Dirty talk for beginners, no cringe required
You don't need a script from a film. You need three levels, a few honest sentences and permission to laugh.

Dirty talk has a reputation problem. People picture something out of a bad film and decide it isn't for them. But most good dirty talk is much simpler than that: it's just telling your partner, out loud, what you like and what you want. Said in the right voice, at the right moment, it's one of the hottest things two people can do.
Why it works
Words do two things touch can't. They tell your partner exactly what's working (no more guessing), and they let them hear how much you want them. Both of those are a big deal. Most people rarely hear either.
Three levels, from sweet to spicy
Start at level one. Move up only when it feels fun.
That's it. You don't need new vocabulary. Your own words, said with intent, are better than anything borrowed.
Start by text, if that's easier
Many people find it easier to begin when they're not face to face. A message in the afternoon builds anticipation for the evening:
Keep it between the two of you, and only send what you'd be comfortable with them keeping.
"I don't want a performance. I just want to hear that he's enjoying it. A few words in my ear do more than anything."
"Honestly I'm nervous I'll say the wrong thing. If she tells me what she likes hearing, I'll say it all night."
Two shy people waiting for the other one to start: classic. So ask, in daylight: "Is there anything you'd like me to say to you?" Then try it, and if you both laugh, good. Laughing in bed is a sign you're comfortable, not a failure.
A few ground rules
- Check in first about words that are a turn-off. Some people love certain words; others hate them. Ask, don't assume.
- Keep it about the two of you. Not about exes, and not about anyone else unless you've both agreed to that fantasy.
- If it doesn't land, let it go. No pressure, ever. It's meant to be fun.
Bottom line
Start with appreciation, move to wanting, and only then to telling. Your own words beat any script, and laughter means it's working.
