Is It Normal?

Yes. It is normal.
A lot of people like erotic language because it creates a mood. It can build tension. It can make you feel wanted. It can guide the moment. It can make your body respond faster because your mind is engaged too.
But name calling is a different thing.
Name calling often carries contempt, even when someone tries to pretend it is harmless. If you have history with disrespect, bullying, or shame, certain words can land like a slap in the wrong direction. Even if you are turned on, a part of you may go cold.
That does not make you fragile.
It makes you specific.
Dirty talk can be erotic without being degrading.
It can be commanding. It can be graphic. It can be possessive. It can be playful. It can be intense.
And you can still have a line where disrespect does not cross.
Some people love “good girl” but hate “bitch.”
Some people like “mine” but hate “slut.”
Some people want explicit instructions but do not want insults.
Those boundaries matter because words matter. The right words can open you. The wrong words can close you instantly.
The only problem is when people stay silent and hope it will not happen.
Because then it happens, you freeze, and the whole moment gets weird.
It is not awkward to name your line.
It is mature.
If someone reacts badly to you saying, I like dirty talk but do not call me names, that is not a compatibility issue. That is a respect issue.
A good partner will want to get it right.
A risky partner will complain that you are “making it complicated.”
So yes, it is normal.
Wanting language does not mean wanting contempt.
Dirty talk is a tool.
You get to decide what it builds.
