How to Write a Dirty Letter

How to write a dirty letter also known as getting kinky on paper is a great way to spice up any relationship. But before you begin to flush out your deepest, darkest desires, you need to make sure that the recipient is mature enough to receive your inner thoughts. Let’s not forget how much trust Lohan and Hilton put into their partners before the launch of those infamous tapes. So how do you start to write a dirty letter? By being honest of course. A great way to wet your partner’s whistle is to by actively engaging their imagination. Let’s do this first by setting up the “where’s” of your fantasy. Take the following approach to helping your reader imagine exactly where your dirty event takes place. ”This morning while showering I was thinking about …”"Every night as I lay in bed, I imagine that you and I are…”"Do you remember when we were at X, what you don’t know is that as Y talked, I could see you and I slipping away secretly to…”Build the foundation that will take you into the actual details of your thoughts and feelings. Next, use the exact words you would use if you were having a conversation with the reader. Always make sure you’re expressing yourself in a way that is natural and using words that you would never verbalize makes this difficult. For example, if you never would say words that are derogatory, then use softer phrases in your writings as well. Words like “caress”, “touch”, “hold”, and “kiss” can have quite an impact if used properly.”Caress your skin”"Touch you in those secret places”"Hold your body next to mine”"Kiss you in a way that shows my love”Let your words flow and use your imagination (not the imagination you’ve only seen on t.v.). Use props if necessary to help your reader visualize exactly what you would wish to take place if the situation presented itself.  The most important advice we will give, once you are ready for delivery is to ensure that you keep a high level of respect for yourself so that you are not embarrassed by your fantasies and deepest desires once your inner flames have cooled down. 

How to Write a Hate Letter

How to write a hate letter is something that doesn’t come easily. Firstly, because they tend to be emotional and secondly, because expressing what you feel in words is always difficult. These tips will hopefully help.

  1. Never write while you’re angry. Feel free to replace the word ‘angry’ with any other strong emotion (sad, hellbent, crying). Writing while you’re angry or overly emotion is dangerous. So, take a break and breathe deep before the pen ever touches the pad.
  2. Words are your weapon, use them wisely. Words have the ability to heal wounds as well as create lifelong scars. When you write a hate letter you want to convey your hatred in every word. You must realize that some words cause paper cuts while others are machetes.
  3. Always stay in control. The wisest of warriors will tell you that control is how they win battles, and staying in control of what you’re writing is not only a way to make sure you get all your points across, but it also guarantees that your words won’t be used against you at a later time. Think about your words, and then listen to them from the perspective of the reader. Feel their emotion and make sure it is exactly what you wanted your words to convey.
  4. Never write what you don’t mean. Writing a hate letter is akin to writing a love letter. That’s why if you don’t mean it, don’t say it. You and only you are accountable for your actions whether they be on paper, a computer screen, or a bathroom wall. So never write what you don’t mean, as it will almost always be used against you at a later time, and it’s hard to defend what you never truly believed to begin with.
  5. Perform expectation management before you sendExpect that your reader isn’t the only one that’s going to see it. Expect to ruffle some feathers. Expect that you’re going to get a response from the reader. Expect the hate to be returned in some way, shape or form.

Writing a hate letter will always make you feel better once it’s done. However, before sending it, make sure that the gladness you feel isn’t resolved completely by just getting the words down on paper.

IF WRITING THE LETTER MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, THEN YOU’RE NOT REQUIRED TO DELIVER IT.

Hate letters are used to cause others the pain we’re feeling. However, sometimes there’s healing in just putting the words down on paper. So, get the words out and feel free to burn the letter once it’s done. See the hate go up in flames, and feel a million times better in the process. It can always be your little secret :-).
