @-flo- is being uptight.
The reality is, Spanish is part of my life. I encounter it every day when people with not very good English need to communicate. That's when I started picking it up. My wanting to use it in bed was a recent idea that I enjoy. So, if someone is picturing me judging using it for sex (although that IS my perogative) they can't be further from the truth because I'm the person patiently trying to communicate with my bad Spanish with someone who has bad English while working at the library. I never want anyone to feel as though they are a burden.

It IS the language of love, but so is French, and people fetichize that. I didn't know, however, that this has been an issue with people fetichizing Spanish. I am not asking Flo or anyone to support me. I am totally fine with her not indulging and answering my thread. It's really no big deal. Perhaps it would have been better for her to outright express what you have just done so that I could better understand her attitude and perspective.

Lol I've never seen French as the language of love. And it's my mother language. It's cool to speak it during bed I guess, but a lot of it is unromatic imo.

Totes agree (I don't know why I just said "totes" but I'm going to go with it.)

People are always saying French is the language of love (and Paris is the city of love) and I'm like "PFFFFt! I think Spanish is!" Heck, I think Arabic is more a language of love than French. I really wish Spanish was offered at my school, but alas - French it was.

Yeah, I could agree with that, though maybe Arabic is a different kind of love in the undertone. But it is all-consuming just maybe without the eroticism that Romance languages look for. Like when you greet someone you really love with "hayati", most people in the West would never dare that as a greeting exchange.

Paris is more the city where people go to have great sex, not so much love.

I'll never forget when someone complimented me by saying, "You look so beautiful today!" I thought and I thought and I thought - then I decided to just go for it: "Your eyes are what's beautiful!" (3yoonik ili hiloowah)

The weirded out feels were so palatable from her, I literally had to leave her just standing there because it was so awkward. She was like, "Yeah, you don't have to compliment me back, you know?"

So I appreciate his some things just don't translate.

Ya, akhi! I just did a presentation for my speech class where I taught them the alphabet and how to write their names. I promise you that I haven't felt that much joy with other people since I danced at that club. They were so alight with joy at learning and I was at teaching - my best presentation yet, even above my topic on neuromarketing. There is nothing quite like the give-and-take of sharing/learning another language.

"Felize dia del pabo!"

I once said that to a customer on Father's Day. He stopped and looked at me, he kept staring as he was thinking hard, and then his face turned red and he just burst out laughing.

"No! No! No! Mami! 'Felize dia del PADRE!' The other is for turkey day!" He laughed so hard, then told my co-workers of my mistake, and they all joined in laughing at me. I never made that mistake again. Good times

Ah, that's a little different. My Sea-Goat isn't Spanish, but I don't think he'd think it weird if I tried out German on him.

Speaking like a Jamaican? As in speaking English with that stereotyped accent?

Why would it be weird for you to try and learn his language? I don't get it, honestly. How is it any different from learning to cook food from his culture or wear clothes from his culture? Isn't that the entire point of knowing people from different cultures - to share it and celebrate it? 🙂


well knowing someone of a different culture doesn't mean u need to try and be expert in it

just respect it

u gotta be careful to not see ur partner as just his culture. otherwise u can have anyone from that culture... and then he himself is not that special (in other words culture fetish)

i´m not accusing u of that. it´s just the downside to intercultural relationships

i mean jamaican patois (like a creole). a lot of people cannot speak it well when they try and they sound like idiots. besides i grew up in london... i speak english. so it's weird

Understood. I don't think what you're saying applies to me, but I get where you are coming from. It's not just knowing one person - it's an entire community. People at work or in my class on the street or in shops - people who matter. But, again, I appreciate your input.
