Are you looking for dirty nicknames for guys? If you have a guy in your life, it’s probably time to tease him with your love. A nickname will do that!
I’m a guy… And let me tell you, I would love it if a girl had a dirty nickname for me. A nickname is a great way for you (the girl or other guy) to show your interest in me. I wouldn’t do it any other way.
While it might seem that women are the only ones who want to be shown words of affirmation, you’d be surprised what a little verbal loving can do for the man in your life.
First, my experience with having a girl call me a dirty nickname…
I’ve had a dirty nickname and a cute one. My favorite was when she called me “king.” I’ll admit this secret to you… There’s no other woman who will ever get to call me that. That’s how impactful she was for me.
And it happened from just a small nickname.
Why did it make me feel so good? Well, it made me realize that she was committed to me. Or at least I thought at the time. That level of commitment is HOT. It’s something that I didn’t want to give up. I was addicted to it.
That’s what you can do to your man with these nicknames.
Expert advice: While studies have shown that women respond very well to affirmations, men also appreciate affirmation. Do you know your boyfriend’s “love language?” You might be shocked to find out just how many men have “words of affirmation” as their love language. What does that mean for you? It means you SHOULD say sweet things to your boyfriend fairly often!

Picking out a dirty nickname for him (my advice on how to do it)
Remember, I’m one of the guys who had a love of his life call him a dirty nickname… And here’s my tip for you.
Firstly, don’t just pick any name. If someone can tell that you’ve picked that name for someone in the past, it’s going to lose its impact. Make sure that it’s an authentic name for your authentic love.
Second, pick something that’s going to boost his morale. Ultimately, it will serve you better. As for me, in my relationships—I ended up doing more for her, spending more time with her, loving her more… All because of a silly nickname!
Lastly, test it out on him. If you see him respond well, keep saying it (but don’t overdo it, of course). If it doesn’t work so hot, then maybe give it some time and try another nickname. Ultimately, you want this to be an endearing nickname. And one that maybe turns him on!
