You don't need to change what you call it.

Talking dirty is still called talking dirty within a sanctified and blessed marriage. Why would it be anything else prior to that?!

The question is not what to call it, but if it's acceptable to God.

I guess my boyfriend and I jest about how much fun we'll have when we marry. It lets me know he has some sexual desire for me. These conversations aren't coupled with closing eyes, visualising the act and masturbation, or anything of the sort.

It's simply a, "I can't wait until we're married and I don't have to stop, instead I can..."

I don't think it's wrong.

If you're putting a downpayment on a car are you never allowed to say, "I can't wait to be on the open road with my Mustang" until you've made that last payment? Is that coveting otherwise?

I think lusting is about someone you don't have a relationship with, someone else's wife, someone other than your own husband etc. not about verbalising your desire for the person you're in love with.
That's what I think.
Exactly. Most ppl include almost everything under lust and that just seems very unrealistic to me. But I do think that calling it dirty makes a difference. Since you dont know exactly what it is that me and my bf talk about, saying dirty implies a lot. You cant know if it actually is dirty or not if you have never heard one of our convos. One common one between us is if we are on the phone and he says he has to go to take a shower, and he asks me if I want to join him. And we usually speak in the context of ,"once we are married you can join me al you like."

that example, i just consider to be flirting. i don't see anything wrong with it, especially since it's pretty obvious he's not serious about you actually joining him in the shower anytime soon.

Most people's definition of talking dirty is telling each other what you would like to do to them sexually. It's usually pretty explicit.

Saying 'I'm going to take a shower, when we're married won't it be great as you'll be able to join me' is not talking dirty. If you're engaged I see nothing wrong in that comment... if you were to dwell on it and turn it into a conversation about what you'd like to do to each other once you're in the shower, then that would be talking dirty and would be crossing the line.

if you're asking if it's wrong: it is. but I am not judging you or whatever. I have been there myself and must admit, was maybe the worst one. now that we're married, when we look back at those moments, we admitted we were wrong for doing such, and should He bless us with kids of our own, we would talk to them about this and may they not do the same mistakes we did.

Wow, its really not that big of a deal. Why would I regret, or want to warn someone else about telling my/their fiance that I look forward to being with him?

For the record, I do not recommend reading anything by Josh Harris. If possible, burn other peoples' copies, too.
Why don't you recommend reading anything by Josh Harris? Are his books/ideas not good? (never read anything from him)

I think personally there is a huge line between back then and now. When Song of Solomon was written he was for sure going to marry her, cause he had already paid the price. Now women can choose and leave anytime. So although you think im gonna marry him it will be ok, there is no parents forcing you to be there anymore. I'm not condoning what your doing im just noting that you cant really use SoS to justify you talking dirty to your fiance!

I dont think it matters whether they knew for sure they were going to get married or not. I definitely dont think there is anything wrong with what we do, but I am saying that it doesnt matter if they knew they were going to get married or not, the fact is they werent yet. So if it was ok then before marriage, it still is now.

The accepted view is that Song of Songs is about a Bride and Bridegroom or a husband and wife. Which does not make it acceptable to use as justification in this instance. Even if it was, from your posts you are not actually yet officially engaged so do not even fall into the category of betrothed yet.

I always thought they were married, I was not trying to justify. Its just that someone else said that things were different back then and ppl didnt go back on engagements, so they were allowed, and I was saying that I dont believe that.

Im saying that it was different so you cant use it as an example. In all actuality of it, they probbly didnt even read the other persons letters untill they were married. Then later a scribe put them together as a peace of work. Thats what i gather quite a bit from reading it! But i always look at things a little different!

I can respect your opinion, even if you had only said you think its wrong, since I dont really agree with the rest of what you said. I dont think that everything in life can honor God, although I do think we shouldnt do anything to dishonor him.
Just a thought...if God created everything for His glory (which he did), how cant everything in life honor God (sin aside).

As far as Song of Solomon, the dirty talk did not happen until they were married. Before \the marriage, it was clean. Correct me (with proof) if I am mistaken.

I am boggled, flat out floored that people could justify this.

1) Christ is not, never has been and never will be relative to each individual. Sin is sin. You are either glorifying our great God and King or you are not. Therefore there is a definite answer to whether dirty talking, as the action is sin or not.

2) Because there are some who ignore the numerous Scripture about acceptable talk/ words/ speaking, etc. and the numerous Scripture about sexual relations/ immorality outside of marriage; why don't we look at it from another point of Scripture. We can consider this in the group of things that are potentially sinful, yet Scripture does not specifically target them (which is most sin).

Do not cause your brother to fall.

9Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak. 10For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, won't he be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols? 11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. 12When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.

Unless you are dating someone who is not attracted to you, it is highly, highly, highly likely that dirty talk will make him lust after you. And you are not married. Justify it all you want, distort what Jesus said all you want, you are in the end idolizing "dirty" talk by not giving it up to God.

Matthew 5:28
28But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Everyone in the Greek, means everyone. Not just married men looking at other women, but everyone. Unless you are dating someone who is not attracted to you, it is highly, highly, highly likely that dirty talk will make him think with lustful intent of you. And even if you get married later he has still stumbled.

Let me draw it out more for you, how even desire before marriage, in the way it is meant only for marriage, is lust.

Say you justify your actions by saying you will get married soon (even 2 days from now). But tomorrow, you are walking down the street and a giant toad bites you and you die instantly. Bam! You were never married. It was lust and sexually immoral. And both of you would be held accountable (luck for you Christ atones for your sins).

Not only did you cause someone you love dearly (hypothetically -->) to fall, but your unwholesome comments (which are completely unneeded if you are as strong as you claim) were damaging to your own spirit.

Any guy who claims they can think naked thoughts and not lust is either a liar or Jesus. I am a guy, I have several guy friends, and this is a very common discussion among guys (that is sexual immorality). We cannot handle it. Why do you think Paul says it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire to men? Because we do!

My bf and I have sexy talk all the time. I always look forward to it. :D It always puts me in a good mood. In fact, when we havn't had a 'fun' conversation in awhile, it shows in my mood. I just don't feel fulfilled.

I personally think it's a good thing to do. How else are you going to learn about your SO's likes and dislikes? It's better to know about those things before having sex for the first time. Also, if you aren't compatible sexually, that could potentially have negative effects on the relationship. For example, I've had people like me, and think about dating me, but once they found out about the various kink that I'm into, it scared them off. My current bf, however, loves it. :p
