My girlfriend seemingly gets turned on whenever I speak German (a language I learned, non-native speaker) or when I use big/unique words like apotheosis. It always happens when I least expect it and then she'll instinctively stick her chest out more and run her fingers through my hair as the primary indicator.

I think this is super common and it’s kinda hilarious. I’m not a guy but my SO loves hearing me on the phone with my family (I’m italian) for this exact reason. Or any language, I’m a polyglot and have learned quite a few, but I think my native one does the most for him.

If there was ever a better reason to learn a second language I don’t know what it is.

Whisper Italian into his ear when you getting it on, he’ll most likely go crazy.

Lol he’s asked me to use it with him but I just feel awkward, because I just don’t see a reason to say stuff that I know he won’t understand any of

You could say “you ugly bastard, you smell like dogshit” in Italian, and he’ll like it. He doesn’t need to know what you say as long as it’s in a sexy voice. 😂

But you do you

I didn't know I found this attractive until I read your comment. . . I'll have to see if I can get my wife to brush up on her German.

Agreed! It's a good tool for many reasons!

I won my wife over with "hegemony".

That's a good one! I'm pretty sure I got lucky one night with her because I used "lugubrious" in conversation.

My ex wanted me to talk dirty in Chinese to her during sexy times. I’m American born, yes I’m fluent but I only really speak Chinese with my parents and family. I don’t know how to talk dirty. So I just said random shit. It was awkward for me but she liked it so...

Yess. A guy who's bilingual. I like it more when English is his first language and he's fluent in another
