Will someone define 'vanilla' for me?

And, if strawberry and chocolate have similar meanings regarding sex, please define those, as well.

'Vanilla' is not a term applied to sex so much as lifestyle.

Those interested in BDSM describe those who aren't as living a 'vanilla' lifestyle.

I imagine it refers to 'whiter than white', as opposed to the darker, kinkier side which they pursue...

To paraphrase from Star Trek: Generations "Normal is what everyone else is and you are not".

SO vanilla is the sex everyone has, that doesn't require props, costumes, extras, a director, gaffer or union mandated 15 minute break every three hours.

You may need the 15 minute break but you aren't required to take it.
 
The term, is, as you say, differentiated from "chocolate", "strawberry" and "pistachio", which are all named for the colour of the fluid that the associated orifice exudes. "Vanilla" is named after plain old, white, semen.
 
so wtf are strawberry and pistachio? and black cherry swirl?:)
 
Vanilla, borrowed from computer terminology, refers to simple and ordinary sex. No fetish or kink whatsoever.

Pistachio and maple walnut are easy to think of. Do I really have to spell it out? Think nutty.

Tiger is another easy one. Furries!!!

Strawberry? Gay sex maybe? I know I often get strawberry milkshakes so...

Neapolitan is wishy-washy kink. Think fuzzy handcuffs and having your wife kiss another woman (while you and her husband watch... lazy bastards.)
 
So does that make me like parfait? I'm vanilla on top but I've got nuts and chocolate underneath?

"Everybody loves parfait!" :D

:cattail:
 
Chocolate I could guess at and the nut varities are easy, as well. It was strawberry that got me going. Maybe, strawberry is a transitional phase between the safe vanilla and the more daring chocolate. It sounds like we are talking ice cream here, folks!
 
Vanilla, here, but with a dram of something exotic poured over the top when I can get it. Think a Jaegermeister sundae.
 
I need to get to a Baskins Robbins tonight.

I would go to Ben and Jerry's but ordering "Chunky Monkey" after this discussion could get me in trouble.
 
If you think about it (and it's probably already been said in some way), it's an analogy to the way we mull over our choices of ice cream for a sundae or parfait or whatever. We look at the hundred thousand flavors and think, "What do I want? Cookie dough? Mint chocolate chip? Pistachio? Butter Pecan? Rocky Road? I just can't decide." And we look at each flavor and try to make a decision, and eventually say, "Oh the hell with it, I'll just go with plain ol' vanilla!"

That last phrase is what "vanilla" is referring to. Simple, tried and true, no experimenting, you already know it very well. So "vanilla" is the simple ways of sex; just you and your partner and nothing else; no toys, restraints, kinky clothing, costumes, role-playing, nothing. Just plain-old-fashioned-naked-sweaty-roll-around-in the-sheets sex. :)

Perfectly put. :rose:
 
there are different levels to vanilla-esque-ness

there is plain vanilla (for those who are happy with plain creamy goodness), french vanilla (for those who don't shave) and vanilla with a dash of sumphin else (for those venturing into the vast catacomb of debauchery...this is the first step)

Ewww.
Sometimes I wish you were a bug so I could squish you.
Other times there's other kind of squishing involved.
 
But what flavor is complete debauchery then, or is it anyone's choice after vanilla?

This is a bit confusing. Where does strawberry fit in? The strawberry seems very sexual by nature, but all ice cream still has a cream base. Even chocolate has cream in it.

It is 'vanilla ice cream' that began this comparison to sexual preference, I trust? Not the vanilla bean or the extract? The pale color is pertinent, yes?
 
Yup, kinda bland... like plain ‘ol vanilla lesbian sex - which incorporates fingers, tongues, various appendages and orifices, dildos, vibrators, sundry straps, miscellaneous fruits and vegetables, at least a dozen massive screaming orgasms unlike you will ever have with a man…
