Iggy Azalea's Take On Dirty Talk

It’s clear from this saucy MC’s explicit lyrics that she’s a woman who knows what she wants.

Born and bred in Mullumbimby, on NSW’s north coast, Iggy emigrated to the US aged 16 to pursue a hip hop career.

Big call, but it it’s paid handsome dividends. She’s since toured with the likes of Nas and Beyoncé and secured spots on the international charts.

So what does she want? For starters, she doesn’t want to be hit on in bars. “I don’t go to them because I don’t like to be approached in those situations,” she reveals. So can the cheesy chat-up cliches and stop scouring your local for potential dates – it won’t work if you want to meet a woman of quality like Iggy.

What she does want is confidence in the bedroom and the boardroom. Here are the other ways you can be a hit with her – and become your own hype man.


SHELVE YOUR HANG-UPS

“You’ve got to be able to do it with the lights on, otherwise it means you have some kind of inhibition. If you want us to feel more comfortable in the bedroom, then tell

us that we’re beautiful and that you like our bodies. It makes us feel like we don’t need to worry about our own hang-ups so much.”

MH SAYS Everyone has insecurities, and they can be kryptonite for passion. Act confident: “This projects higher status even if you don’t have it, which raises your mating value,” says psychologist Dr Gary Lewandowski. So throw caution to the wind. It beats apologising.

YOUR DIRTY TALK IS CHEAP

“Don’t try dirty talk unless you’ve slept with her a few times and you’re sure that she likes it. It’s always scary when you’re in bed with someone for the first time and they start porno. Drop some subtle hints to make sure we’re into it because a lot of the time, we’re not.”

MH SAYS Over time, she might want something less PG. For now, take it slow. “Touching builds comfort,” says psychologist Dr Jeremy Nicholson. “Start replacing verbal cues with physical ones: touch her leg when she makes you laugh.” From little things big things grow.

CHOOSE YOUR BACKING TRACK

“Be prepared beforehand. It’s good to have some sort of background noise during sex, but if your playlist skips to Trey Songz or someone, that makes me really cringe. If you’re unsure of your taste in music – or hers – then it’s probably best to stick to the TV.”

MH SAYS Good soundtracks can relax and entice. Bad ones can do the opposite. Chilled, melodic music like The xx’s Coexist is a winner. And hit play pronto, as this type of music releases the same chemicals in her brain as sex, according to research from McGill University.

POST-COITAL CARE

“This is kind of stupid but true: women can feel weird about having to go to the bathroom and clean up after sex. Hygiene isn’t just a woman’s game. If a man brings you a hot wash cloth or something afterwards, it’s really appreciated.”

MH SAYS Women rate cleanliness – and we don’t just mean hanging up your shirts. “Sex is about comfort as much as anything else,” says Lewandowski. This is particularly poignant after the first act. This small kindness might just secure the second.

WORK FOR SEX

“Ambition is the number-one quality for a man to have. You absolutely must be ambitious and I need to believe that you’re going to be successful – if you’re not already. Otherwise I’m not interested.”

MH SAYS Even if you’re a few yachts short of being the wolf of Wall Street, having drive shows you’ll be a good provider, says Lewandowski. Say: “I plan to be my own boss.” Don’t say: “I plan to kill my boss.”
