As a flavor. It smells lovely, enhances other flavors, and on its own can taste anywhere from subtle to intense. Using "vanilla" in a derogatory fashion makes no sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-22908253313528213432010-03-19T02:43:36.221-04:002010-03-19T02:43:36.221-04:00That bugs me too.

One time when I was mentioning to a friend that my boyfriend isn't into the kind of sub/dom play that I used to do with my ex (also her ex), she asked, "he's not vanilla, is he?" as though vanilla meant boring, or somehow sexually unsatisfying, or at least bad. It also seemed to imply that anything other than the specific kinks of our mutual ex is vanilla. My honey and I are certainly not what I would consider vanilla, but I don't like the idea that it would be a bad thing if either of us were. Shouldn't it only matter that we're both having fun?Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055554674087590194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-89592629099671749832010-03-19T00:38:25.553-04:002010-03-19T00:38:25.553-04:00You can change the language in Google to whatever ...You can change the language in Google to whatever you want.

As I've discovered MANY times, the inclination toward weird sex and the inclination to talk about it are not always linked.<br /><br />Aebhel - I'm obsessed with other people's sex lives!

No, I don't remotely have a moral objection to any variant of the lifestyle except the one where some people use it to use people with a "license". No, I'm not a religious nut or even religious at all. No, I will not have sex with you, your girlfriend, or your hot friend ever, I'm married and monogamous because that's how *I'm* wired. No, I will not like it if I try it. No, I have no hangups, I'm just monogamous, DAMMIT. No, I am not "unevolved"...LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.com
